If you just take an empty shell it shouldn’t be hard at all to put an USB killer inside.
If you want to keep a functional phone, that’s very difficult. You’d likely have to reduce the size of the battery by half to free some space and then design a custom USB killer to fit into that space. And then you need some kind of switch to switch between regular USB usage and USB killer mode. Or you just hard-wire it to USB killer only and charge your phone exclusively with wireless charging.
Would this be difficult to actually put together? Asking as a mostly casual user of technology and of course for purely academic purposes.
Depends if the phone is supposed to still work.
