Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 exploded despite all durability improvements
Samsung is not surprising when it comes to its smartphone batteries which include an unsolicited fireworks display. However, most of the Galaxy smartphones were introduced after the Galaxy Note 7 was very free from battery-related errors.
Recently, we have heard that the overnight case of the Samsung smartphone burning flames due to hand handling. This time, unfortunately, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 user had his own phablet fire, though it did not happen automatically.

Twitter user Chad Christian posted a video about the unfortunate smoke bill of the Galaxy Z Fold 3. He further clarified that the problem was not the phone itself and that the battery could cause damage after the bike crashed. Apparently, the phone had been on hold for a week before the battery went off, just as he was about to send the phone to Samsung.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 blew up on me when I was getting ready to box it up. Had to throw it in the garage. Definitely had some integrity damage. Can you imagine if it did this in shipping đ pic.twitter.com/OnPHfZmKod

Now, itâs common for a smartphone to take a fall or two off. Most OEMs strongly recommend testing their devices to make sure they survive the fall. The problem here is that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is not your various smartphone. The total number of moving parts in the equation makes it much weaker than the compatible Galaxy, despite all the robust improvements made by Samsung to enter.

Samsung could pack the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Z Flip 7 with Exynos processors. The company could launch its first affordable foldable phone next year. The device could get a different camera and processor from the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Leaker Jukanlosreve revealed that Samsung could use the Exynos 2400e in the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The former Exynos variant powers the Galaxy S24 FE, while the Exynos 2500 is an upcoming product.
Samsung previously intended to use Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. However, the chip has a major performance difference from its Snapdragon counterpart. This led the company to solely rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the S25 series.
Exynos 2500 is being manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s 3nm process node. The yield rate is quite low (around 20%), which is far from the production threshold. However, Samsung chose the path to produce the chip at such a low yield rate.
Exynos 2400 has proven to be a decent chip with no frustrating flaws. The Exynos 2400e could be used in the Z Flip FE. The “e” model could be made using IPoP (Integrated Package on Package) tech, which is cheaper than the standard method.
Recently, a Korean media outlet reported that Samsung Foundry has started mass production of a 3nm Exynos 2500 chip. It was initially intended to be used in the S25 and S25 Plus, but issues pushed it towards the second-half debut in the Z Flip 7.
New York became the first US state to bring retail consumer rebates for appliances under the Inflation Reduction Act. Applauding the move, Samsung launched a huge energy-saving opportunity for the residents of New York.
Samsung started offering up-front discounts to consumers statewide through New York’s IRA HEAR program. Consumers can now access IRAâs Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program.
IRA HEAR rebate program advantages
- Save up to $840 on Samsungâs innovative ENERGY STAR products, including laundry appliances like heat pump dryers and all-in-one combo washers + heat pump dryers.

Samsung said this is just the beginning of its rebates journey in New York. The company looks forward to working with partners to expand these retail rebates to more products and in more states across the United States.
Pay attention, the IRA provides rebates and tax credits to households across America. New York is leading the way in providing direct retail point-of-sale appliance rebates, supporting an affordable clean energy transition.
