I do lots of testing of apps in real phones, not emulators.

The thing is that the phones must be connected to the PC all day. Because of this, phones battery get swollen and I have to buy phones regularly.

Do you know any android phone which can be connected and on all day all week without getting swollen after a time?

Must be real phones, emulators are descarted.

i might be wrong, but I think you can remove the battery and run it with usb power just fine. Its at least worth a try.

Depends on the phone, with most it isn't easy to remove the battery.

Which is honestly a shame. It should be fairly easy to remove imo

Absolutely, there's no good reason not to. GoPro's manage to be waterproof and yet still have removeable batteries.

Phone manufacturers are bastards though, and they know that more people will just replace their phone when the battery wears out rather than go through the hassle of replacing the battery, a hassle that is by design.
