Maybe so, but not uncommon and I can see why operators might want to incentivise switching to mobile ticketing in this way. It removes a repetitive task of issuing tickets from the driver, but I imagine it also speeds up boarding times.
On another note; depending on the Samsung model, it may be relatively simple/cheap to replace that battery if it's causing you problems. The average lifespan is usually 3-5 years on them.
