Question Phone camera and charging

[Fred V1]

I'm using a charger as usual with my new phone and things went on as usual, often I don't use it while charging. Then suddenly, the charging is unusually slow, even though I removed lint and obstructing material in the port. Then the metallic ring around my camera somehow sent a sharp electrical shock when my finger slips on the camera lens, like touching hot iron or a burning stove.

At first, I thought it had something to do with the charger model, but when I try other fast chargers it gives the same result. The camera ring still shocked my finger. It's like the what I think is most of the charged power somehow leaked out of the phone, seeping into the camera ring, instead of the battery where it should be, hence the sluggish charging. Is it concerning?

Return the phone for replacement. No phone should do that no matter the charger. Something inside is shorting out.
Do it now, this could be a fire hazard.

It may be due to the outlet not being sufficiently grounded. I think it's the same phenomenon that can lead to the metal case of a laptop feel like it's "fuzzy" or vibrating when charging via an ungrounded outlet, explained here: https://miapple.me/fix-macbook-micro-vibrations-while-charging-due-to-insufficient-grounding/

Difference being most laptops are three prong plugs. Chargers 2. So if you were shorting in the plug fuses should pop. According to my son who is an electrician.

Hmm, good point. Maybe both chargers are faulty? @Fred V1 , are these chargers from well-known manufacturers, or are they off-brand chargers from Amazon or elsewhere?

It's the part about the camera ring and metal frame that gets me, also the slow charging. Sounds like internal short on device itself . Even if the charger was faulty, why would it energise metal parts on the phone?
Electricity is like water, it always wants to be at it's lowest energy state. Quantum physics and zero point energy really if you think about it.
