Alphane MoonSmartphone buyers meh on AI, care much more about battery life - 9to5Mac
acosmichippoWhat I would be arguing for is user-replaceable batteries so you can have an extra one and swap it out as needed. That way phones shouldn’t need to be (much) thicker, and you can keep your phone going as long as you want with extra batteries.
Those of us who do actually prefer thinner, lighter phones cannot take off the extra battery we don’t need. Plus bigger batteries are a huge waste of resources if the capacity isn’t going to be used.
that was a thing in the early days. most clamshells had em and a few flat panels (called candybars)
First few galaxy phones. Pretty much all of the first few generations of smart phone except apple
yep. first one i had with a non removable battery was the lg v30. battery was removable but you voided the warranty to do it and it required opening the entire case with a knife edge
