Hi,

I’ll start by saying that i absolutely love this phone, but I’m frustrated of the battery life that it makes me look into buying a newer phone, which is money i don’t really want to spend right now, and other than the battery i see no reason to upgrade to be honest.

I am in the annoying situation where the screen time is not horribly low, but it is also not quite enough, I’m getting around 3.5-4 hours on average.

I’ve been looking for a battery replacement (for self-repair) for ages but couldn’t find a fresh one (2021 onwards), or one that isn’t a knockoff. I don’t necessarily need an original Samsung battery, it can be a 3rd party, but I’ve heard that some people did battery replacement, even officially at Samsung’s and the replacement battery was 70-80% health, which is ok for someone whose battery is totally dead, but for my situation it will not help a lot since my battery is still useable.

I appreciate any comment, help and insights,

Thank you

    is your phone exynos or snapdragon? bc exynos dont have good battery life to begin with. exynos 990 is… well bad to the core. so replacing battery yeah, it will improve but prolly not as much as you hope. snapdragon version tho, yeah go for it. its a still good phone, i owned it for good 1.5 years
