However, we have previously observed how major laptop manufacturers suffered millions in losses, replacing batteries in a huge batch of computers right away, and now they are just a recommendation from Nokia’s most eminent mobile phone manufacturer, according to which owners of more than 50 million devices make up 46 million devices it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the behavior of the batteries of your phones and, in case of any problems with them, contact the service center for a free replacement of the battery.
