A video of an Indonesian man's Samsung phone exploding, setting his shirt on fire has been captured in a CCTV footage taken at an Indonesian hotel, according to media reports.

The terrifying moment when the man's phone burst into flames has since gone viral on social media in Indonesia.

In the video, the man, identified as hotel supervisor Yulianto, can be seen touching his phone through his shirt just seconds before sparks began flying from his pocket.

His shirt was quickly set alight, with the stunned 47-year-old seen rolling on the floor while ripping off his shirt.

The Central Java Regional Police said the Samsung phone was a Grand Duos model, which Indonesian media reported was released in 2013.

"Mr Yulianto immediately removed his shirt after the phone exploded. He had no significant injuries," the Daily Mail quoted Agus Triatmojo, the Central Java Regional Police's head of public relations as saying.

The incident was being investigated, police said.

Yulianto reportedly sustained only minor injuries in the incident.

Samsung has previously been under fire over the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 model which was recalled due to its exploding batteries.

Samsung Electronics Indonesia's Corporate Marketing Director was quoted telling local media the company was also probing the incident.

"Consumer safety is our top priority, and we've contacted the consumer concerned to provide the necessary support, and we are currently investigating the device."
