I am now an honorable member of Samsung back panel failure club.

How it happened
Today, in morning, Genshin Impact released version 5.0.

Genshin Impact ver 5.0


I was updating the game. In the meantime I was doing some other work. The phone was kept on the desk. Without the back cover. I anticipated that the device may get a little warm which usually happens when you play game for few 10-20 minutes. 

But after the downloading was done, I opened the game then I think during installation of update, the device got HOT.

I think during this time...

High Temperature was recorded during the incident 


Bas the end. 🫡

I pulled an ice cube from refrigerator and placed in the phone to cool it.
It got cooled but I think it was too late. The excess heat and excellent cooling by the side aluminium frame melted the glue which helds the back panel of the phone.

Now I have gap on either side of back panel.

It goes IN when pushed and come OUT by default like a dent or button.

Now I'll have to update my S21FE review posthttps://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S/My-S21FE-Exynos-Review/td-p/15162741?src=ShareByUserCM Some known flaws as now I have the Back panel coming OFF issue


For now, it's just a gap.... just imagine if I did not placed ice cubes even after the heating for the whole time, the whole panel might have peeled off.

Yeah ... But I think they can fix it by reappling glue and pressing the device with the appropriate instruments.

Their appropriate instrument is 10-15 rubber bands.

Yes I can literally see that black jelly like glue. Some dust also accumulated due to stickiness.
