Notes:

•         Before you try the recommendations below, check if your device and the apps are up to date with the latest version.

•         If you feel the device overheating, do not use it for a while and wait for the device to cool down.

•         Make sure the device is charged, it is always recommended to use the Samsung-approved main charger that comes with the device box.

•         Using the old charger for the old device may save less energy than charging to the new device. It may not charge or take longer to charge.

•         Note that different devices have different required charging currents and therefore must correspond to the charger charging current output.

•         The fifth generation service may consume more battery power
