I do sort of feel that Samsung got a bit of a bad rep for their phones exploding because it wasn't really their fault. The company that made the batteries took shortcuts in the manufacturing process and that's what caused the fires. If they had followed the instructions Samsung had given them they would have been okay.

Although equally the company wouldn't have felt the need to take shortcuts if Samsung had made the batteries to a standard design.
