Ensure you clean it gently and avoid scraping the sides. Otherwise, it might damage the charging port.

Fix 3: Try Wireless Charging
Samsung’s Galaxy flagship line-up comes with built-in wireless charging support. So, if standard charging isn’t working, you can use a wireless charger as a temporary solution. However, please note that charging speeds might be slightly slower than charging via the cable.
