    The portable charger which you use is more dangerous than a spare battery. It heats up more when it charges a phone.

    Safety first and comfort.
    It is safer and more comfortable to bring a spare battery than a heavy dangerous portable charger.

      Why would I buy third party batteries?
      What do you think of me, I cannot afford original Samsung batteries?

      FYI I bought only original spare batteries for my S5 and Note 3 from an authorized store and never did those batteries get heat up inside my bag!

It happened inside the pocket. That woman burned her thigh area because of that. Luckily, there are no any news from exploding or burned HTC devices so far. May be that's because of their superior built quality. Of course, my HTC M8 is heating but when it's starting to get cold, it's getting cold much faster than plastic phones. Anyway, I am not going to discuss about exploded phones anymore.

        BTW, Android OEMs should come up with better cooling tech now. I think Z2 already has a cooling tech, still my colleagues complaining it's overheating. Actually, Z2 overheating much more than my M8. If they unable to do it, we will face a huge trouble in future.

              I "upgraded" to an S5 from an S3. I was tired of the short battery life of the 3. I have had the 5 for about a week and I would take my dead battery back in a heartbeat. The camera on the 5 sucks! There is a constant lag. My phone is soooo slow. Plus, it is constantly kicking me out of applications. I'm taking it back on Monday. Totally disappointed.

                            Well I've been using S4 for past 3 months & haven't faced any such issue like over heating,yeah phones do get warm if used for hours but that's normal also please do keep in mind,never use your phone while charging (just unplug it if you wanna use) & never keep your phone under blanket/pillow, it might turn out to be dangerous.
                            Keep safe & enjoy your gadget.

A battery inside the pocket will not heat up unless the positive and negative terminals got shorted due to accidental contact with metals like keys.

He told me how easy to use a spare battery. But 90% of the third party batteries available on the market are cheap ones. It doesn't matter if you are using an original manufacturer's battery.

                                  Not only under the pillow, this could happen even in the pocket. Most boys today wear tight jeans.
