Youtube has many videos showing the bad design of the (female) micro-usb port, which must be physically cleaned (very difficult!) regularly. It happens to all models, all brands.
I've order a hot-air soldering station (less than $70 US) to remove the damaged/ dirty female-port on the motherboard, plus extra new chips to hot-solder the replacement female-port.
Female-port micro-usb of the phone has other uses besides battery charging.
Repair it. I bought a hot-air solder/ desolder gun, new for about $70 US.
Female-port micro-usb is a design fault of a bad ISO committee. In the 1980's I served on one of their committees. Youtube has many videos on this. All brand, all models which use the female-port micro-usb port have this fault.
