Apparently - and I'm not trying to stir up F.U.D. just pointing out the article - someone with a Galaxy S7 Active had an experience similar to some Note 7 owners but it didn't go so far as exploding or catching on fire, thankfully:

Even so, now I have to worry about what might happen with our Actives and if this is a problem with these models as well.
I'm seriously hoping it's not a total catastrophe overall but because the Active line sells so few actual units that this might not be reported on very much at all.
I find it funny in some respects that even in spite of the limited distribution of the Actives I still spot them - in the episode of "The Flash" that was on Tuesday night, one character in the show, Cisco, the geek/tech at STAR Labs, was using a Galaxy S7 Active, go figure.
Let's all hope this is a single case issue with this writer from BGR and not something that portends of more problems for Samsung.
