Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Electrical/thermal safety (design integrity) and Manufacturing contamination or counterfeit units on the Samsung and not on the .
  • We flag Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway / fire risk, Adhesive and epoxy leaching / offgassing, Plastic housing degradation and microplastic release and Waterproof sealant PFAS leaching into water contact on the and not on the Samsung.
  • The Samsung is plastic housing, internal circuits, ceramic capacitors where the is Plastic housing, Li-ion battery, solar panel with adhesive/epoxy, likely waterproof sealant, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
  • We are less certain about the grade, at 42% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
