Comment on Part 3: They said a phone can’t run without a battery. Unfortunately, Pettyl didn’t get the memo.

  I used to keep a charged spare on me. And this was back when a phones battery life was like 3-7 days.

  Stop making phones thinner God dammit. I don’t want a thinner phone. I want longer battery life and a removable battery so I can fucking double the shitty longer battery life I get.

    And a big enough pocket to hold it securely, no matter what gender clothing you wear!

      That’s kinda hard when women’s pants often have no pockets, fake pockets, or pockets so small they’re functionally useless.

        That’s why it’s a response to “I want…”!

    I used to keep a charged spare on me.

    There’s at least one Chinese brand that has smartphone with hot-swappable battery: rugone.net/products/xever-8

    Removable battery. Swap within 2 minutes for zero interruption. After 2 minutes, the device enters a 60-second safety lock-out to protect your data.

    Unfortunately, software from these brands tends to be shit. I feel like they just outsource it to the cheapest company. Especially following this recent thing:

    As of March 4, Sophos X-Intercept telemetry listed over 500 unique compromised Android devices across nearly 50 models. The devices were mostly low-cost models produced by the following manufacturers: Allview, BLU, Dcode, DOOGEE, Gigaset, Gionee, Lava, and Ulefone. The list did not include Alldocube devices, despite Kaspersky reportedly observing Keenadu affect that manufacturer as well.

  Didn’t EU pass a regulation regarding that. If I recall correctly all portable devices sold in the EU after February will will need to have a user replaceable battery.

      They already did I believe. They enhanced their battery glue so it should be easier to remove; reduced the amount of different screwdriver types required to access the battery to one or two; and put a small repair tool set up for sale, for the low price of $700. Thats already impressive for Apple standards
