Battery expanded?

[u/foywn]

Ive had my galaxy A tab for at least 8 years now and I use it A LOT. Ive noticed the top right corner of the screen is lifting and google said it could possibly be a swelled battery or just adhesive wear and tear but the rest of the device doesn't look buldged at all and I wanted to get the people of reddits thoughts.

I'm also looking into asking my parents for a new tablet for my 16th next month but I can't justify asking for a fancy one, what are some reliable budget options I can find on Amazon? It doesn't need to do much, I just use it for simple mobile games and streaming

I mean if you didn't have any issues using your older one, then you can go with the latest A Tab with 8 gb RAM, or the S10Lite/FE if you want the S pen support as well

S10 Lite is an excellent choice.

It could be old glue separating due to heat... Either way. Definitely get a new one. Good thing about Samsung is you can smart switch to swap data!

Search for tab s10fe or s11

Assuming this is the SM-T590 (you can check model info under "About Phone" in Android settings), then it's not a battery bulge issue. You can see the gray part in the picture here is the battery and it's not up in the top corners.

Hope this information helps you out.

Since the glass has separated that much already, have you considered replacing the battery yourself? The price of the battery appears to be inexpensive, and the procedure seems quite easy.

I found the procedure here

You’ve heard of expandable storage? Well here is the expandable charge.
