It is not a secret: the batteries of the devices can inflate, when they are failing. A potentially dangerous problem, since devices can set fire or even explode. Enough to endanger any close individual. However, as part of a connected ring, the proximity is safe … This is what happened to Daniel Rotar, YouTubeur known as Zoneoftech. With a Samsung Galaxy ring since January 2025, she separated on September 29 after she almost made her lose a finger.
As he said in X, the battery of his connected ring began to inflate while he was about to embark on a plane. To the point that this has become painful and that he could no longer delete it, he said, supporting photos.
Due to this swelling, Daniel Rotar could not board the plane. Worse, he had to go to the hospital, where doctors used ice to reduce swelling and “a kind of medical lubricant,” he managed to remove it from his finger without cutting it.
Defective battery
YouTubeur shared new information this Tuesday, September 30. Liberated from the hospital, he returned home. “My finger is also fine, apart from some small brands that, I am sure, they will heal in a few days,” Daniel Rotar said. He was also contacted by Samsung, who recovered the ring of his house to lead an anavil in depth. “Samsung told me that they would inform me about the survey results,” he said in X. The Korean giant confirmed to be in contact with Daniel rotate and recover the product for an analysis, to detect any systemic problem.
In his message, YouTubeur also reveals that the battery of his Galaxy ring has found problems for some time. While the company promises up to seven days of autonomy for its connected ring, yours has not spent more than a day for a day and a half for several months.
His galaxy ring was not even charged when the battery began to inflate. Therefore, it could have suffered more if it had been accused and potentially ending Burns.
As Youtubeur indicates in his publication, he is not the only one who has encountered battery problems with Samsung’s connected ring. Others also told Reddit that he had lost a lot of autonomy. Another user also saw that the drummer of his galaxy ring was inflated four months ago. “According to these publications about Reddit, Samsung offered free replacements, but they even ended up having the same problem, later,” Daniel Rotar said.
The Galaxy ring is far from the first Samsung device to have a defective battery. In 2016, the manufacturer was forced to stop the production of the Galaxy Note 7 due to a battery design defect that caused several explosions.
