Thank you for this forum.
I had the A51 (5G version) back in 2020 til 2022.
I unfortunately dropped it one too many times and it stopped functioning.
Fast forward, I'm annoyed that headphone jacks are being removed from phones and I wanted to go back to an AMOLED screen after using an LCD screen samsung phone for a while. I recently purchased a "renewed" version on Amazon.ca. (the 4G version this time, maybe shouldn't have but that's what I got...) Everything appears to work fine, and appears to be the phone I used to really enjoy. But! the battery drains really fast even with minimal app usage!
Now, I'm wondering if it would be worth it to see if purchasing a new battery might solve the issue. As I understand it has a plastic backing and this can be done. Is there any potential issue I could run into with opening it up, or would I be wasting my time?
FIY it does not have a charging issue. It charges very quickly.
This is the phone I am stuck with so any advice is appreciated.
