YouTuber claims batteries in three Samsung smartphones have exploded due to the UK’s recent heatwave

A prominent tech reviewer, who was one of many to struggle with a heatwave that swept the UK last week, claims three of his Samsung phones blew up due to the intense heat.

Arun Maini told DailyMail.com that the batteries in his Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S10 are three times larger, blasting the back covers off of each handset, while none of the more than 600 smartphones in his collection were out of phase.

The YouTube star isn’t the only one with a damaged Samsung as several people in the UK mentioned they had the same issue, with one user saying it happened to his Samsung which had been sitting in the closet untouched for a while.

The recent events mirror those of the 2016 Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which was found to spontaneously explode and caused at least 112 fires.

Britain saw record temperatures for more than a week, with the highest reaching 104 degrees on July 19.

And it seems like the heat was too much even for Samsung smartphones.

Another tech reviewer, Zaryab Khan, commented on Maini’s tweet and said he experienced a similar issue.

‘Can confirm the same. Recently my Note 10+, Z fold 2 & S20 batteries have been swollen,” Khan’s tweet said.

The smartphone looks like it was split in half caused by an exploding battery, the user claims

“This hasn’t happened with any other phone in the collection, no matter how old it is. Samsung devices only.”

Some are speculating the UK heat is different, as one Twitter user said houses are built to trap heat, much like a stove, and this could have caused batteries to overheat.

Hussam also shared his thoughts, noting that “Samsung has not tested its phones in heat conditions.” He claims to live in Saudi Arabia.

The news of Samsung smartphones exploding may remind many of the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, which highlighted the challenges of packing more power into much thinner phones launched in August 2016 to beat Apple’s new iPhone.

As rumors surfaced that Apple’s latest device wouldn’t be the biggest innovation of the year, “Samsung execs pushed suppliers to meet tighter deadlines despite many new features.”

Shortly after the phones were launched and bought, reports of phones catching fire began to surface.

Recent events mirror those of the 2016 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (pictured) which was found to spontaneously explode and caused at least 112 fires.

Just a month after the launch, Mobile CEO DJ Koh held a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, announcing the recall of 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 devices that would eventually be replaced with a new and safer Note 7.

Although the company was praised for its quick thinking, it was also criticized for announcing these plans before developing a strategy on how to collect millions of phones in 10 countries and get a replacement for each one.

And a year later, Samsung was hit by a class-action lawsuit from at least 1,900 users in South Korea, demanding $822,000 in compensation.

However, the recall cost the company $5.3 billion and another $19 billion when the company canceled the Note 7 altogether just two months after the explosion began.
