@wave_walnut Replacable batteries for smartphones was normal. I think the Samsung Galaxy S5 hard replacable. 2027 and its ground breaking news. :p
The Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had a headphone jack and microSD card too. It set a new standard that unfortunately no one followed up on.
To this day I wish they'd open-source that design so at the very least, small hobbyists and open source fanatics could try making updates to that design using the same basic frame. I think there's a large portion of the population that wouldn't mind having some variation of the Galaxy S5 forever as long as the internals and camera were upgraded every so often.
Yes, a long time ago it was common for smartphones to have replaceable batteries, but unfortunately, the mainstream models today seem to have built-in batteries. This time it is revolutionary in the sense that the regulation takes into account the right to repair and environmental issues.
My moto e4 2017 had it, but I was unable to purchase a replacement when the time came.
Why not? I can buy one for it right now.
