Is it possible to buy a genuine replacement battery for a Samsung smartphone in Bangkok? I have given up buying this item from the main online stores. Most electrical items are simply fakes. Samsung online stores offer everything but new batteries. They offer phone covers etc but basically little else. My local repair shop can get batteries but the owner freely admits they are copies saying he can not get genuine ones. So, can anybody point me to a shop that sells the real thing?

As far as I know Samsung service centers offer to change batteries for customers. Not cheap but you can be assured of original parts.

Thank you. I did look at the service centers online but all that I could see was repairs. I shall contact one and ask about battery replacement

Use the copy ones.

Just change it every 2 years or so, easy to do yourself.

Well that what I do.

its a 10 minute job after the first time.

I had a battery replaced recently at Samsung Service in MBK Bangkok.

Thank you I will try MBK

Yep ... I used the Samsung service shop in the Samsung store in Mega Bangna for screen and battery replacement. They had to phone a central warehouse center and order the parts, and I picked up the repaired phone 3 days later.

It was quite expensive, but cheaper than a new phone. However, the phone died a few months later, so in my case it was not a good strategy, but they used genuine parts and kept the boxes as proof, plus returned the old parts.
