Industry professionals have also provided expert explanations regarding the 'eMMC scandal.' The situation where the cellphone's built-in storage eMMC chip (embedded MultiMediaCard, referred to as 'eMMC' in some business slang) becomes unusable due to sudden power loss is called the 'eMMC scandal.' This sudden power loss is caused when users remove the battery after the phone crashes. Currently, there is no effective way to prevent the 'eMMC scandal'; the only method is to wait at least 2 minutes (120 seconds) after a phone crash before removing the battery and restarting. Otherwise, similar to unplugging a USB drive that is being read or written, it may cause permanent damage to the eMMC chip. (Some also suggest shutting down the phone daily, removing the battery, reinserting it, then starting the phone, or using universal chargers to charge the battery whenever possible).
Currently, phones suspected of experiencing the eMMC scandal include: Samsung S3 (Note 2), Samsung i9300, ZTE U930, ZTE U970.
Of course, some netizens claim that the problem only occurs in a few cases, or that it may be a fabricated story to earn high repair fees.
As for me, I don't know whether it's true or false. Honestly, it could be a publicity stunt if true, and if false, it might be a cover-up by Samsung and ZTE.
