So its 1 case so far? This probably wouldn't have made the news if the note fiasco never happened. Hasn't the S7 been out since early 2016?
Wonder if the guy had heated seats or something. I try not to leave my phone in my pockets while I drive but store is somewhere in my car.

The S7 has been out awhile and sold millions, I don't think one random incident will kill them, but it makes you wonder what the cause of all this is.

Google any brand + explode and you're going to find results. Anything with a battery can and do explode on occasion.
News media loves hot topics. When a Note 7 exploded on a plane prior to take off, it was huge news... but how many people knew earlier this year, an iPhone 6 exploded mid flight on route to Hawaii? Probably not, exploding phones weren't a hot topic at the time.

The dude didn't say anything about a conspiracy.
What he did say, and I'll repeat it for clarity, is that it wasn't the focus of news outlets at the time, so it wasn't as much as a big deal.
It is true that all LiPo batteries have the potential to explode when overheated or pierced.
You seem to have a strong personal bias against Samsung, instead of speculating, I'll ask you to elaborate.

Yeah, I mentioned nothing about a conspiracy. It's just how the news works. Exploding phones are yesterdays news now, how many people outside of this thread know about this S7 incident?
By the time the next round of Samsung phones come out, most people would've forgot about the Note 7... Just like they forgot about the VW scandal, runaway Toyotas, exploding Firestones. I can't even remember who shot Cecil the Lion and the news made such a huge deal about that...

You seem to have a strong personal bias against Samsung, instead of speculating, I'll ask you to elaborate. | I was being sarcastic. Just slightly mocking because his post seems to suggest Samsung is getting unwarranted news coverage.
Look, I don't think the S7 has any significant issues like the Note7 but any of these one-offs making it on the news is totally justified due to the Note7 fiasco and washing machines.
