until removable batteries become normal again

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

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

removable batteries are nice, but not really needed for me

since modern batteries are mostly 4000mAh+

and the battery in my phone is easy to change

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

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

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

hard to screw up

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

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

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

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

they make battery cases for some phones

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

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

im curious about that

whats your capacity

10k

thats a lot

i like not having to charge my phone

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

i doubt there are many

theres a 10k case for the galaxy note 8

or there used to be at one point

man modern phones kinda suck

yeah

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

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

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

picking proper phones also helps with the issue

dont pick the "2600mah/ 3200mah" bullshit

6000mAh or around there

and proper amoled display with true black background

you can get easily week of lifetime from the phone

as much as i would love removable battery its just health risk to anyone not only "so-so" knowledge about them

but what manufacturers should do is stop fucking gluing/welding that shit to phone/case itself to prevent professional/hobbyist repairs

how are they a health risk?
