I was considering getting an upgrade because something has happened to make my charging port difficult to use, but the differences with the newer models are so so minute and the cost so so high…
It just doesn’t make a lotta sense. Tho, I bet getting in here to change the port part myself would be very tricky.
I did it myself with my note 9, which I would guess is about the same difficulty level. It was honestly not so bad, you just wanna really take your time and especially have a lot of patience with the screen. The other possibility though is that you have some compressed fluff deep inside the port. The only thing I’ve ever gotten deep enough to fish that stuff out is a sowing needle.

Scratch the compacted pocket lint away from the charging port with a wooden toothpick and it’ll be good as new
Buddy, you just cost Samsung $1.6k in sales in less than fifteen minutes. I hope you’re happy!
I know I am, thanks for the tip 😊
Glad I could be of assistance!

Is it safe to do that with a needle? I’d imagine I’d want to avoid putting metal in there.
I also wonder if Samsung will fix it for free, but I imagine that’s unlikely.
Edit: Another user had a great suggestion of using a wooden toothpick and that worked like a charm!
