I went to plug my phone in with the charger the phone came with and left the room. When I came back in, the phone was smoking and the wire was extremely hot. I immediately unplugged the device from the wall then unplugged the phone from the wire and when I inspected the charging port, it is burnt and will no longer accept chargers. I do not know who I should speak to about this but I feel like this is a serious issue. 

I have a Galaxy S22 256GB version

Thank you for your time
