I don't think this is true. I've never been given a true option about batteries.
It's not like I get to choose two different versions of the same model of phone, where $a has a bigger battery, and $b has $feature. It's usually a funky mismatch between two different models, with different specs, some of which make it faster, and some of which have a bigger battery.
But I've never seen phones with a 1-to-1 comparison for batteries.
- ihowlatthemoon 10y agoYou mean like the Moto Z and the Z force? Z has a 2600mAh battery and is thinner. Z force has a 3500mAh battery for a 1.8mm addition of thickness. Motorola has done this before with the Droid Maxx.
- CaptSpify 10y agoYeah, I'd love to have something like that for every phone. They aren't completely the same, but they are close enough for me. I don't think I've seen any other phone with a choice like that, though.
- Tiksi 10y agoYou can get extended battery packs for most phones with a removable battery. I had a Galaxy S2 a few years back that would last 4-5 days of moderate use on a charge with one of them, though it made the phone about 1.5cm thicker.
- CaptSpify 10y agoYou are correct, but A) I don't want to buy something to upgrade my phone. I'd rather it come like that in the first place. B) Everyone says "nobody wants a bigger battery", but if everyone just buys them after the fact, how do the manufacturers know? Sounds like they are just passing the buck C) Many phones don't have a removable battery, or it voids warranties to do so.
