Information
This phone is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S5 (klte). The device-samsung-hlte support in pmaports was based on device-samsung-klte, and the kernel DTS also borrowed heavily from klte work. See the klte wiki page here: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S5_(samsung-klte)

Back cover
The back cover coating will degrade after 5 to 10 years and become sticky. Using adhesive remover (30% acetone and 70% isopropyl alcohol) it is possible to remove the worst parts with a spudger, but the corners are not easy to clean. A better solution is needed.
