Even the Galaxy Z Fold2 and Galaxy S20 FE, two latest Samsung products, continue to experience fatal battery problems. WHY ?

YouTuber Arun Maini, aka MrWhoseTheBoss, found that the batteries in some of his Samsung phones were swollen. Similar issues with their outdated Samsung devices were also noted by other creators including MKBHD and JerryRigEverything.

How did it begin?

Arun walked through his phone archive, a temperature-controlled shelf where he keeps all of his devices, in a recent video. He discovered swollen batteries in the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 8, and Galaxy S10 5G here. At first, he blamed the recent heatwave in the UK. However, Arun discovered that he wasn't alone when he spoke with fellow YouTuber MKBHD. Bloated batteries in their stored devices were also observed by other creators like SnazzyLabs. Arun later discovered that even more recent gadgets, such the Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy Z Fold2, have the same problem.

Samsung hasn't released an official statement despite Arun having spoken to them about the issue prior to filming the video, but given the impending PR disaster, it shouldn't be long. While several individuals in the thread displayed Vivo phones (Vivo X50 Pro) experiencing the same problems, it's more likely that the battery provider is to blame than Samsung itself.

What makes batteries well up like this?

In a nutshell, gases, however precisely which ones depend on the materials used in the batteries. However, we need to look at the chemistry that powers a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in order to comprehend where those gases come from.

When one of these batteries is being charged, lithium ions go from one end to the other; when the battery is being used to power something, they move in the reverse direction. As you continue to charge and discharge the battery over time, the electrolyte, through which the ions travel, starts to break down and release gases as a consequence. When enough of those gases accumulate, the batteries in your device may begin to visibly bulge.
