Achilles’ heel Samsung used again by YouTube’s content product, Arun Maini, a prominent figure on the Google video platform. Indeed, the YouTuber mentions that at least half a dozen of his samsung galaxy smartphones already have catastrophic failures in battery integrity.
Taking the opportunity to present part of its collection of Android and iOS smartphones, the aforementioned content creator focused on the mobile phones of the South Korean giant.
The person in charge of the YouTube channel says that even the Galaxy Z Fold2, a smartphone released in 2020, already has this battery failure.
The scenario is not entirely positive, as the concentration of battery failures in mobile devices is allegedly higher in Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

As published Engadget, these allegations put new pressure on Samsung, especially in one of its most sensitive moments. I remember the case with the explosive Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and all the media debacle around this flagship model in 2016.
If true, the YouTuber’s statements shed new light on one of the biggest issues that can affect any Android or iOS smartphone.
In your video, we see several models of Samsung smartphones whose back cover falls off, pushed by a dangerously swollen battery.

The models most affected include the 2017 Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the 2015 Samsung Galaxy S6, and the recent Galaxy S10 introduced in 2019. It should also be noted that all YouTuber smartphones were stored on a shelf created for this purpose, maintained at a constant temperature.
Also, according to YouTuber Arun Maini, in August last year, Samsung recalled three of the affected devices, launching an investigation into them. However, since this summer month, the content creator has not received any more information from the brand.
It should also be noted that it is not uncommon to see some older smartphones having such a catastrophic failure.
The battery tends to swell due to the gas that builds up inside it when not in use, especially if it hasn’t been used for a long time.

Thus, this type of failure is not surprising in older devices such as the Galaxy S6 or the Galaxy Note 8. vintage to the 2022 standard. Anyway, the YouTuber says that this only applies to Samsung smartphones in his collection.
With an equally significant number of mobile phones from ASUS, Apple, Google and other manufacturers, none have had such a battery failure. Only, notes Arun Maini, Samsung smartphones.
Finally, we are now waiting for Samsung’s response to the allegations made by the creator of the YouTube video.
