Arun Maini, a popular tech YouTuber with 11.7 million subscribers was also known as Mrwhosetheboss. He had simply issued a video outlining an issue that he had noticed with variety of his older Samsung phones.

Well, the affected phones have been experiencing battery swelling, inflicting the body of the phone to distort and even break apart. The initial list of phones in his collection had suffered from such battery swelling which included the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the Galaxy S6, and the Galaxy S10.

On top of more investigation, this list eventually got expanded in order to include the Galaxy S8, the Galaxy S10e, the Galaxy S10 5G along with the most expensive Galaxy Z Fold 2.

The YouTuber’s Samsung Galaxy S20 FE had also experienced swelling, albeit a bit less dramatically than the others.

Though, it could be worth noting that the UK had recently experienced a severe heatwave. However, the thing that could be worth noting would be the problem that seems exclusive to Samsung.

The YouTuber demonstrates the way all of his older phones were stored in the same manner, at the same temperature and within the same powered down state. All of the older phones from different other brands which he examined remained in one piece and powered on without issue.

He had tweeted out regarding the problem and then Samsung fluently responded and took the phones back for analysis. After not receiving a response in 50 days, Maini had noticed that another famous YouTuber, Matt Ansini, had an experience in the similar problem with his Samsung Galaxy S7.

Indeed, Matt had seen that each Samsung phone of 3 years old and up in his collection had experienced this battery swelling issue. On the other hand, each Samsung phone in their collection before the Galaxy S20.

This was still way far away from a scientific side on the problem, of course, however there has been enough anecdotal proof to recommend that there may be some amiss with older Samsung devices along with a real risk of swelling batteries.

Well, if people would be able to recall then they would remember that this was not the first problem that Samsung had with its smartphone batteries. Back in 2016, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was eventually banned from airlines because of its nasty habit of exploding, prompting a general recall.
