@TrulyNintendoContent by matt depends many factors could affect the battery. All phones can become swollen just samsung is going cheap with their battery so I recommend not storing above or below room temperature. Or just don't get samsung for the past decades samsung has bad reputation for battery's like their explosive battery and battery that couldn't even store electricity.

[@wisico640]

They didn't go cheap, seams like they freaked out on the note 7, put a bunch of additionnal security layers (they blow out, but don't blow up anymore, even when stabbed) but one or some of those are making this blow out happen sadly :/

[@AndrewTateTopG1]

It happened to my s8 too, I replaced the battery

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@TrulyNintendoContent by matt 2 months isn't very long. I always keep 3 phones. My daily, my most recent daily as a backup and another phone on WiFi to control things in the house when my main phone is charging so it's charging down every 3 days or so. Just recycle your old phones you don't use.

[@NF30]

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

@MKBHD please make a video on electronic waste and recycling. The general public is insanely ignorant/uninformed on how to. You have a superb platform and an ability to communicate across many demographics. Thank you for following your passion!

[@ricardosmith2060]

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.

[@robertcarolinar]

Same!

[@GameWorldRS]

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

[@PvtAnonymous]

makes it double the fun since they use the strongest battery adhesive of all manufacturers, with no pull tabs either. I work in phone repair btw.

[@ravindavinthescandinavian4998]

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 KZbin). 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.

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

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 parents won't buy me a server so, I turned my uncle's old Samsung A50 phone that became my old phone into my server and data center!!! To be honest, my server can hold about 1000 requests in 10 seconds! Samsung phones are actually very powerful but, has a lot of apps pre-installed. I disabled all those apps and now only the needed ones run! So, this is the Power 💪 of OLD Samsung phones!

[@PinkAgaricus]

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.

Can you do a video on recycling? Like in depth. I once dropped an iPhone X that was immediately run over by a semi and it folded in half perfectly down the middle length wise like a taco. I eventually threw it away because NO ONE would take it. I tried for years and couldn’t find anything about what to do to dispose of it. Taco Phone still bothers me.
