Your Samsung Galaxy’s frame color coating may peel off if misused. Samsung recently warned users not to use non-genuine fast chargers or battery massagers. It may lead to a color peel-off problem on your Galaxy smartphone.
Samsung says Galaxy device’s frame color coating may peel off if you use it during charging with a non-genuine fast charger. The same concern could occur when you use a low-frequency electric massager that takes power from your phone’s battery.
Both situations could cause the Galaxy phone’s exterior frame color to peel off. The company noted that it’s not a Galaxy-limited problem. It occurs due to the current factors between the device and the human body under certain charging and usage.
It has been confirmed that the phenomenon of external damage (metal corrosion, paint peeling) occurring when using a Galaxy device while charging may occur due to a large amount of leakage current generated by some non-genuine fast chargers.
If you hold or touch the product for a long time in this situation, corrosion (peeling) may occur on the metal surface. In case you have such an issue on your Galaxy, check whether the charger you are currently using is non-genuine.
The conditions under which this phenomenon may occur are as follows:
- Powering mobile devices by connecting a non-genuine fast charger
- Do not hold the smartphone with a body part such as your hand while charging.
Electric Massager
Samsung suggests not to connect the low-frequency massager with your Galaxy. It may end up bringing metal corrosion or paint peeling after holding or using the Galaxy device for a long time with a low-frequency (EMS) massager.
The conditions under which this phenomenon may occur are as follows:
- Supplying power to a “contact external device that causes current to flow through the human body” using a smartphone
- Do not hold the device with a body part such as your hand.

![Samsung Paris Olympic 2024](https://www.sammyfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/samsung-brand-img.jpg)
Samsung is under threat from triple fronts including OLED, strikes, and espionage. China’s BOE could surpass Samsung D by 2028, Indian workers are on strike at production fab demanding a wage increase, and an ex-exec arrested in an espionage case.
BOE’s OLED ambitions: Threat to Samsung’s dominance
By 2028, Chinese display maker BOE could surpass Samsung Display due to its 8.6-generation IT OLED production line (B16). China’s share of global display production capacity is expected to rise from 68% in 2023 to 74% in 2028.
Samsung’s Indian operations hit by strikes
Samsung workers of the Sriperumbudur, Chennai plant are demanding higher wages through their labor union. It is being reported that the union refused to show up for work after negotiations with the management hit a snag.
Ex-Samsung exec arrested in massive espionage case
An ex-Samsung executive has been arrested, Seoul Metropolitan Police announced yesterday. The executive is arrested alongside his colleague for allegedly stealing semiconductor technology to establish a company in China.
A police official stated, “This case has shaken the foundation of economic security by attempting to produce semiconductors with domestic technology through direct collaboration between a former executive of a domestic semiconductor company and a local Chinese government, leading to a potential weakening of national competitiveness.”

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could be ‘featherlight’ iPhone 16 Pro Max killer
![One UI 7.1](https://www.sammyfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/galaxy-s25-ultra-design-leak-ice-img.jpg)
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could be 8 grams lighter than the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. The next Galaxy S Ultra could launch in January next year. However, the rumors about the next flagship are intensifying after yesterday’s Apple Event.
According to Ice Universe, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra would weigh 219 grams. It’s a sharp reduction of approximately 7-8 grams than the S24 Ultra. Notably, Apple’s recently launched iPhone 16 Pro Max weighs 227 grams.
In smartphones, the reduction of even a single gram requires a lot of engineering. Despite bringing a 5000mAh battery, the S25 Ultra is lightweight. It aligns with Samsung’s commitment to continuously improve the Galaxy experience.
Galaxy S Ultra weight over the years:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: 232 grams
- Galaxy S23 Ultra: 233 grams
- Galaxy S22 Ultra: 228 grams
- Galaxy S21 Ultra: 227 grams
The S25 Ultra is said to ditch angular frame design as well as sharp corners. The frame appearance is said to be inspired by the Galaxy Note 7. The S Pen slot will also be there, still bringing a weight reduction worth welcoming.
Since the battery capacity is the same, efficiency might improve with the new chipset. Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will power the S25 series. It uses a custom Oryon CPU, which brings a significant boost to performance and efficiency.
Well, we suggest you take this information as a pinch of salt. Leaked inputs often face modifications during development and testing. Rumor of 50MP 3x Telephoto denied by the same source within a short period of reveal.
