I have a feeling that putting two electronic devices in the same pocket will kinda damage them. I have an iphone and a samsung galaxy, is it ok if i put them both in the same pocket? Im pretty sure i read somewhere that putting two electronics next to each other is not good.....
Got a tip for us?

Damaging the phones as in scratches? Or something worse than that, like signal issues etc?
Unless you fell on them, yes as in scratches. But I know some people do not worry about that.
No problem in keeping 2 devices together. Only, you may end up scratching one of the devices, if they are kept together. Keep away credit cards.
There are days I wish there was NO PHONE in my pocket. I can only imagine living a life carrying around two. With Robo Killer, I would be carrying around two silent phones. Stupid

When I was dating my wife I lived 30 minutes away from her in a small town. This was back in the mid-90s when cell phones were rare and expensive (along with the plans). She called me at home once to come pick her up at a specific spot while she was out. She gave me the wrong location.
30 minute drive to find out the location did not exist. 30 minute drive back home to wait for her to call. 20 minutes waiting. 30 minute drive back down to the right location.
If both of us had only had cellphones. 1 hour and 50 minutes not wasted, including the gas. I'll keep my cellphone handy, if I don't want to be bothered by it it's a simple matter of ignoring it.
Nah probably not a good idea
I’ve seen tech reviewers point out scratches on the top right of the iPhone’s screen, only to come to realize they put two phones in the same pocket with the other phones camera bump scratching the crap out of their screen

Yea, absolutely thinking about that harder-than-glass camera lens. I'd be worried.
Considering that most pockets have limited space for ONE phone, if you're putting two into one pocket why you you not place the phones screen to screen?
Two flat smooth surfaces against each other to maximize the space seems more logical to me. That's how I do it when I have two phones in one pocket anyway.
