Last month, YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss found that among more than 600 smartphones in his collection the Galaxy Note 8’s battery had swelled to a dangerous level and cracked the back. Later on, he found that the battery of Galaxy S6 and S10 series phones had also bulged.

TheVerge also talked to Arthur Shi, senior technical writer at iFixit about the smartphone’s battery swelling problem. Shi said that the swelling itself is not inherently dangerous, meanwhile, it’s a safety mechanism to contain the volatile gasses.
iFixit’s technical writer also pointed out that electronic devices’ battery swell mildly every time you charge them and manufacturers have built specific tolerances into the battery wells to account for that. Technically, this point makes sense, but we still recommend readers visit an authorized service center if found swelled battery.
Shi said that iFixit also has a lot of phones with bulging batteries, including Samsung and Apple. When asked why the battery swelling problem is happening in Samsung devices higher than in other companies, Shi said it would take a lot of work to figure out.

In particular, the upcoming Galaxy earbuds are listed with the model number EB-BR630ABY on TUV and BIS. Each earbud of the Galaxy Buds 2 features a 58mAh battery and Samsung might ship the Buds 3, at least, with the same battery capacity.

Samsung launched a new 50W charging adapter (EP-T5020) with dual ports. The product is available in select European countries and we hope the company will soon bring it to more markets. As there’s no phone capable of charging over 45W speed, the 50W adapter is still worth buying.
The New Samsung 50W adapter brings dual ports, allowing users to charge two Galaxy phones at 25W simultaneously. When both ports are used, the adapter will distribute 25W each, making it easier to get two Galaxy devices charged at the same time.
To get 50W speed (USD PD PPS protocol), you need to use the first port, usable to charge Galaxy Book laptops. For additional convenience, the secondary port is capped at 25W charging speed. This means you are not required to charge two devices to get 25W output.
Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24 Plus, S23 Ultra, S23 Plus, and M55 5G are some Samsung devices that support 45W fast charging. Most Galaxy phones and tablets have 25W charging support, which is not much less than Samsung’s 45W brick.
While the availability is limited, the 50W brick can be owned for €69.90. Meanwhile, Samsung also sells 65W triple-port EP-T6530, which you can buy for Galaxy Book laptops. Future Galaxy flagships should bring even more faster charging tech, it’s a long-standing demand.
