True or False: Once either the battery or the receiver of the Galaxy Note 8 are removed, they cannot be reused.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Indeterminate

Answer: (A)

Key idea: some phone components are designed to be replaced only with new parts because removing them breaks safety, calibration, and regulatory requirements.

The Galaxy Note 8 uses a battery that is sealed and not intended for user removal. Even when serviced, the battery’s safety circuitry and structural integrity can be compromised, so reusing a removed battery isn’t considered safe or reliable. Likewise, the receiver (the RF/antenna module) is tightly integrated and calibrated with the device. Once it’s removed, the module can lose its alignment, shielding, and performance characteristics, and a used module won’t meet RF specs or regulatory standards. For these reasons, once either component is removed, it isn’t treated as reusable.
