Just pay $50+ for a replacement instead of a new phone. A removable would be even cheaper to replace, sure. But besides the bulkiness forcing out other handy components, the bulky plastic case forces out more battery capacity. So with more battery capacity you could have longer battery life with the non-removable one. And honestly if you don't mind carrying a spare battery to make up for low life then you don't mind carrying a battery powered phone charger or a phone charging case. That's how I extended my old phone longer before getting a new one, as its battery was starting to lose capacity. I almost replaced the battery and kept it 4 more years, but the new phone I was looking at had a much much longer lasting battery (even compared to my old phone brand new) and a much faster processor so I don't have to wait for anything to load. I ignored all the random features in each new model until I saw those two things. I don't see apps getting any more instant and more battery will probably be overkill, so next time around I probably will just replace the battery. And then in a decade-ish maybe there will be some other feature so insanely nice that I'll have to replace my phone.

While poorly worded, lack of innovative design is as legitimate of a reason as any to discredit these big names; Ironic considering we as consumers rely on them, placing the responsibility (but not necessarily obligation) for a solution(s) squarely on their executive shoulders. I would wager a design for waterproofing and modular ability is more simple than they make it seem given the tentative exploration with smartphone peripherals. Perhaps they'd like to charge an unrealistic premium for such a device but opt not to in order to see what their competition will do? The premium is already through the roof though...I wonder whether it's justified though... would be nice if they were more transparent with their manufacturing and business practice... most companies rarely are.

The LG G5 was just as thin as the Google Pixel and had a removable battery. The Galaxy S5 was waterproof, had a removable battery and was just barely thicker (8.1mm (.32 in) vs 7.8mm (.31 in)) then the current Galaxy S20. Models like the LG G5 were even thinner at 7.7mm and the bottom of the phone popped off and the battery was replaceable. They can do it, they choose not to because they profit by doing so. Batteries have a shelf life and the average person does not charge their Lithium Ion battery and lets it die constantly, this destroys the life of the battery which can last upwards of 2500-3500 charges when done optimally, but be as low or lower then 300 when constantly drained. They know this and it helps push more phones, like a lot more phones. We saw great examples of this with the updates to slow phones down. They claim it was to "improve battery life" and it is conventionally kind of true, but we all know it was just another step of their plan planned obsolesce. Otherwise companies like Apple and Samsung would have told us about the updates. They only made excuses later once caught.

Every tech reviewer that reviewed the S5 complained about it's back cover feeling "cheap." I think a large part of the reason why these trends have happened is because tech reviewers see a glass back and say "WOW, this device feels so PREMIUM!" Phone manufactures read those reviews and design their phones around what the reviewers talk about the most. The reviewers do not understand what 90% of consumers want. They are merely looking for a phone to "wow" them so that they can say positive things about them, and they don't evaluate them for long-term use.

I'm sorry Linus but I have to disagree. The Samsung S5 had a headphone Jack, expandable storage, removable batteries, water/dust resistance all together. The excuse that they can't water proof a phone with a removable battery is bull.

It's not that hard to waterproof the new phones. It's that doing so would make $1,000 phones even more expensive.

I've never dropped my phone in the toilet, or spilled onto it.

I don't know if they'll ever act on it though. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see removable batteries again, but I'll only believe it when I see it.

Some update on the topic: EU has passed legislation mandating removable batteries in all mobile devices from 2027 .

I just wish there were flagship options for people who want a removable battery. I miss going from 0% to 100% in 20 seconds.

*Yes* *I* *totally* *agree* and I think smartphones are simply *too* *thin* these days, I wish I could buy a Samsung or Apple flagship/halo phone that was 2x thicker and allowed me to hot-swap modular battery packs or even enhance battery life over the included default battery pack by inserting a newer modular replacement pack rated for more Amp-hours.

It's better than running out of power, or carrying around an external charger and cable (which will take at least an hour and 15 to charge the phone. I would go from 0% to 100% in 20 seconds.

I would gladly buy a phone a few milimeters thicker to have a removable battery. My favorite phone is the still the galaxy note four. I have a note 9 and now carry a power bank for travel and for long work days. Huge performance difference but if my note 9 had a replaceable it would be perfect. Now I get to spend $200 to have the battery replaced when it can no longer perform.
