Note 8 - battery expanded

[RorschachKovacs]

It looks like my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has also fallen victim to its battery expanding. The battery had been replaced in late March/early April 2019 when I had the screen replaced due to OLED screen burn.

What can I get done about this?

Buy a new battery is the short answer but you'll need to have the back resealed if you want it to stay dry and dust free. Only option is to have it repaired by a samsung repair centre if you want to keep the phone or buy a new one. Samsung always have offers going on.
