and i refuse to get a phone without one

2019-04-10 18:07:58 UTC  

isnt that going to become increasingly difficult

2019-04-10 18:08:05 UTC  

do you have a backup v20

2019-04-10 18:08:08 UTC  

Yes, yes it is.

2019-04-10 18:08:13 UTC  

or multiple

2019-04-10 18:08:25 UTC  

yeah im on the v20 train for the long haul

2019-04-10 18:08:40 UTC  

until removable batteries become normal again

2019-04-10 18:09:21 UTC  

if the v20 dies, i still have my galaxy s5 that works fine i can use til i get a new v20

2019-04-10 18:10:26 UTC  

im hoping that eventually all the features that have been phased out of phones lately will come back in style

2019-04-10 18:11:16 UTC  

removable batteries are nice, but not really needed for me

2019-04-10 18:11:30 UTC  

since modern batteries are mostly 4000mAh+

2019-04-10 18:11:56 UTC  

and the battery in my phone is easy to change

2019-04-10 18:12:11 UTC  

i keep my phones for so long that if the battery wasnt removable, it would force me to get a new phone

2019-04-10 18:13:08 UTC  

plus im one of those guys that likes to take out the stock battery and replace it with a 10000mah battery and make their phone the size and weight of a brick

2019-04-10 18:13:38 UTC  

on my phone you just unscrew two philips screws, disconnect the fingerprint ribbon cable, unscrew 10 smaller philips screws, and remove the battery connectors

2019-04-10 18:13:56 UTC  

hard to screw up

2019-04-10 18:14:02 UTC  

i would do that sort of thing with my phone but im afraid of the replacement batteries in general or batteries in the unopened ones degrading over time in the warehouse, unmaintained. then when those are gone the 'refurbished' phones are always just used phones from other people with little more than being wiped, and the reason those are being sold instead of being used is that the batteries are shot anyway

2019-04-10 18:15:38 UTC  

yeah replacing a 'nonremovable battery' can be easy depending on the phone

2019-04-10 18:16:21 UTC  

this is my phone

if i tried to put a big battery like this on a phone that didnt have a removable battery it would both be bigger and have less capacity

2019-04-10 18:17:41 UTC  

so im gonna stick with this til removable batteries come in vogue again

2019-04-10 18:17:56 UTC  

they make battery cases for some phones

2019-04-10 18:18:02 UTC  

i had a big battery like that for my s5 as well

2019-04-10 18:18:22 UTC  

yeah i know they do, but they are even bulkier with less capacity

2019-04-10 18:18:52 UTC  

im curious about that

2019-04-10 18:18:56 UTC  

whats your capacity

2019-04-10 18:19:00 UTC  

10k

2019-04-10 18:19:51 UTC  

thats a lot

2019-04-10 18:20:46 UTC  

i like not having to charge my phone

2019-04-10 18:21:56 UTC  

thats impressive. im going to see i can find a battery case like that

2019-04-10 18:22:02 UTC  

i doubt there are many

2019-04-10 18:24:15 UTC  

theres a 10k case for the galaxy note 8

2019-04-10 18:24:36 UTC  

or there used to be at one point

2019-04-10 18:26:04 UTC  

man modern phones kinda suck

2019-04-10 18:26:41 UTC  

yeah

2019-04-10 18:27:15 UTC  

and thats why im sticking with my old phones til the phone manufacturers get their head out of their butts again

2019-04-10 18:31:03 UTC  

i think its more likely to get worse before it gets any better

2019-04-10 18:32:01 UTC  

i think theyre going to keep making them worse so people are more likely to replace them after two years because less people are wanting to keep buying them

2019-04-10 18:32:26 UTC  

picking proper phones also helps with the issue

2019-04-10 18:32:37 UTC  

dont pick the "2600mah/ 3200mah" bullshit
