Replace/Solder USB-C port on Pinephone
#1
They very laggy USB-C port is a big issue for charging the phone (especially on a bicycle with dynamo or solar panel).

Is there any chance to solder a new port onto the phones pcb?
If yes, which parts would I need to buy?

Soldering I guess is somehow like this:

Any detailed walk-trough on how to open the phone and how to replace the port?

Cold I instead charge via pogo-pins with a 3d-printed custom case?
