Two really dumb people and Tmobile is going to pay. Also, never trade in your phone. I keep the previous generation as a backup in case I lose or break it, and I take a hammer to the older ones on rotation.

I hope you remove the batteries first before going at it with the hammer, or else you're going to be breathing in some really nasty fumes.

Plus damaging the battery could cause it to ignite anywhere between an hour to several days after it takes damage.

I rarely upgrade phones, and the last one I smashed had removable batteries. Yeah, I'd figure next upgrade. I'd have to figure something out for my Note 8.

I've got a hard nut to crack as well, my Note 9 is peak Samsung and I can't find a replacement that has stylus, 3.5 mm jack, microSD and capacitive fingerprint scanner (in-display ones suck, at least on A50 from my workplace).

Is the last one an absolute requirement? If not, although I imagine you're already aware of it, have you considered the Moto G Stylus? It manages the first three details nicely, but I don't think any of the models have a capacitive fingerprint scanner (may be mistaken, wasn't a feature I was interested in when looking into these).

No, but it must match capacitive reader's performance.

I've just checked the 2023 version of Moto G Stylus and... IPS? Seriously, Motorola? Sorry, devil wears Prada and flagships wear AMOLED.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that G Stylus isn't supposed to be a flagship. Duh.

Thank you for suggesting something anyway. Guess I'll stick to the Note 9 and keep fixing it until the world dies.
