Is the Galaxy S3 charging port badly designed and has this been fixed in some never models?

A

AC Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 that used to function quite well, but very lately the charging port lost contact internally and the phone wouldn't charge. I got this fixed (it had the charging port replaced), but now I'm starting to notice the same thing happening again.

Is the Galaxy S3 charging port badly designed so that it bends very easily (the charger cable seems to be bending downwards so the port seems to "lift off" whatever its soldered to)? Or could the problem be with a too heavy charging cable (it's a bit bigger and heavier than the usual ones)? Or maybe I'm plugging and pulling and charging the phone carelessly so that the port gets too much strain?

Also, have some never Galaxy models fixed this so that the charging port is more rigid?
