I suspect some companys will absolutely use this as Marketing stunt " Look how customer friendly we are" cant wait for the Iphone advertisements that make it look like they invented it for the first time ( they advertised in germany still like 3 months ago that you can delete sent messages )
So likely some companys will Release way earlier phones with Removeable batterys is my guess
@solrize @Evono there’s always a galaxy xcover if it’s available in your region.

Good point, though the current version of that phone is quite expensive and the older versions were not very good. I’m not a power user, I just want a basic cheap phone with a headphone jack and replaceable battery, that I can keep using for a while. A phone powered by 18650’s would be great. I do know about the Xcover and have stayed somewhat aware of it for when my current phone finally craps out.
@solrize yeah its a real pain in the ass finding ordinary useable phones that don’t miss out on what used to be standard features😢
