              AnonD-131754, 11 Jun 2019Makes sense. But, temperature never rised before, why now? Perhaps they learned something from the note 7 and did not want any hint of a repeat, so they were perhaps being overly cautious. I remember reading an article that the R&D guy at Samsung told CNET that the battery in the S8 would degrade far less over a 2 year period than an S7 for example.

                        This mail is in regard to your Samsung handset S8.

                        We would like to inform you that; this is not an issue with the device, this is the inbuilt feature of the handset, during

                        *Wireless charging or fast charging, the device may feel hotter and this is normal range of operation which does not affect the device’s lifespan/ performance.

                        If the battery temperature goes beyond specified limit, the charger may stop charging the device and start charging again once temperature goes down upto the normal temperature (e.g. 36ºC) and this is only a precautionary action for customer safety. This mode is called as*“Swelling Prevention Mode”.

                        Swelling prevention mode is triggered due to the high temperature. If the phone temperature rises beyond certain limit, the maximum charging voltage is limited to 4.15V which is equivalent to 70~80% (±*5%) of battery level. This operation is disabled and starts charging again once temperature goes down up to the normal temperature (e.g. 36ºC)

                              Saleh , 08 Jun 2019Apple 6s plus 128GB / Galaxy S8 32 GB S8 is not 32 GB, but 64 GB...
                              S9 is also 64 GB, and S10 is 128 GB
                              S11 hopefully will be 256 GB, so no need for memory card anymore.
