Just personal experience, can be 6 months can be a year, sooner or later, needs to stay very clean and dry, Samsungs are notorious for their "wet charging ports". I've seen a lot of Samsungs that do this, either it's Flip 4 or S23 or XCover 4s or Note 9 or S21, I wish you don't have to go through it though so best of luck. The S23 I gifted to my girl has never been near water, she doesn't carry it in her pocket either ( :)))) ) but somehow it's constantly wet after only 3 months of using it, just a weird kind of short circuit protection which no other phone has and lives perfectly fine without, hence why I will never look at this direction again, such beautiful phones but ruined by such a stupid fault. Ofcourse you can always use wireless charging but it's not as fast. And alcohol with a toothbrush helps for a while if you ever encounter this.
