It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027 - Lemdro.id

### TL;DR - The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries. - By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise. - The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.

Now we just need headphone jacks and SD cards and lineageos support and my dream phone will be mandated.

I’m not a fan of xiaomi (even though it’s my daily driver), but most of their phones fit your needs. In the past I used redmi note 4, note 9 pro and now note 10 pro and they’ve all been great.

Custom roms community really is something.

Had bad luck with China phones being open before, but when the time comes I’ll have to take a look.
