Inactive and old Galaxy phones can cause serious problems, with multiple reports confirming battery swelling on Samsung phones. It’s not about the Galaxy Note 7, which proved to be a structural flaw and therefore caused the biggest Samsung scandal in recent years.
It is usually about Samsung mobile phones and their batteries from last few years. Several well-known YouTubers with millions of followers have reported the same behavior with older Galaxy phones. Whether this is really a huge problem for the general consumer cannot be clarified in the end.
Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) and Arun Maini (Mrwhosetheboss) have normal test equipment. So they have many devices “in stock”. They both noticed unusual behavior from the Galaxy devices they kept in their closets.
Brownlee confirmed when asked that he has had several Samsung phones that have had bloated batteries years later. This has never happened to him with any other manufacturer.
The reason for his statement is a video by Mrwhosetheboss, who has collected almost all Samsung smartphones for more than ten years. He has a wall full of cell phones that he collects at his day job as a tech reviewer. Only Samsung devices are bloated.
There seems to be a problem with the Samsung battery
danger? This is about devices that can no longer be used They can therefore “open” a closet unnoticed. But the Galaxy S10 was also affected, which is not so old. Another channel confirmed that all the Galaxy phones present in the office were more than three years old.
In the end, it turned out that some of the less old devices were also bloated. There was also a lot of affirmation from the peer community. An ugly thing, but there are still some unanswered questions.
Basically, you shouldn’t leave unused devices with integrated batteries lying around. We know this from similarly old batteries that can leak after a long time. The question remains why Samsung is so badly affected.
