Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has better overvoltage protection than iPhone 8, according to a test done in the past few days with a device specially designed to test this. In the video below you will see a special device that can completely or partially destroy any electronic product by simply connecting to it using a USB port, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2 are protected, unlike the iPhone 8.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2 withstand this test without problems, the phones not being affected by overvoltage, while the iPhone 8 remains without the ability to charge. The iPhone 8 freezes completely when the device is connected to it, and the Lightning port refuses to transmit current to the battery, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2 work without problems and charge, a sign that they are better protected.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 – better surge protection than iPhone 8
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has more attention from Samsung than the iPhone 8 from Apple regarding protection for charging with non-original chargers. Basically, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 totally refuses to take the current when the voltage is too high, while the iPhone 8 remains without the Lightning port and requires a complete change to work, and this is a problem for customers.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is better protected because Samsung knows the risks of charging with counterfeit chargers, as phones can explode. The Apple company doesn't really care, so the iPhone 8 doesn't benefit from as good protection as the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, so all we have to do is be very careful with what we charge our mobile phones in order not to risk their total destruction.
