How much do Samsung charge to repair a Galaxy S9 Plus?
Through Samsung, a battery replacement can cost £109. Although these prices seem gigantic for an old phone, part of the premium pricing is due to Samsung offering a doorstep repair, in which they come directly to you.
Can you change the battery in a Galaxy S9 Plus?
Yes, the battery in a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus can be replaced. Though, we strongly recommend that anyone without the proper experience in handling or replacing batteries should leave it to an expert. In the case of the S9 Plus, like most modern phones, does not have an easily detachable back case. Meaning that if you don’t know how to remove it properly, you can end up damaging the phone during the process.
Depending on why you need to replace your phone battery, you could be at risk of injury, or unintentionally instigating a fire hazard. Some faulty batteries may be broken or leaking, these chemicals are harmful to people, and can contribute to the battery burning, potentially causing a fire. Lastly, in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus specifically, due to the phone being 5 years old, a replacement battery may be more difficult to obtain as the phone itself has ceased production.
However, it is still possible to obtain, but sometimes may cost more than you’d expect. This is why the better option is to visit a phone repair specialist like imFixed.

Can you make a phone battery last longer?
Yes, there are many methods you can implement to extend the life of the battery for your phone. Here are some…- Turning your phone off when not using it for long periods of time.
- Close unneeded apps that run in the background of your phone.
- Using the phone on a lower brightness.

Refurbished phones vs older phones
Older phones are the preferred option for some people. Whether it be that an older model is all they can afford at the time, or they may not want to deal with the additional features granted by more recent models of phones. Other individuals even prefer not to own a smartphone altogether, and have opted for “burner phones”.
These phones have no touchscreen, and interaction is facilitated through a keypad. On the other hand, there may be people who have had an older phone for a long time, and never got around to upgrading it. This is where refurbished phones can play a big part in providing a massive upgrade for a fair price. Most second-hand phones have been repaired aesthetically but not necessarily functionally, so even though there may not be scratches on the back or cracks on the screen, you don’t know that the phone is working well.
On the contrary, refurbished phones have been repaired by professionals, meaning the inner workings of the phone have been repaired as well as the outside. That makes refurbished phones slightly more expensive than used or second-hand phones, but it’s worth it to know that the phone is working well and won’t need any urgent repairs, or professional phone unlocking
