Samsung: It's not swelling up, it's just an 8.5% inflation.

"Now just because something happens to you or doesn't happen to you doesn't mean that it's statistically true". Facts

“Say no to spicy pillows” Best fire hazard warning ever 🤣

Now he cannot lie if someone asks him for a spare phone.

Remember the old times when you can just...remove a battery from a phone haha

My S2+ just chilling 🗿 I should try booting it sometime

THIS IS WHY BATTERIES NEED TO BE EASILY REMOVABLE AND REPLACABLE.

Just checked mine and it was swollen.... Thank you for this video

"Not being used" this phrase relieved me

That loop though "Say no to spicy pillows, because"

My experience in phone sales is similar. All the Samsung demo phones would swell and we'd have to take them off the counters . Going back to S6/S7 days

I always check on my old phone I have in my drawer. I always hold on to my last phone just incase I lose my current phone and I have a backup. However once I get a new phone, my old phone gets taken to the recycling center and the current phone becomes the backup.

When your family home has tonnes of old phones so now you have to go through them because of this very alarming suprise

Lol what was that with spicy pillows?! 🤣

The same thing happened with my old Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and J8. You don't need to panic at all. Your phone will just be fine as long as its battery doesn't get punctured or damaged. Avoid charging the battery, and take it to the nearest service center as soon as possible to remove the swollen battery. Don't attempt to do it by yourself if you don't have any experience.

I'd love to see a full video on how you properly store your phones!

"You cannot win against someone you cannot say "no" to." Barrs🔥

insane! the collection of phones he has in the dishwasher 🥺👌

It's affecting Microsoft Surface products too. My 4 year old Surface Go did. Then found 3 other friends report the same battery swelling push out the screen. Scary.

Marcus, you just saved me my life savings with this short, here's how... watched this video, checked two Samsung note 5's that I had put away in a drawer because the screen broke and the gas leaked out and the screens went blank and I never got around to getting em repaired.. Lo and behold, swollen batteries on the both of em, and one literally almost seemed like it was ready to pop.. I immediately took them out and discarded them. The cabinet was made of wood, and right above the section where these almost-about to explode phones were placed, were my government savings certificates that had my entire life savings tied up in them... The reason I hadn't noticed or seen them from all this time was, 1 the light doesn't get there and they were at the back under a couple of other phones and wires.... Keep being awesome man... and thanks for the save... !!!

“if you have a old samsung phone stored somewhere…check on it?” Oh boy, I just checked on a 15 year old samsung, and it was swollen up like a balloon. Thank you so much!

"Say no to spicy pillows becaus--" BECAUSE WHY?!

Just went and opened my drawer of old android phones cause I know I had a couple Samsung ones and yep 1 out of 3 was swollen like a balloon. Gonna get it recycled asap.Great video! Probably literally saved my house from burning down.

Samsung: Bigger battery = more battery life.

Checked my phone box after mrwhosetheboss put out his video, 2x s8+ and 1x S10+, both spicy pillows and popped the back off, the S10 had stuff on the edges, so it actually broke the glass as it expanded, all 3 have been put in a bucket of sand outside while I sort out to recycle them

.. and The “to recycle your phone” link is a google search I like it 👏

I've recently been thinking about all of the old lithium batteries tucked away in drawers and boxes. They can't all be stable forever. I really should start keeping better track of them.

I had an S7 from a bit ago and last fall I found it nice and swelled up

"Say No! to spicy pillows" Im putting that on a tshit, and printing it out and replacing my roomies pillows with samsung logos 🤣

Nice touch at the end

I had that happen to an iPhone 6 recently. It hadn't been used it months. The battery was a replacement battery

I just had to remove the battery from a mid-2009 15" MacBook Pro this month because it hadn't been used since 2017 and the battery swelled so much that it cracked the trackpad! So glad I got it out and disposed of it safely

That planned obsolescence is really getting cranked up (joke comment)***

I just saw this and checked on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Loved that phone with all the 22 sensors at that time seemed sci-fi. Well the battery was swollen :(

That drawer of phones is amazing! 😮

Thanks for an explanation finally!!!! But it was my apple phone that this exact thing happened to. Yes, I hadn't used it for a few days and came back to find it puffed up.

Side note: i think we found out why Samsung's trade in deals are so good lmao they really want you to send that phone back lmao

Note 7 flashbacks

Now, that's why I properly dreamed the charge on all the electronics I wish to put in storage. Ah yes, spicy pillows.

Props for promoting recycling ♻️ 😊

"I'll leave a link in description on how to recycle your phone" just literally a "where to recycle my old phone" google search link LMAO

Oh so it's when your not using it, you got me there for a sec cause I'm also using one of the old gen phones 😂

just checked and my galaxy s3 neo swole up like crazy man, thanks for the video

He's starting his videos with a sentence, and at the end of the final videos last sentence, the video loops and creates a coherent sentence between the first words of the video and his final words of the video, that is so smart dude. KZfaqrs copy that one trick, it's sweet.

I actually just replaced by Samsung Note 9 with a S22 plus ... because my Note ripped open like this. I thought i was the only one honestly thankful for yours and the other guys recent video.

Damn just checked on my note 8 sitting in my drawer and it’s SO swollen the back glass is just coming off!

My HYC ONE did that.. one of my fav phones from the past.

Thank you for the heads up. I have an old phone that belonged to my mom who passed away 5 years ago. It seems fine from the outside. I've been too anxious to turn it on and backup the data and photos. I should be brave and do it now before it's too late and more memories are lost.

I just checked on a samsung device i have hidden away, and just noticed this exact issue! The back cover has come off from it and the battery is swollen…

You should also have a pinned comment with the same resources you put in the description, it’s a lot easier to access on mobile in the shorts player

This is quite unfortunate. As far as I know it happens much more with older Samsung phones and because they are pretty nice and popular phones it's quite unfortunate since it would be nice to have a collection of you're old phones to see what you're old phone used to look like and also it could become a collectors item at some point

My Samsung batteries have been swelling up ever since the s5. Back when they were removable I was going through so many with external chargers and yeah they’d swell up considerably after not too long. That was around the time people were scared of laptop batteries being on airplanes so I was always evaluating the condition of my batteries lol

My coworker uses one that’s been swollen for years. He has no fear.

This literally just happened to my S8+ last week. Was going thru some older stuff to throw out came across it and the back was damn near popping off. I have other phones from the early 2000s that are fine.

I think it depends on whether you keep charging them regularly after you stop using them. I still use an old S8 regularly and there’s no sign of swelling in it. One charge usually last 2-3 days with light use (reading ebooks/playing music/watching some KZfaq). However my sisters old A53 which she stopped using about 2 years ago and hasn’t used since, has inflated significantly and pushed the screen completely off. I had an S6 years ago and stopped using it for a while, as I’d been using the S8 instead. The battery never expanded but after being left uncharged for about 8 months or more, when I did charge it the battery would last only a couple of hours before dying. But having said that I’ve never had any issues with battery expansion on the iPhones I’ve used. The iP4 continued working fine, then gave it to a friend when I upgraded to the iP6. The iP6 worked fine until the infamous battery drain fiasco, but worked as well as ever after replacing battery. Then I changed from iP6 to my current iP12 about 18 months ago. But the ONLY reason I did that was because of the number of apps that stopped working after numerous iOS updates. Basically 60% plus of my most used apps stopped working or didn’t work like they should.

if you collect tech of any kind it's good practice to always check on your devices and to give them a bit of a charge to test and give them some juice to keep em happy.

I also have an old Samsung Galaxy S7 thankyfully it hasn't swollen, but I still regularly use it a bit, so maybe that's why it's still fine.

My S6 also did that after sitting in a drawer for a few years.😊

Swelling batteries aren't actually dangerous in most cases. They are if they are swelling up quickly, but if it is slowly over time, it is part of the designed-in safety.

i want to keep my s9+ around if i ever need it since it still works so well. i have a s23u now but still want a backup

I saw mrwhostheboss do a video on this, I think it’s great to tell more people.

This is a great short. Good to see you adapting

Love You Sir Ji❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Love You SAMSUNG❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘

Samsung tries not making a nuclear weapon challenge (impossible)

We deployed dozens of iPad Airs and Pros as kiosks at my previous employer. Every single one lost the wifi card right before the battery began swelling. They went full spicy pillow right after warranty like clockwork. If you notice your iPad can't see any networks and is hotter than normal, please check if the case is starting to form a gap! This became a massive fire hazard for us. The joke with local techs maintaining these was that the iPads were "going full Samsung" and eventually we had to say they were going full Apple; we had more iPads blow up in our system than the entire Samsung tab fiasco reported in the news.

I've opened plenty of iPhones with swollen batteries they just don't tend to be able to break out of the phone only see a couple do that a year.

I had a box of old gadgets my family doesn’t use anymore. I had 2 Samsung S7’s and a Samsung S8 that had swollen batteries. I had some other branded phones in there too, but they’re fine.

Yes so true. Happened to my S6 sitting on the cabinet.

This is so true. My sister has a tab 4 that she doesn’t use.. it’s swollen like a potato

Y’all got phones and don’t use em 😢😢😢 am right here

thats wierd that only tech youtuber phones are failing i 'd still have my s6 s8 note 10 plus in good shape

Think you for saving my note 4 , it was at the beginning , removed the battery right away

We had a Samsung tablet explode in my brothers room,… thankfully we were home and we threw it out the window. it landed on the cement in our driveway and we now have a burn stain on our carpet. The thought that our house could’ve burned down that day is terrifying…

Thank you for covering this too.

I found one of my old Samsung smartphones sitting forgotten in a closet like this just a few weeks ago and had to dispose of it.

Also happens if you try to keep your phone over 80% charge. The heat from charging causes degradation too and could cause spicy pillows. Also unseen damage from drops to the battery (back of the phone, even in a case) as well could up the susceptibility of the battery being a spicy pillow. Yep I had to take a Motorola in for a battery replacement, but a broken (probably shorted) usb port stopped me from making the spicy pillow worse. (That usb port is also getting replaced. The fresh battery exposed the issue with the charge port) lol The screen survived longer than the battery/charging port on all of the Motorolas I used/am using. To clarify about dropping the phone on its back (where the battery compartment is), nothing in the phone is causing damage, I'm talking about the shock of the drops because that's still battery trauma. I feel like those cases that claim to be shock proof aren't really shockproof, more like shock resistant, but they advertise them as shockproof. I believe the phone within the case can take a certain amount of drops before the shock resistance stops working. I kind of wonder the type of shock those cases were designed to take, especially if they have screen protecting lips/phalanges.

Me sitting right next to my S7 rn 😳

It’s also with newer ones. They just usually don’t lay around unused that much…

I have an old S6 that has been in a drawer for years now. Just checked and it was fine and powered up for a moment with 1% battery life left, as I hadn’t charged or used this in forever. I have it on a wireless charger now but will be looking at disposing of it. My S10+ is also fine. Thank you for the warning ❤

hey, the first short i didn't hate. a PSA that had all the information you might need to know about, and moves on. nice work

I'm glad he mentioned recycling, there are like 0 good reasons to keep storing your old phones when you have no plan to use them.

I remember the Samsung explosive memes lol

I had that issue with a Galaxy S12 while it was my active phone but that was like 5+ years ago.

samsung is back with a blast💥

Perfect loop doesn't exi .... Wait, what?

Whoa! That's crazy. My old S3 isn't having those swelling issues so it must be phones from a certain time on.

That’s crazy they still haven’t fixed that yet😂

That actually happened to me with an old Nokia from around 2010 approximately 2016 after it was just lying around for 2 years minimum. It's actually a "life hack" to regularly (maybe every 3-6 months) pull out the old devices you want to keep for one reason or another, then discharge and charge them again to 50-70%.

Happened to me too. So weird this came out now, just a week ago I dug up some old s9s in storage and they were swollen

can probably happen to all old batteries not being charged now and then but only my old samsung phones have problems with spicy pillows.

I have had a lot of old samsung phones in my house. They're all 100% till today. Even with 7+ years of usage.

I work in batteries and the reasons they inflate is due to reactions that happen at high voltages with the electrolyte. Samsung either uses a different electrolyte that's more prone to gassing, or do not have an additive that prevents gassing

checked an old s7 and looks fine... maybe because it was used regularly for ages first..? no idea.. thanks for the update.. I just got a new Samsung after all the good reviews

Not to second guess you, but I used to repair phones, and have seen MANY MANY iPhones with inflated batteries. Also laptops. The real issue here is that they stopped making removable batteris. This almost never happened with removable batteries and even when it did replacing it was easy and took 5 seconds with no risk or danger. This push for internal batteries , that seems to have started from iPhones and now nearly every manufacturer has followed suit has created this problem

have a s7 since 2010 change battery 4 yrs ago. works great.

This is actually how I ended up switching brands. My S7 battery some years ago swelled up to the point that the back glass started to pop off.

lol watching from a beat up phone and he's got a whole drawer of them chilling 😭😆

Interestingly, i have one of samsungs hybrid tablets from a few years ago and it's battery started sweeling too

We had this happen on HP laptops 2 years ago on actively used devices. It would break open the bottom of the case of the laptop.

I just checked my S10e that's been in my cupboard for a year and the battery is in fact swollen 🤯
