It does happen, though, considering the news of a Samsung SmartThings app update that bricked older Galaxy smartphones like the  Galaxy S10, Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy M51, and a few A-series devices. What exactly does a “bricked” phone mean, what causes it, and is there a way to fix it? Let’s take a look.
