I think you should rather forget about getting a SGS3 now!

A dude from Dublin had his SGS3 exploded after he connected it to the car mount and WITHOUT charger.
Look at the pics for God sake:

Maybe by leaving the phone inside the car was overheating it ?
What is under the bottom plastic besides the WiFi or GSM antenna ?
A phone doesn't just simply go "Boom" like that.

Also , newer phones should come with warranties covering explosions, like some Asus G series laptops come with (Well, they do in other countries anyway)

obviously

MrClass

hmm at least it ain't from the battery

it's burned,kinda melted,but definitely not exploded.
seriously how will it explode from there,what's gonna explode from down there ? the motherboard ? the only part that have a potential to explode is the battery and it looks safe here,the sun have something to do with it i think.

It happend to every phone. It could be from the charger, could be bad. Also it could be hooked loosely. In any case i am on an s3 and the warmesr it got when running alot of apps is the same when its in my hand for s long time.

Voltage regulators are always near an ext. power source. I guess a materialistic type of such regulator could expload. maybe more than 1 amp...High range Capacitors...
