Samsung Galaxy S10 5G allegedly involved in fatal battery failure

[Redaktion]

A Reddit post describes an incident in which a user's phone, an "S10 5G", exhibited extreme overheating. When the owner in question examined this device, it was apparently non-functional and emitted a strong smell of chemicals. This worrying claim suggests that the most expensive variant of the Galaxy S10 series may have battery integrity issues.

Hey at least it didn't blow up. Overheating happens to phones randomly all the time.

I can vouch for this issue.
My S10 5G has died just under 3 weeks since I got it.
Currently going through the process of getting a new phone through Samsung and my carrier service.
