abigfanoftechs, 14 Jan 2021I see.That person is making nonsense sound like a big deal or something. You brought the most straightforward solution and it wasn't enough. I have a old Note4 and ain't fussing of having it plugged in despite having the original 6 year old battery inside🤷♂️

or.... we can just stop buying a new smartphone each year, or maybe all smartphone makers should make smartphone works like a laptop which can be updated as long as we like. the 10 years old laptop is more usable than 5 years old smartphone these day

Mine was not total emmc fail but the thing ran slow and corrupted photos in its internal storage without warning. Yours maybe even rarer being a neo model.

abigfanoftechs, 12 Jan 2021Just power it directly with the USB cable/adapter? That's not gonna work unless the phone has the same hw feature present in the last rugged samsung Tab with ip68+removable battery. Which enables it to draw power from AC and bypass the need for a battery.

Samsung really need to convince their customers to upcycle their products since their purchases don't last under a year of useful updates.

See video part 2 minutes and 22 seconds .No they take the front camera of some phones in their product adverts they done it with the note 10 and 20 ultra in a advert for another samsung product trust me they would not show off the under display camera briefly in a video like this there would be a whole event for a new line of phone with this feature but good shout anyway ! 😊

The greenwashing video doesn&#... moreExactly my thoughts. Instead of "upcycling" we could simply reuse old phone if we were able to replace batteries easier.
I know personally how difficult it was to open the back of an S8 and S9. Even cracked it on one. I also had to soak the battery in isopropanol alcohol. Is this eco friendly now?
Samsung spends more money on BS ads to deceive people than making battery replacements easier...

Sorry but I don't want a chair or table from a Samsung TV Box and imagine the number who do this will be quite limited and short term.
Another marketing ploy rather than real change.
