For real. Fuck samsung so hard. I can't even get an oem replacement battery for my N20 Ultra. (I bought it used in early 2021). Managed to find one (battery) that appeared new and genuine from ebay about 2 years ago, but im going to need another in the next year or so, because there's no replacement phone with a pen and a micro sd card slot beyond this one. Almost no phones with just the SD card slot.
What are you doing to it to need 2 battery replacements in four years, I have a Note20 Ultra 5G bought at release, still using the original battery. Battery health is estimated to still be over 90%
I replaced one after a couple years when I broke my screen, so figured, might as well. Then it's been a couple more years and I figure I'll need another in like a year, and new ones will keep getting harder to find. I don't plan on upgrading over the next few years.
Maybe it's time to separate phone and all in one device
And like....carry more stuff?
Got me there mate, I don't have pockets on my skin either
I've always wanted a PalmPilot
said no one ever
Edit: well at least not in the last couple decades
I'm in the same boat with the Note 10+. I'll be sad when it dies
I miss my note 10... Cherish it as long as you can.
It sucks that it's hard to find MicroSD slots, but when you can get 512 GB onboard and just dump it to a USB drive, it's basically just a matter of semantics at that point.
I go places a lot of times with sketch internet connections and have a huge digital library I keep stored on my phone. Not to mention all the pictures and videos I take (and video recordings take up quite a large chunk of space). Then you get into, ok, I can pay $400 for this phone so it has 512GB instead of 128GB. That sucks when you can buy a 1,000GB card for less than $100.
So why do I need to spend so much more money to get something that should be so ridiculously cheap?
Capitalism. Same reason most anything is expensive. Shake your fist and move along π€·ββοΈ
