Android 13, no SIM card slot in the new phone

Google is preparing to release Android 13 soon. Meanwhile, information about the e-SIM feature of Android 13 has been leaked.

Google is going to provide a Multiple Enabled Profile (MEP) feature and an e-SIM. This feature is said to be convenient for users who use SIM cards of different networks.

It is also said to reduce investment in mobile hardware. As soon as this feature is made public, mobile companies can remove the SIM card slot to increase the size of the battery or use it for other purposes.

Currently, most mobile phones have a SIM card tray that allows you to use two SIMs to use SIM cards of different networks.

Samsung's announcement: Galaxy smartphone customers can now repair themselves

Samsung on Thursday announced a new 'self-repair program'. from the Galaxy center, it says customers will be able to access parts, tools, and guides to repair their devices.

This program is brought in collaboration with iFixit, a popular repair guide, and parts-related website. He has also worked with similar companies such as Motorola and Steam.

Spare parts available in the first phase include Galaxy S Twenty and S Twenty One series phones and Galaxy Tab S Seven Plus. But that doesn't include Galaxy's latest S202 smartphones.

"We are working with Samsung to improve their repair guides and provide DIY parts," said Cale Vince, CEO of iFixit. Samsung's program follows Apple's self-service program and Microsoft's Surface Tools.

Vince went on to say, "Manufacturers are clear about embracing repairs." Customers wishing to benefit from the program will receive a step-by-step repair guide as well as the necessary tools in a comfortable video, according to Samsung's press release.

Samsung has said it will continue to expand its "product range" for repairs in the coming days. Currently, the display, back glass, and charging port are kept as initial parts.

But the press release is silent on the option to replace the battery. The self-repair program is seen as a step toward the company's sustainable goals.

The company has also recently extended the Android software support timeline for its phones. In the 'Self Repair Program,' you can send old and damaged parts to Samsung for free to recycle.
