Samsung is undoubtedly one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. But his smartphones have a serious problem that YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss has discovered. He released a video on YouTube on Tuesday showing the batteries of several Samsung devices swell to the point of breaking the back cover. What was interesting was that these were not too old flagships. Devices like the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 8 had swollen batteries. The YouTuber claimed that he had only used the devices once when he reviewed them and then for comparison videos. Apart from that, these smartphones stayed on the smartphone shelf he uses to store any device he doesn’t use.
There were devices from several other brands, such as Apple and more, but none of them had swollen batteries. All devices on the YouTuber’s smartphone shelf were turned off. Note that all smartphones were under the same temperature and conditions.
Samsung contacted Arun (Mrwhosetheboss) to ask if the devices could be sent in for examination. The devices reached the Samsung Labs for research. But the strange thing is, it’s been over a month and the YouTuber hasn’t received a message from Samsung yet.
It wasn’t just Arun, but several major YouTubers and tech personalities said they’ve noticed the same thing with their Galaxy devices, while no other brand’s device has shown such advancements. Even the Galaxy Z Fold 2, which was two years old, had a swollen battery. Watch the video below to understand everything in detail.
More than 250 million Samsung devices could explode?
The YouTuber estimates that there are over a billion Samsung smartphones around the world right now, of which 25% (i.e. more than 250 million) devices could potentially explode. Now, this is something serious. The fact that Samsung hasn’t given him an answer yet is frustrating and obscure.
Note that the devices with swollen batteries were not in use. So maybe it’s just for the saved Galaxy devices. If you have any Samsung smartphones at home, check them out and let us know if they have swollen batteries too.
