Before Samsung devices and accessories are released to the public, they undergo extensive testing to ensure they meet the highest standards for safety and performance. Despite this, the use of incompatible third-party products can pose significant risks to Samsung devices, potentially leading to issues such as paint peeling and other forms of damage. One of the most common problems associated with using third-party chargers is the risk of paint peeling on Samsung devices. This issue often arises when users charge their devices with high-speed third-party chargers that are not properly grounded. The lack of proper grounding can lead to leakage currents, which can interfere with the anodisation process—a technique that gives metal surfaces a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. When this process is disrupted, it can cause the paint on these devices to peel or delaminate.
Understanding leakage currents
Leakage currents occur when a device is not properly grounded, allowing small amounts of electrical current to flow from the device to the user. This current can have a detrimental effect on the anodisation process, especially when the device is being held while charging. Over time, this can result in noticeable paint damage on Samsung phones or tablets. To avoid these issues, it is crucial to use only official Samsung chargers that are specifically designed for these devices.
The risks of using EMS massagers with Samsung devices
Another potential cause of paint peeling is the use of EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) massagers that are powered by Samsung devices. When these devices are held while using EMS massagers, leakage currents can once again interfere with the anodisation process, leading to paint damage. To prevent this, it is recommended to place the device away from the body during the use of EMS massagers to minimize contact and reduce the risk of damage.
Selecting the right charger for Samsung devices
While not all third-party chargers are harmful, the market is flooded with counterfeit and substandard chargers that can seriously damage these devices. These low-quality products often fail to meet the necessary safety standards, leading to issues like corrosion and paint peeling due to electrical leakage. A strong warning from Samsung.
