Such a cool phone. We need more like this.

Honestly quite the downgrade in some departments imo. You cant swap the battery without a screwdriver anymore (was great for hiking with a secondary battery) and no USB3 which also means no DP over USBC.

Actually to me that's an improvement as my back plate, and thus my battery, has come loose causing the phone to sometimes turn off when it falls.

Stop dropping your phone then lol But yeah there is always a tradeoff i guess.

I was reading that actually this change helped make the phone thinner and lighter, and they used a softer battery instead of the old one with a hard shell, so it was definitely a compromise.
