I had a Galaxy S7 until this year. It was fully original beyond one screen, and the finish being melted off by work covered hands. Tough cookie, but her battery, memory just wasn't what she used to be... Damned shame. BUT HER SISTER SURE IS PRETTY!!
@@Puddingskin01 I resold my old S7 Active for like $30 USD. Thing could barely operate with like half of the battery life compared to what it used to get(had to charge two times a day) and runs worse than brand new due to the battery issue since Samsung nerfed the performance to dry to preserve battery life. Apparently the user is happy with it. I am just glad to be rid of it. It was my most problematic smartphone I've ever owned with going through 4 phone replacements all with the same LCD defect.
This might be better suited to say on a Garbage Time video, but I wanted to thank you and James for being the final push to get me tinkering in junk. I'm writing this just as I sit down after three or so weeks of wrenching on a fifty year old tractor that sat in a bush for twenty of them. The starter circuit was all sorts of crunchy, the engine didn't want to turn over and then when it did it blew out a cloud, the transmission was filled with chunky chocolate pudding, the pto was stuck solid, and the mowing deck was (and still is) made of 99% rust. But I cleaned up the bearings and joints, figured out how the ignition ticked, replaced the fluids, and even used pie plates and hose clamps to seal the holes in the muffler (didn't work, didn't use enough pie plates lol), and at long last, ol' Rusty starts, runs, drives, and even mows! It's a wild feeling to be operating a machine that you've watched almost your whole life slowly getting reclaimed by the earth; that bucket of tetanus that you were sure was just one more winter away from literally falling to pieces zipping around the property. And it's all because I, someone who is mechanically illiterate, performed a little tech-romancy and resurrected this nugget! So again, thanks to you both! Cheers from Michigan, USA!
0:58 "You can close [the USB port] for reasons I don't understand" Mate's never had to pluck pocket lint out of his port every couple of months, has he?
Sorry burst your bubble, Dankus, but Apple did not invent swipe to unlock. Neonode N1m, a proper nugget, had it in 2005 already. Apple sued Samsung for copying swipe to unlock, but lost because they were not the first to come up with it.
They did however win against Samsung because their phone copied Apples "design language": a rectangular device with rounded edges and a button under a screen. I am not even joking.
My parents owned that nugget. It literally died 12 years after we got it. The storage basically killed itself. I still remember playing so many games on it
This nugget and phone games are a combo from hell. For so long I was trying to play a very specific game and it always killed itself every time I tried because it was so behind, at some point newer games stopped even being compatible with it!
Working in manufacturing and construction, having a built-in port close would be huge for dust and grime protection. Especially on older phone which were more sensitive to such things.
I used to work at a dog grooming salon... yeah, having a cover for your ports is great. I don't think a sliding one like that is good, though, as stuff will get stuck in the sliding track.
It had a Wolfson DAC in it, when combined with voodoosound this was a top tier music listening device. The CPU was Hummingbird S5PC110 which was co-developed by Samsung and Intrinsity (which is the company Apple purchased to design their own ARM chips)
@damienlobb85 same, I had an S3 and I kinda liked the sounds. I had them on the lowest volume but still, it felt less generic than a typical click sound.
Woo I had one of these! I ran it for years, it's how I got into custom ROMs and Android development. It came with a Wolfson WM8994 DAC and with the right software this phone sounded awesome. It was a monster for its time and shared the same CPU (but an upgraded GPU) as the iPhone 4. Custom ROMs really unlocked this phone, it could play Quake 3 easy.
I got one after being annoyed by the iPhone. Loved it but the back button developed a problem where it would activate by itself constantly so I couldn't do anything!
this is actually such a nostalgic video for me bc in 2009 in the balkans new tech was rlyyy slowly coming in and we actually all used keypad phones untill around like 2011 lol my first touch screen phone was a smasnug galaxy s6 and its still with us till this day lol
500 dollars? Fully subsidized? With a plan? I said that is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn't appeal to business customers because it doesn't have a keyboard. Which makes it not a very good email machine.
Fun Fact: pretty much every cell phone could have an FM radio function but they normally have to pay for licensing via the telecommunications government agency in your country. The FCC for the US. The UN's ITU which is their telecommunications agency. Started a push a couple years ago for more smartphone companies to enable FM radio support since not only is it just a nice extra but it's a really nice thing for emergencies. (A TV tuner and AM radio would also be nice too just saying plz 😢)
the issue with putting an AM radio in a phone is that they require a ferrite rod antenna, even for digitally tuned ones, which would end up taking up like half the space inside. maybe it could be a sidecar that plugs into the headphone jack but phones don't come with them anymore so that won't work
I don't think that's the case, I think in the United States it was the cellular service companies that disabled the antennas. I don't think there's any license needed to receive signals such as FM. Not to my knowledge I mean technically any metal surface can receive signals. But maybe there's some cost to the FM radio parts? I just think in United States it was greed that disabled the FM tuner because the cell phone carriers were paid to by the music streaming services or because streaming services use mobile data and that used to make the money
@@Elizabeth2445A that sidecar thing isn’t a bad idea actually could be an extra accessory that could even work on multiple devices even tablets 🤔 I wonder what about other radio standards like VHF, AIR, CB, UHF, WX, SW, SSB, or even that HD radio which I wonder if it’s still even a thing?
@@zzoinks that could be the case or a combination of the two. Never underestimate corporate greed. Would most likely would just have to be something forced by regulation, most likely not the US but I could see maybe the EU doing something.
Great throwback to the first Galaxy S. At a time when everything was transitioning to the rectangular design screen. It's incredible to see the evolution of tech, especially when it comes to smartphones.
So I’ve been catching up on your older videos (thank you so much for the season videos) and I took a break to see the newest one! Thanks Wade for always being a fun guy that yells into microphones and shows off his uncharged snek.
@@snakewithapen5489 Because it is the most balanced stage and it is what the battery itself wanted the most. At 100% the battery wants to discharge the most, and at 0%, it wants to be charged the most.
I picked up the Samsung Epic 4G, which was the Galaxy S for Sprint in the US. It had a slide out keyboard which was weird, but it was a legit smartphone for the day.
I heard you announce in a video I forgot about that you planned to give the Galaxy S1 its own video at some point, and I'm super glad it finally happened! It's a rather cool phone; I'd prefer to see more Smasnug videos in the future! Thank you so much!!! ❤🎉🔥
Brightiest and cleariest screen ever. Even to this day it looks amazing. Cause yeah, despite screen cracked a bit in my unit, it still works perfectly. It's outdated but its capabilities were enough to run modern os, if the companies deliberatly didnt make that impossible Edit: GPS in mine worked perfectly and yes, even tho back cover was little plasticky, it was flexible and durable enough to withstand over 10 years of opening and closing. And when it fell, it acted like old Nokia brick, back cover and battery went all over the room. But I dropped it like 200-300 times (on one occasion, screen cracked unfortunatelly), despite that, it has the original battery and screen) My Mom used that battery in her Samsung S4mini, cause they were compatible, not in lenght but in contact arrangments.

Those maximum storage sizes for the microsd card slots were usually bs. They just took the largest microsd available at release. The only limit those microsd card slots have is the maximum supported size of the filesystem, and even if you run into such a limit, you only need a custom rom with a new enough version of android to fix that.
The original SD card standard allowed only up to 2GB cards. Then SDHC (High Capacity) came out which supported up to 32GB (The Galaxy S1 only supports up to SDHC). Current SD cards are mostly SDXC (eXtended Capacity) which allows for up to 2TB.
@@mik11112The only issue of SDXC is the default format of exFAT, but there's nothing stopping you from formatting as FAT32 and using it in an SDHC device
FUN FACT: The Galaxy S actually does support video out by the headphone jack. I used mine back in the day via a Nokia 3.5mm to AV (white,red,yellow) connectors on my TV to watch YT and stuff. Was a pretty handy feature i really used quite a bit :)
Modern high-end Smasnug phones and tablets still have video out, but with a dedicated desktop mode (Dex) and over USB-C. I once plugged my older Galaxy Note into a huuuge touchscreen (I think it was somewhere between 30 and 40 inches) with a single USB cable and I suddenly had the largest tablet this side of the old Microsoft Surface thingies that cost tens of thousands back in the day. It's so much fun, especially for board and strategy games.
Had this as my first smartphone, as a hand-me-down from my Dad. Tons of good memories but lost it all when it slipped out of my pocket in cab. Served me so well as my first ever smartphone, an ultra crazy new experience jumping from keypad phones.
@@some-replies Unless you pay +$1000, most high-end gaming emulation won't work (at all sometimes). I'm playing switch and ps2 games, on my phone, it's like my childhood dream come true. Best waifu s23 ultra.
I had this phone! It was sick as hell. Paid for 1 gig of internet a month (which was a lot back then) and accidentally used more data than i was allowed. Didnt get charged. Tested it the next month with like 2 gig over using tethering. Didnt get charged. My phone was the modem for the entire house share for about 4 years . Excellent piece of kit for the time.
It does my heart good to finally see Dank Pods do a review of my first smartphone. I got it for free from a waste transfer sight and had lost it in the cabin of a button top loader for about five months. I found it and it still had battery life.
I miss the days you could actually access the battery. If your phone froze, which happened frequently back in the day, you just took out the battery and rebooted it. Now if your phone freezes, you kinda just hold the power button and hope to god it actually turns off.
lol I remember having the "steppin' out" ringtone on my old Samsung Galaxy Y, every time I heard it I knew I was in deep trouble cause my mum was calling me for being late home.
I remember getting the Galaxy S2 LTE in 2011. It was the first phone I'd ever seen without a physical home button, and bloody hell did it look futuristic.
0:31 It has taken over fourteen years to realize that I've never had a phone without an OLED in it. I've literally only ever had a smasung, I just assumed all phones had them. Makes a little more sense why I was so confused why everyone was suddenly announcing OLED phones in the late 2010s, and they just didn't look any different.
S2 and S4 were the best. The s2 lasted me 3 years, and after the glitchfest that the S1 was, the S2 really established Samsung as the top dog in android space, eventually dethroning HTC. The AMOLED screen without the pentile arrangement was really neat and I used to rewatch a lot of movies on it just enjoying the contrast and colours.. And then the S4. I think I kept using it for about 5 years, such a compete thing it was.
Hey man, i just wanted to say, i got my first summer job in a electronics store and it kicked ass. They spent a bit training me but pretty quickly i gained a reputation about being the headphone guy, and it was literally just from binging your videos and researching good cans to buy when i was getting into music for the first time. Cheers to you for literally getting me my first job and kicking ass at it too, thanks from ireland 🇮🇪 Edit: some times during lunch people asked me how i know so much about headphones (i dont really in fairness i just dabble) and i had to pretend that its just a side hobby of mine instead of talking about this lunatic
I had one of those for a few years. my favorite thing about them is the headphone jack doubling as composite out. used it to watch many movies and shows on my tv back in the day.
This phone was modder paradise. My friend has one. He was rocking different os like every week. This is where MIUI was born. Many other custom roms too, like that one that was later renamed to Lineage OS (Cyanogen mod). Last time i checked it could run like Android 7 or something. Officially it got Android 4 i guess, but it was worse than custom ones. This was time when TouchWiz was hated and for a reason.
Same! The Samsung Moment! Later upgraded to the Samsung Epic! Those were good times! The Moment ran Cupcake out of the box and was stock Android before they introduced TouchWiz!
Really enjoyed seeing a video about the original Samsung Galaxy S! Because that is infact the first ever proper smartphone I ever had and I do still have and use it to this day! It's been my daily driver for 13 years now and I plan to keep it that way. Tho I actually have the Galaxy S+ (GT-I9001, faster CPU, bigger battery, but that's about it). I pretty much ran it stock on Android 2.3.6 with a 64GB micro SD up until 2019/2020. That's when google completely ended support for that version and things like the playstore, youtube, gmail, etc stopped working. Manually updated it to Android 4.4.4 added a 128GB micro SD and have continued to used it since. Surprisingly the battery even still holds up and gets me through the day on a single charge no problem! Considering the age of this device and how old tech like this gets deliberately blocked by seemingly endless software updates and hardware requirements more and more it is holding up very well! Looking forward to carry it into my grave.
1:01 The reason you can close it is to keep the connector as dust free as posible, all connectors get dirty over time as dust builds up inside. It clogs the connector and the cable can't reach the pins, this usually results into people trying to force it and than they break the connector it self.
I still got a S3 mini and it still works. A bit of the paint is chipped and it's slow as heck but it still works. Edit: It has 4.1 Jellybean, so it can just barely run TH-cam in a browser (app doesn't work anymore)
11:00 thanks for reminding me that android can no longer seamlessly loop .ogg files :( But yeah a lot of those ringtones are from stock android before like 2.3 I believe?
@@silverchain92channel Samsung Display does. There really are just two manufacturers of the OLED panels themselves left, LG and Samsung. The rest either produce relatively low quantities or high quantities of often subpar quality.
Also speaking of ringtones. My Audiophile hobby began later in 2021 , but my interest in music was influenced by ringtones. Specially nokia , with Trance and electronics but then now I have lots of genres I like. While still having a personal taste. Ofcource this is Dank Pods , so I'm glad to see more Audio related vids !
Also something to know about Samsung, for the same model, they had different version that was visibly clearly different from one another, the S1 was the case but I remember my S2 being wildly different from the ones I saw on videos, that's because the S2 was really looking different in the states compared to the European model (mine)
The early Galaxy phones actually advertise their screens by including a full-length movie. The Galaxy S, came with Avatar.
That’s actually really cool, that era of technology is the only one I’m not familiar enough with
I would be interested to know how much of the 8GB of internal storage is taken up by that.

Covers over the charging jack are great! They meant that farmers in my family didn't have to dig dust/dirt/straw/hay/whatever out of the charging jack every night just to get the thing to charge.
I was going to say the same thing. My dad works at a steel mill. He has lost two phones because of the dirt and dust getting in the charger port
Fun fact is you can update it to Android 7 unofficially via LineageOS. Would be cool to see you root and update this phone to get TH-cam working.
Yeah but it's not really usable with that. 4.4 (KitKat) is the sweet spot for this phone
Pretty sure my S1 (that I still have), has 7, but a by a different release group. Granted, it's been so long, I can't remember whose it runs (I use Devil's Kernel, for the audio enhancements)
Him using the browser was a curious move lol

@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE Sadly Dank isn't that tech literate. He really needs a IT pro around to run old games and programs on ancient computers
@@Puddingskin01 I resold my old S7 Active for like $30 USD. Thing could barely operate with like half of the battery life compared to what it used to get(had to charge two times a day) and runs worse than brand new due to the battery issue since Samsung nerfed the performance to dry to preserve battery life. Apparently the user is happy with it. I am just glad to be rid of it. It was my most problematic smartphone I've ever owned with going through 4 phone replacements all with the same LCD defect.
This might be better suited to say on a Garbage Time video, but I wanted to thank you and James for being the final push to get me tinkering in junk.
I'm writing this just as I sit down after three or so weeks of wrenching on a fifty year old tractor that sat in a bush for twenty of them. The starter circuit was all sorts of crunchy, the engine didn't want to turn over and then when it did it blew out a cloud, the transmission was filled with chunky chocolate pudding, the pto was stuck solid, and the mowing deck was (and still is) made of 99% rust. But I cleaned up the bearings and joints, figured out how the ignition ticked, replaced the fluids, and even used pie plates and hose clamps to seal the holes in the muffler (didn't work, didn't use enough pie plates lol), and at long last, ol' Rusty starts, runs, drives, and even mows!
It's a wild feeling to be operating a machine that you've watched almost your whole life slowly getting reclaimed by the earth; that bucket of tetanus that you were sure was just one more winter away from literally falling to pieces zipping around the property. And it's all because I, someone who is mechanically illiterate, performed a little tech-romancy and resurrected this nugget!
So again, thanks to you both!
Cheers from Michigan, USA!

Mate's never had to pluck pocket lint out of his port every couple of months, has he?
Wonder why his 13 pro max died....
Am I right?
Sorry burst your bubble, Dankus, but Apple did not invent swipe to unlock. Neonode N1m, a proper nugget, had it in 2005 already. Apple sued Samsung for copying swipe to unlock, but lost because they were not the first to come up with it.
That just shows how self centered apple is. They copy something then come after others doing the same thing.
They did however win against Samsung because their phone copied Apples "design language": a rectangular device with rounded edges and a button under a screen.
I am not even joking.
Remember Apple winning the iPod case because they proved that a guy had the idea/patent in the 70s, so they sent him an iPod that broke within a year.

Working in manufacturing and construction, having a built-in port close would be huge for dust and grime protection. Especially on older phone which were more sensitive to such things.
You can buy (or 3D print) rubber dust covers for ports, but there is of course a chance of losing them.
I used to work at a dog grooming salon... yeah, having a cover for your ports is great. I don't think a sliding one like that is good, though, as stuff will get stuck in the sliding track.
It had a Wolfson DAC in it, when combined with voodoosound this was a top tier music listening device.
The CPU was Hummingbird S5PC110 which was co-developed by Samsung and Intrinsity (which is the company Apple purchased to design their own ARM chips)

Woo I had one of these!
I ran it for years, it's how I got into custom ROMs and Android development.
It came with a Wolfson WM8994 DAC and with the right software this phone sounded awesome.
It was a monster for its time and shared the same CPU (but an upgraded GPU) as the iPhone 4.
Custom ROMs really unlocked this phone, it could play Quake 3 easy.
Ya boi! I still used this phone as a music player even after I upgraded, it was THAT good!
I got one after being annoyed by the iPhone. Loved it but the back button developed a problem where it would activate by itself constantly so I couldn't do anything!
I had one as my first smartphone back in the 2nd grade as a hand-me-down from my mom after she switched to an iPhone 4. I wish that I still had it.

Man, time has went too fast. I still remember saying "why would I want a touchscreen? There's no keyboard!"
I had a Nokia C6 with both. The plastic touch screen kinda sucked. :D
Hi Mr. Steve Ballmer, nice to meet you!
I still miss a PKB, I'd really like a combination like some BlackBerries had.
500 dollars? Fully subsidized? With a plan? I said that is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn't appeal to business customers because it doesn't have a keyboard. Which makes it not a very good email machine.
I remember when we got our first smartphone, we had issues doing basic gestures like scrolling
Fun Fact: pretty much every cell phone could have an FM radio function but they normally have to pay for licensing via the telecommunications government agency in your country. The FCC for the US.
The UN's ITU which is their telecommunications agency. Started a push a couple years ago for more smartphone companies to enable FM radio support since not only is it just a nice extra but it's a really nice thing for emergencies. (A TV tuner and AM radio would also be nice too just saying plz 😢)
the issue with putting an AM radio in a phone is that they require a ferrite rod antenna, even for digitally tuned ones, which would end up taking up like half the space inside.
maybe it could be a sidecar that plugs into the headphone jack but phones don't come with them anymore so that won't work
@@Elizabeth2445A Well maybe some country is going to start requiring headphone jacks again or something
I don't think that's the case, I think in the United States it was the cellular service companies that disabled the antennas. I don't think there's any license needed to receive signals such as FM. Not to my knowledge I mean technically any metal surface can receive signals. But maybe there's some cost to the FM radio parts? I just think in United States it was greed that disabled the FM tuner because the cell phone carriers were paid to by the music streaming services or because streaming services use mobile data and that used to make the money
@@Elizabeth2445A that sidecar thing isn’t a bad idea actually could be an extra accessory that could even work on multiple devices even tablets 🤔 I wonder what about other radio standards like VHF, AIR, CB, UHF, WX, SW, SSB, or even that HD radio which I wonder if it’s still even a thing?
@@zzoinks that could be the case or a combination of the two. Never underestimate corporate greed. Would most likely would just have to be something forced by regulation, most likely not the US but I could see maybe the EU doing something.

@3:45 if you store lithium batteries at half capacity they will still hold a charge decades later, fun fact
Yeah, it's practically a religion for RC hobbyists.
Yeah. I usually try to keep the Li-ion of the devices I have in storage between 40 and 60 %. I check them every 6 months or so
also they are safe when stored at 50% (they don't explode but only smoke)
Ohhh so that's why my new phone came at 50% out of the box
@@snakewithapen5489 Because it is the most balanced stage and it is what the battery itself wanted the most. At 100% the battery wants to discharge the most, and at 0%, it wants to be charged the most.

There is no better feeling than to see a new vid from the one and only after a tough and busy day. THANK YOUUUU im so excited to watch
Brightiest and cleariest screen ever. Even to this day it looks amazing. Cause yeah, despite screen cracked a bit in my unit, it still works perfectly. It's outdated but its capabilities were enough to run modern os, if the companies deliberatly didnt make that impossible
Edit: GPS in mine worked perfectly and yes, even tho back cover was little plasticky, it was flexible and durable enough to withstand over 10 years of opening and closing. And when it fell, it acted like old Nokia brick, back cover and battery went all over the room. But I dropped it like 200-300 times (on one occasion, screen cracked unfortunatelly), despite that, it has the original battery and screen) My Mom used that battery in her Samsung S4mini, cause they were compatible, not in lenght but in contact arrangments. Sorry for bad english

Bought it on release and still have it, working as it did back then. Great device!
Two thirds of my 2012 holiday pictures were taken with that phone camera. Good memories.
Those maximum storage sizes for the microsd card slots were usually bs. They just took the largest microsd available at release. The only limit those microsd card slots have is the maximum supported size of the filesystem, and even if you run into such a limit, you only need a custom rom with a new enough version of android to fix that.
The original SD card standard allowed only up to 2GB cards. Then SDHC (High Capacity) came out which supported up to 32GB (The Galaxy S1 only supports up to SDHC). Current SD cards are mostly SDXC (eXtended Capacity) which allows for up to 2TB.
@@mik11112The only issue of SDXC is the default format of exFAT, but there's nothing stopping you from formatting as FAT32 and using it in an SDHC device
I've put a 256GB card in a 2007 Nokia N95 and it worked fine
FUN FACT: The Galaxy S actually does support video out by the headphone jack.
I used mine back in the day via a Nokia 3.5mm to AV (white,red,yellow) connectors on my TV to watch YT and stuff.
Was a pretty handy feature i really used quite a bit :)
Modern high-end Smasnug phones and tablets still have video out, but with a dedicated desktop mode (Dex) and over USB-C. I once plugged my older Galaxy Note into a huuuge touchscreen (I think it was somewhere between 30 and 40 inches) with a single USB cable and I suddenly had the largest tablet this side of the old Microsoft Surface thingies that cost tens of thousands back in the day. It's so much fun, especially for board and strategy games.
The Nostalgia I have with this phone, it was my first phone, I was 13 at the time, Good Old Days 😢
Had this as my first smartphone, as a hand-me-down from my Dad. Tons of good memories but lost it all when it slipped out of my pocket in cab. Served me so well as my first ever smartphone, an ultra crazy new experience jumping from keypad phones.
I wish modern phones had a dust cover like that. If you work outside or in construction, you understand
You can get them really cheap, they have ones with a sticker so it still hangs from the phone while charging so you don't lose it

I loved my S2 back in the day! Last Smasnug I had was an S5 that my dad passed down to me when my iPhone 5C died.
S2 and S4 were the best. The s2 lasted me 3 years, and after the glitchfest that the S1 was, the S2 really established Samsung as the top dog in android space, eventually dethroning HTC. The AMOLED screen without the pentile arrangement was really neat and I used to rewatch a lot of movies on it just enjoying the contrast and colours.. And then the S4. I think I kept using it for about 5 years, such a compete thing it was.

This phone was modder paradise. My friend has one. He was rocking different os like every week. This is where MIUI was born. Many other custom roms too, like that one that was later renamed to Lineage OS (Cyanogen mod). Last time i checked it could run like Android 7 or something. Officially it got Android 4 i guess, but it was worse than custom ones. This was time when TouchWiz was hated and for a reason.
Used to have a Smasnug Galaxy S. Mine came with a slide out keyboard as an exclusive version to Sprint.

oh man my favourite phone, the *SMASNUG* galaxy s
Really enjoyed seeing a video about the original Samsung Galaxy S! Because that is infact the first ever proper smartphone I ever had and I do still have and use it to this day! It's been my daily driver for 13 years now and I plan to keep it that way. Tho I actually have the Galaxy S+ (GT-I9001, faster CPU, bigger battery, but that's about it). I pretty much ran it stock on Android 2.3.6 with a 64GB micro SD up until 2019/2020. That's when google completely ended support for that version and things like the playstore, youtube, gmail, etc stopped working. Manually updated it to Android 4.4.4 added a 128GB micro SD and have continued to used it since. Surprisingly the battery even still holds up and gets me through the day on a single charge no problem! Considering the age of this device and how old tech like this gets deliberately blocked by seemingly endless software updates and hardware requirements more and more it is holding up very well! Looking forward to carry it into my grave.
1:01 The reason you can close it is to keep the connector as dust free as posible, all connectors get dirty over time as dust builds up inside. It clogs the connector and the cable can't reach the pins, this usually results into people trying to force it and than they break the connector it self.

Also something to know about Samsung, for the same model, they had different version that was visibly clearly different from one another, the S1 was the case but I remember my S2 being wildly different from the ones I saw on videos, that's because the S2 was really looking different in the states compared to the European model (mine)
