I've had the original, built-in-from-factory battery of a Google Pixel phone swell up. Assuming that this only happens with third-party batteries is something laptop and smartphone manufacturers try to brainwash us into thinking. Buy your third-party battery from a reputable company (not a random seller on Alibaba) and the risk will be the same as buying one from the original device manufacturer.
- Tijdreiziger 3y agoWhen you take your phone to a repair shop, you don’t know if the battery they installed is from a reputable manufacturer or a random Alibaba seller.
- TonyTrapp 3y agoYou can always ask. That being said, a good shop will probably not risk its reputation by installing garbage components.
