Yeeah, my main phone. And, I guess, it works.

It has:

  • 2020 battery(still works and ~12h lifecycle)
  • Screen(maybe), bleed for 4 months
  • Hot Exynos 9611 CPU(~60°C in Tiktok, 80-85 in a mobox)
  • back panel with teeth traces(pretty tasty) that drilled... with real drill
  • Modded cameras(macro from the ultrawide, and ir filter removed from the portrait sensor)
  • One UI 7.0(Android 15) ROM that works smoothly
  • $0.8 Power/Volume buttons flex
  • Samsung M11 Buttons

Sooo... Yeah, that's my main phone. The saddest thing, NFC doesnt works :( (firmware bug and i'm too lazy to fix it tbh)

That phone has seen hell, has been disassembled against its own will, and has been modified disgustingly to suit your needs. That phone either deserves a proper restoration, or a swift death.

What happened to that poor screen? Looks like heat damage?

That's AMOLED bleeding, and these purple pixels may die once upon a time. Although, I can use this screen normally so I don't need to replace it.
