A number of Samsung Galaxy S4 battery issues have surfaced, with reports stating that up to 30 per cent of S4 owners have reported problems with their phone’s staying power.
Citing a “trusted source working at an operator,” German site MobiFlip has claimed that Samsung Galaxy S4 battery issues are plaguing users of the phone. It has been suggested that heavily depleted performances and swollen batteries are being frequently reported by S4 owners.
“A trusted contact who is sitting right at the source with a German provider confirms that the current confirmations are due to a faulty battery with the Galaxy S4,” the German reports have stated.

We have contacted Samsung for their response to the reported Samsung Galaxy S4 battery issues and will update you with their response as soon as we hear back.
