It has happened countless times that a battery purchased from unofficial sources and later used in a device has exploded in the hands of its owner. And the manufacturers themselves often warn against this phenomenon, including Samsung. Since October/October, the South Korean company also provides the option of replacing the problematic battery, regardless of whether the phone is still under warranty or not. But now a really curious situation has arisen, when the most widely read Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that thousands of models Galaxy S4s have a problem with battery inflation, and 22 units even caught fire or minor explosions.
The Samsung company Scailex commented on the report Galaxy The S4, like other products from Samsung, is imported to Israel. Certain problems were said to have already been mentioned during the third quarter of last year and these problems were discussed with Samsung. According to him, all devices manufactured after January/January 2014 should be free of any defects and if the problems still occur, either the use of a non-original battery or improper handling of the original battery should be to blame.
