G+_M. L. Hunt Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Have to say I agree. I'm not crazy about Samsung phones in some respects, but their apparent determination to retain a removable battery in their designs has kept me buying their phones. I was in the market for a new phone when the M8 released, but went with a Note 3 in part because of its removable battery. My son also chose a GS5 over an M8 largely because of this. As an aside, LG apparently noticed the appeal of this feature as I think they added it back to the G3 after making the G2 a sealed design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Feiris Wheel (Pat) Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I find an external battery pack easier that swaping batteries. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_8?ie=UTF8&k=anker+astro&sprefix=Anker+as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_M. L. Hunt Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 There are certainly advantages to using an external battery, but I personally find just swapping out the battery a much less ungainly solution than tethering to an external pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eric Shoe Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 A properly designed phone would not have this problem. Charge all night use all day should me something every manufacture strives for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Daniel J Brieck Jr Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I follow the motto of the best phone you have is the one you already have + Cyanogenmod. So ya if you want to keep a phone going long term, making it as easy as possible to replace the battery is a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_M. L. Hunt Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Eric Shoe Your statement doesn't take into account the variety of user requirements for battery life. A phone designed with sufficient battery capacity for the most power-hungry users might be unappealingly bulky and heavy for most users. Designing a phone with replaceable batteries gets around this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Doc Funkinstein Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Pat L. How is that easier. Put that in your pocket with charging on the battery bank. Then wait for it to charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Feiris Wheel (Pat) Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Brian Dortch you aren't tethered to a wall or have to turn off your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Doc Funkinstein Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Pat L. So the one minute of turning off your phone is worse than being tethered to a power bank for 30 mins or more while being mobile and hoping that your USB port doesn't get bent Gothca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_M. L. Hunt Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I guess some people really, really hate rebooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
