A Samsung Galaxy S6 owner bought their new flagship device, only to find something un-expected.

 

When the customer opened the box, the battery had expanded praising the back panel off the phone and damaging the screen.

The customer managed to get a replacement device and this is thought not to be a problem that could affect other S6 devices.

 

My thoughts:

Its good that the customer managed to get a replacement, but it is weird that this happened on a brand new phone.

I was thinking maybe the lithium battery could have come into contact with water at the factory, however unlikely that is or if was exposed to high temperatures

that could have potentially been produced by the octa-core processor.

Either way, its still not good that this has happened.

 

Your thoughts, please leave them down below!

Repost, not a problem, happens all the time to all phones.

Maybe since the back is not removable, the back may have put to much pressure on the battery.

Or he overclocked his phone (lol) my friend did and his phone melted

I think that might be the answer to the problem with it.

it shouldnt be a problem between the times the box gets closed(factory) and it get opened by the consumer.

 

I must say however, this might be unique cause but not less interesting for that matter.
