Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said that he has been using a Samsung Galaxy A52 smartphone for the past two years.
According to him, he chose this smartphone because it is «one of the most widely used phones among Telegram users» and he «wanted to understand their experience in order to serve them better». However, not everything turned out well with this model, and the facts revealed by Durov can be very upsetting for Galaxy A52 owners.
In his post Pavel Durov said that the back panel of his Galaxy A52 had separated from the smartphone and posted a photo of it. According to him, the reason for this behavior was the heat in Dubai.
«My phone «was unlocked by the» Dubai heat»,” Durov wrote.
It is indeed very hot in Dubai. However, the build quality of the smartphone should be good enough to prevent it from opening in such a heat. Unfortunately, Galaxy A52 did not withstand these high temperature tests. At the same time, the photo does not show the battery swelling. After the back panel was peeled off, the device did not explode or catch fire.
Durov’s post suggests that the Galaxy A52, which was one of the best-selling smartphones, was not as good as many users thought. Now the Telegram CEO will have to switch to a new phone.
