In many cases, users have complained that the phablet gets very hot during calls. For its part, Samsung has acknowledged the complaints and has said that it's investigating the matter. The company is, however, assuring users that the issue "does not pose a safety concern.”

"There have been a few reports about the battery charging levels and we would like to reassure everyone that the issue does not pose a safety concern," the tech giant said. "In normal conditions, all smartphones may experience temperature fluctuations."
The South Korean firm also said that it's focusing on each case separately and trying to get it resolved through its customer service and warranty process.
