"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 I simply bought new phone as old one became really outdated.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.
