For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    Absolutely not. They’ll be less capacity, bring back the shitty flimsy back covers, and have the covers sliding off and on like it’s 2013.

    It costs $15 plus the battery ($75 for official Google shit) and a half hour of time every three years to replace a battery.

    I’ll take the integrated offering every time. Fuck the EU and this ineffective grandstanding. Everyone is still going to buy a new phone every two years.

    I’ll be happy if phones don’t suck going back to removable but I won’t hold my breath.

      I never had a problem with a “flimsy back cover” or it coming off when I didn’t want it to on any of the phones I had. I’m still using my LG V20 from 2016 and it’s fine. I can get a new battery $20 and do it myself in seconds. A big reason why I haven’t bough a new phone is because I’ve been able to do that and nothing that has come out since then has as many features while getting ever more expensive.
