Wait. You people can't remove the batteries from your phone? 🤨 My phone is only 2 years old and I can take off the back and remove mine whenever I want. The fuck kind of shit companies are you buying from?
There are only few devices with an easy to replace battery and I get some cynical vibes from your comment so you are probably aware. There are even less devices in the price class between 200 - 300€, a lot of people can't afford the Fairphone. Hopefully the EU will deal with that shit soon.
I don't even know if I can, my phone is a literal tank weighing half a kilo. It has some weird bezels you can screw out but I never tried to see if they reveal the massive battery
It is probably fake, but if my wife wanted to check the call history and suddenly the phone gets broken, she would get more suspicious than a just “It’s not powering on anymore”
Lol for real, if you can open the phone to put the note in, you could easily just factory reset it and smash or zap a few things before shipping it, or like be a real fucking human being and be honest with your wife
It’s clearly fake because that’s not how the display comes off the device when you do this repair. You lift it from the top and keep the display cables connected, and only disconnect the battery cables.
