it’s sad that replaceable batteries got extinct in just a few years. In my opinion replaceable battery is a great selling point and I know I’m not the only one so I’m surprised that the market are not able to provide this..
Especially now a days when phones have stagnated and having a 5 year old phone is nothing strange anymore.

I used to have a replaceable battery to my old LG G3 and it was great to just swap batteries and directly having a fully charged phone. Now I always have to have power banks or try to charge up during train rides or whatever and having to worry that I don’t have enough juice

I have an old phone that works fine except it cannot be charged. Was looking into charging the battery in a friend's identical phone, and putting the charged battery into mine.

I would have to dismantle the entire phone and remove the screen just to get to the battery. Absolutely ridiculous.

I replaced it with a Fairphone, which I promote every time I get the chance to.
