Recently, a battery swelling problem is found in Samsung smartphones by the YouTuber name Mrwhosetheboss (aka Arun Rupesh Maini). While some other YouTubers noticed the same battery swelling among Samsung phones at an excessively high rate. The ballooning batteries problem affects majorly to older devices. While some of them are only a few years old.
The tech reviewer released a video mentioning the swollen batteries issue in Samsung smartphones. The stated problem, he noticed is in the device including S6 (2015), Note 8 (2017) and S10 (2019) respectively. All these devices are sent to Samsung in order to examine, he also tweeted the issue by describing the situation. However, the response by the company is still in pending mode even after 50 days.
Apple iPhones, Google and Asus are in the fine stage
The problem arising in a couple of year old phones as well, to experiment the same. They kept the phone along with other companies’ phones as well under the same temperature. The problem arises initially seems to be one odd situation until he inspects the rest of his Samsung phones collection after having words with other tech reviewers. And surprisingly, he came to know that the others also experienced the same phenomenon. As this also happened to others S8, S10e, S10 5G, and foldable Z Fold 2. And that’s definitely a terrifying one.
Whereas, the other devices including Apple iPhones, Google and Asus are in the fine stage with no battery swollen on it.
The reason behind the problem
Although, battery swelling isn’t a new one among Samsung devices. The reason behind the same is that lithium batteries become older, and there would be flawed chemical reactions resulting in the production of gas. This going to inflates battery cells and chances to increases the risk of fire. This is more likely to happen when you leave a battery without charging or kept discharging for a long time. Notably, brands like Apple also recommend keeping batteries approximately at 50 per cent charge. In the condition of not using it for a long period of time.
Notion of concern
But here the notion of concern is that the swelling that appears on Samsung phones in the past couple of years is more than those of other brands. Although, at this point, it’s quite uncertain that how big the problem is or how ordered it might be. Now, there is Samsung’s turn to respond and deal with the issue appropriately. Noticeably, the Galaxy Note 7’s fire-prone battery makes them for massive recall that directly hamper the brand image. And definitely, this prompted the manufacturers to look upon battery safety as considering this a warning sign to the whole smartphone industry.
