- seanmcdirmid 12y agoWhat modern smartphone has a replaceable battery? Edit: well, I'm actually quite surprised.
- sirkneeland 12y agoA Samsung Galaxy S (up to and including the S5) I don't personally like the Galaxy series, but it is undeniably a modern smartphone that has a replaceable battery.
- userbinator 12y agoIn fact I don't think Samsung has made any smartphone without a removable battery.
- GFischer 12y agoA good thing, since their batteries don't last that long. I've had to replace 2 batteries (on Galaxy Ace and Galaxy Mini 2) which had only 2 years of (admittedly heavy) use, while my Nokias sustained a lot more abuse.

- jestinjoy1 12y agoMost Modern Smart Phones sold in India in this price category has replaceable battery Edit: I was asking the question whether this has a reason behind low price?
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoWhat is it about low price phones and replaceable batteries? Is it because the extra bulk/heft is acceptable on those phones and the batteries don't need to be molded?
- odiroot 12y agoWell, Jolla has :)
- homarp 12y agoSamsung Galaxy 4S and 5S have replaceable battery.

- daliusd 12y ago"user-replaceable battery". If your battery died then you can replace it for 75$ (+ taxes). Of course if you need lasting phone that is your work tool used throughout the day and you need multiple batteries then this smartphone might be simply not the right tool for your job.
- eloisant 12y agoFor me it's not about multiple batteries, it's being able to change it after 2 years because it's the only part on the phone that degrades over time. A battery in not $75 + taxes, it's more like $20. Granted, the Moto G and Moto E pricing somewhat make it more acceptable to change your phone every 2 years, but it's a trend that I don't like.
- daliusd 12y agoIf you don't like that then you can always vote with your wallet and buy something with replaceable battery then. I had 10 phones and only one battery problem (12 years ago). I simply bought new phone as old one became really outdated. Or you don't like that because you see it as bigger problem? E.g. you think that it is environmental problem. $75 + taxes includes battery price and its replacement (citing from here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97432/p/30,6720,9050 https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod...). You can do it yourself but it is not recommended and voids warranty.
- baq 12y agowarranty expires long before or in the best case at about the same time that the battery needs replacing. battery replacements look a bit similar to buying ink cartridges for printers.
- pling 12y agoYou can replace the battery easily. It requires a Torx T4 driver. Its not soldered or glued in. Just pop the back off, undo some screws, undo the battery ribbon and repeat in reverse.
