Device overheating situations and solutions

When the device heats up while charging the battery

While charging, the device and the charger may become hot. During wireless charging or fast

charging, the device may feel hotter to the touch. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or

performance and is in the device’s normal range of operation. If the battery becomes too hot,

the charger may stop charging.

Do the following when the device heats up:

•

Disconnect the charger from the device and close any running apps. Wait for the

device to cool down and then begin charging the device again.

•

If the lower part of the device overheats, it could be because the connected USB

cable is damaged. Replace the damaged USB cable with a new Samsung-approved

one.

•

When using a wireless charger, do not place foreign materials, such as metal objects,

magnets, and magnetic stripe cards, between the device and the wireless charger.

The wireless charging or fast charging feature is only available on supported models.
