Would you buy a phone with no removable battery?
Was talking to a friend and he said in the new S6 you can no longer remove the battery. little search and sure enough MOST new phones (Nexus/Motorola/LG etc) all have non removable batteries.
I guess from a business case, that makes sense. Battery dies and client has a buy a new one. but from consumer standpoint, sorry but I would never buy a phone like that. I read few articles that say that it's for "slimness" reasons.....what a bunch of BS I guess this is the wave of the future now? Thanks Apple? Or I should say thanks public for purchasing such devices (although it seems like they don't really give you a choice at this point). |
My last 3 phones have non-removable batteries. I haven't had any problems with that. Granted all of them have huge batteries so running out of power was/is not an issue.
Phones were LG G Flex OnePlus One Currently Motorola Nexus 6 |

If a phone lasts a normal person a day and they charge it at night, and they upgrade every couple years, why would you make a phone they can change the battery? Nobody except dinosaurs like me change batteries anyway - people buying new phones may very well not be the target demographic for replaceable batteries. It's not like you can fix anything else on the phone and keep your warranty. |
Phones lock up sometimes and its good to have one where you can remove the battery and do a hard restart. I dont like the all in one option but like the OP said, it seems that the industry is moving that way.

My provider's only phone options have non-removable batteries. I've made it work but I'm not happy about it.
