It’s still in the works. no option to expand it yet. but there’s temporary 100GB expansion from maintenance mode for devices with Android 14, One UI 6. This is intended when sending it for repair or switching devices.

My advice is export all and save on Google Keep.

get a replacement then. Care+ has that mechanism for a 2-digit deductible fee. It should be next business day replacement.

should be fine. that’s actually the reason why phone manufacturers stopped including adapters, bricks in the box. because most of us have them, should work for all electronics and reduces plastic waste.

yes, they could’ve done a factory data reset via hard keys. that will wipe out all data. but they will need to supply your primary Google account and password when setting up.

hold volume up and power till you see Android Recovery, then choose wipe cache partition then choose repair apps should boot to home screen.

it could be because of a recent update that encountered a fatal error.

Samsung users, Android users aren’t subscribed to tribal thinking like those from Apple. They made Apple products part of of their personality, status symbols lol. People here are just more open to whatever kind of electronics that would fit their needs regardless of the brand hehe.

yeah, it starts as a black line, then flickering display, then total blank display then as you open it you’ll feel resistance as if there was something breaking inside.

The internal flex hinge was damaged.
