Im still rocking my galaxy s10+ and it's had this issue for about 2 years. Otherwise its great. I'm gunna keep hangin on. ✊🏼
s10 here reporting for duty.
sharp pair of tweezers or a needle or a toothpicks should be able to help. tons of instructions on how to do it in this thread, but I will add my 2 cents as a phone tech and say that if it's a lightening port, you want to keep your tool as vertically in the middle of the port as possible while scraping horizontally. for USBC, keep your tool as close to the walls as possible while avoiding the center "tab". this is so you don't scrape the contacts. if you do that, you will need a port replacement (usually 80-100$ on most devices). once you scrape as much as you can out. you can use an old toothbrush or whatever works to brush the port clean with some isopropyl to clean any dirt on the contacts, which will come off easily now that it's not being supported but the other debris you cleaned out with the tool.

This is why I try to use my wireless charger when I don't need fast charging, reduces the strain on my charging cable and the USB C port
I had the same thing.
Turns out the charger was too weak. Getting a 2A (Ampere) charger fixed it.
Got myself a Fairphone 5 just a few weeks ago. With this, switching the charging port is a 20€ + 10min time investment.

even if it were broken, this would be such an easy fix if phone companies wouldn't make it impossible to repair their phones. its freaking infuriating.

Rip.
Good luck buying a new one with all of * gestures at everything * this going on.
I just started buying cheap xiaomi phones. Mine cost 120€ and it can do everything I want it to do.
It's usually just dirty
- Test the cable first if you have a spare.
- Test the AC adapter if you have a spare.
- If both fail, inspect the charging port with a flashlight. 4a) If it looks dirty, try cleaning it out with a toothpick (if you have a dedicated plastic tool for mobile repair, use that). 4b) If it doesn't look dirty, refer to 4a. What often happens is that lint from your pocket compacts over time as it gets in there and then gets pressed in by the charger.
- If this doesn't work and you have a good, locally owned mobile repair shop nearby, they might look at the port for free just to see if there's anything you missed.
Only after all of this would I start to strongly consider the phone itself as the culprit.
