Watch: Hilarious GTA parody pokes fun at Samsung’s exploding Galaxy Note 7


Samsung devices have been blowing up left and right, and the latest venue to suffer a Galaxy Note 7-related explosion is now the open world of GTA V.

Modder HitmanNiko has developed a hilarious mod for Rockstar’s smash-hit game that turns your Galaxy Note 7 phone into a highly volatile bomb – and you’re absolutely going to love it.

Essentially, the witty mod replaces the standard sticky bomb with Samsung’s flagship smartphone, which means you can now walk around town and wreak havoc with your bangin’ new Galaxy Note 7.
