cool, but what about removable batteries
And bigger batteries, and headphone jacks, and SD card slots, and front facing speakers, and the magnetic stripe thing for Samsung pay. I miss all that shit, and even the ir blaster for that matter. Phones used to be so cool, like I seriously don't care if my phone is a few nanometers thicker if it actually makes use of the space
Samsung: no we cant hear you.
Also Samsung:
That's seriously my top contender for my next phone right now, and it's a model more than a year old. But it's the only 1 of 2 available phones on the market with 5g, a removable battery, and an SD card slot. Fucking baffles me.
Yeah but unlike Fairphone this actually comes with a headphone jack aswell. It was an easy decision for me since there literally was no alternative. Been happy with it so far.
No one is going to make them with a removable battery. They will however make them easily replaceable, which they already are.
They are not permanently glued in anymore? When did they make the change?
Isopropyl alcohol and heat removes them just fine. Watch some of the jerryrigeverything teardowns.
So permanently glued still, gotcha.
You have an odd definition of permanent. I guess the screen is permanently glued down too?
Jerryrigeverything takes the battery out on these phones easily. People already replace the batteries in them. How is that possible if they’re permanently glued in?
