Phone automatically switching off without any warning

I have been using my Galaxy S23 for nearly two years. Recently, while I was using the split screen feature while charging (which I now realize was a bad idea), I received a warning message about overheating and the split screen closing. I set my phone aside to let it cool down, but nothing changed.

The next day, while I was on a call, the phone became very laggy, the volume decreased, and it turned off by itself. When I tried to turn it back on, I noticed the battery was at 1 percent, and it quickly depleted to 0. This happened twice that same day. 

After that, when I woke up, my phone wouldn’t turn on. I tried charging it, but that didn’t work, so I took it to Samsung. Since I arrived late in the evening, they couldn’t check the phone that day, but their initial assumption was a motherboard issue. Later, they contacted me and said the problem was actually a battery issue. They boosted the battery or did something similar, but when I brought the phone home, the same problem persisted. It still shuts off automatically while I’m using it, and the battery drops from 20 percent down to 1 percent. 

 

What should I do?

It sounds like you need a new battery. It's probably aged to the point it cannot hold a charge properly

Is it very expensive to change the battery?

You'd have to ask samsung for that. It depends on which phone you have, and I don't know how much it usually is

Hi there and welcome to the community 👋

Id suggest to leave it for samsung to properly inspect the phone and they will provide with how much it would cost to replace the battery.
