The Samsung Galaxy S10
The Samsung Galaxy S10 was the flagship phone from the smartphone giant Samsung, released in 2019. Boasting a 16 MP camera and 6/8GB RAM options, this phone still does a good job 4 years on. You can see the full specifications here.
With that being said, a phone that has been owned for 4 years may have accumulated damages or performance issues as time has gone on. In some instances, you may need to replace the battery of your phone.
Is Samsung better than Apple?
The answer could be either, depending on whom you ask. Apple exclusively has its own OS (Operating system) in its iPad, iPhone, MacBook & Apple Mac products. The operating system for Apple is known for efficiency and simplicity to navigate.
Devices such as Samsung smartphones use an operating system known as Android. Android operating systems are known to be more customisable for those looking for it, but still easy enough for anybody to navigate. The capabilities of each system are dependent on the device operating it. Understandably, the better the performance specifications of the phone, the easier it can handle the operating system.
How can I keep my Galaxy S10 battery healthy?
The methods we share below are not only applicable to a Galaxy S10, but also any smartphone. Following these steps can help ensure your battery lasts longer than it would have, had you not tried these methods.
Ensuring your battery lasts for years is beneficial to you as the owner, especially if you only upgrade your phone when your current one becomes faulty or broken. Keeping your phone in the best condition possible will save you money in the long term. Here are the steps you can take to keep your battery healthy and optimise battery life.
- 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.
- Close apps you aren’t using, too many running apps affect battery and performance.
- Turning off location services and/or Bluetooth if not required at that moment.
- Keep your phone in a case to protect the battery from physical damage or water damage.
What damages a smartphone battery?
There are many factors that can contribute to a smartphone battery from developing faults, here are some key causes…- Overcharging your phone, although most modern smartphones have appropriate fail-safes that prevent overcharging. Older phones can develop faults over time as a result of constant charging.
- Water damage
- Dust or other contaminants that are within the batteries components or area.
- Physical damage
- Faults within the battery itself
- Using the wrong charger
- Tampering with the battery
Getting safety accessories such as glass screen protectors or phone cases can help limit the damage to the battery that would have been caused by a fall or impact. It is good practice to take precautionary methods such as physical reinforcement for your phone to get the most usage from the phone over a longer period of time.
How to replace Galaxy S10 battery
Replacing the Galaxy S10 battery can be a complicated process if you don’t have the right equipment. The reason you require equipment is that the back casing is securely attached, to a degree where it can not be pried open with your bare hands.
Once managing to open the back case, you must have specific screws to unlock the cover that the battery is under. After this, you can remove the battery if it is safe to do so, as some battery faults are the result of damage or a leak. In theory, you can do this by yourself, as there are products you can buy in order to detach the back case and screws yourself.
But, the risk of damaging your phone is too great if you are not experienced at this. Considering the effort and risk attached to doing this task at home, it would make sense to at least know about a convenient alternative that does the previously mentioned tasks for you.

How much do Samsung charge to repair a Galaxy S10?
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.
What are refurbished phones?
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
