I've been out of the phone market for a while, but have we reached a point were we're celebrating that we can pay $40 to buy a kit to change the battery of a phone?
When and why did this become a thing? I remember screens being a pain to replace, but the batteries just plopped right out.
Edit: Sorry, that came out more cynical than I intended. I'm just curious why we did away with batteries that fall out.
- icebraining 8y agoI own a Moto G, and you don't need any special tools to replace the battery. They just make it easier. Also, the kit includes a new battery! It's not $40 just for some tools.
- omnifischer 8y agoNice that even the first MotoG still has LineageOS development active - hopefully will get Oreo from LOS!
- Fnoord 8y agoI had a Moto G2, and it was incredibly easy to break the up and down physical buttons on it whilst repairing it.
- abhiminator 8y agoI used to use a Moto G2 as well and I second this. My volume-rocker keys were super wobbly, and literally popped-out in my finals days with the device.
