Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus Overheating Incident

Samsung, a leading brand in the smartphone market, has been vigilant in preventing overheating issues that could cause phones to catch fire. Recently, the company launched its latest Galaxy S25 series, including three models: Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. These models were designed to be quite thin.

However, a recent incident has raised new safety concerns regarding the flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Plus. According to a report, the phone overheated while a user was holding it and caught fire. The Galaxy S25+ is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and features a larger vapor chamber for better heat management, as well as a 4,900mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging.

The incident was reported by a Galaxy S25+ user, who shared their experience and stated, "I was holding the S25+ in my hand and it started to overheat and make a loud noise, so I threw it on the floor and it started to smoke. Samsung Service Center said that the cause is unknown after investigation." Notably, the incident occurred while the phone was not charging, ruling out a charging-related malfunction.

An image of the damaged Galaxy S25 Plus was shared on the Samsung Community forum, showing the extent of the damage. The exact reason behind the Galaxy S25 Plus’ overheating and catching fire remains unknown, even after an investigation by Samsung’s Service Center. However, the company has agreed to refund the damage to the user.

It is essential to note that Samsung has taken steps to ensure the safety of its devices, but this incident raises concerns about the potential risks associated with smartphone use. As the investigation into this incident continues, users are advised to be cautious when using their devices and to follow proper safety guidelines to minimize the risk of overheating and other safety issues.
