Port ho! This silver bay is a Micro-B USB 3.0.

And it's open. Down to the battery at least. Tears of joy fall silently around the teardown table.

Peeling the back off this phone is easier than peeling a [invalid guide link]; the only tool required is an opposable thumb.

What's that, no battery?

Samsung seems to be promoting the DIY lifestyle. Not only is this battery replaceable, it needs to be user installed. That deserves an internet high-five.
