Should I use non-Samsung batteries in my Samsung device?

No, Samsung recommends the use of only Samsung–approved batteries, chargers, and cables with your device.

For some models, the battery includes the NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna. Using a non-Samsung battery where the model has the NFC antenna built-in to the battery may mean that NFC will stop working.
