Huawei P30 Pro battery change

[qwertzy]

Hi, I understand official Huawei service centre will change battery for you for $50, but they insist upon a factory reset, which means all apps are cleansed. Do you have any idea why only Huawei insist on such a procedure (when iphones do not)?

If I change 3rd party, I wouldn't be sure they are going to use official battery.

Thanks.

Yea, but why only Huawei, and does not apply to others?

Geesh. Factory reset will be a real pain.

Well one thing is provide customers with the necessary privacy. You wouldn't want confidential documents, chats, photos being leaked just from a phone servicing.

Rather than deal with that, they just make every reset till nothing left.

I did the change and restored everything with a couple of hours from backup. Not a big issue la.

Factory reset is necessary for Huawei. I did it last year with my old Huawei Nova 3i (battery swollen, replaced under waranty). I have decided not to replace the battery of my Huawei P20 since it is still usable and I am using it as a backup phone now -- moved to Realme X50 5G (bought at S$399 from Challenger).

Last time it was the same for Samsung (for my Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE+, for servicing, not replacing battery), not so sure now.

Apple does not do that, but they do warn you to backup the data before the batter replacement. I did the battery replacement for our iPhone 6S (early 2019) and iPhone X (recently).
