What's the point of making the battery non-removable in phones?

>6 years
Time to buy a new phone. You're not poor, are you?

Can't do a 10s recharge with a non-removable battery

>it's old, better toss this perfectly functional device in the trash
Enjoy wasting your money

Why should he? Spending money needlessly is a great way to become poor. If the phone is otherwise perfectly usable, it's idiotic to spend money for what at that point is little more than an overpriced fashion item.

My phone is five years old and still going strong. Could I buy a new one? Yes. Is there a point? Hell no.

Recharge once a day, your battery is fucked within 2 years as that is over 700 cycles and it might even be worse than that depending on how much your phone is exposed to body heat

> How many years is that?
2 to 4. Less if you use QC.
You don't need to "store" them, just freeze your phone in the back pocket a couple of times.

>buying a new phone every 6 years makes you poor
Fuck off pajeet

>frivolously spending hundreds of dollars
>not on track to the poor house

You're an idiot. No, buying a new phone on it's own won't make you poor, but a wasteful lifestyle will.

You can spend your money on whatever you like, but don't come crying to me if you end up sucking hobo dick for money.

What's QC?

What'd you do to recharge it so frequently, play games on it all the time?

Quick charge with higher currents.

So you have to buy a new phone when the battery brakes

Buying consumable products has never made a consumer rich. It's the exact opposite. You can't tell how big the money pile is that the user is sitting on by checking his consumables. You will learn it one day when you start getting other income than parent's allowance.

Cringe.

you mean jews.

>unless you store them in inadequate conditions or something
that "something" refers also to charging habits.
Instead of having to inconvenience myself by babying my phone to avoid its battery degrading quickly, I prefer having a phone that has a battery I can swap cheaply when it degrades.
Also: An used phone with a removable battery is great value, just buy a new battery and it's back to 100% functionality. An used phone with a non-removable battery might as well be e-waste.

My V20 battery feels shot. It's about 18 months old. Original replacements cannot be bought anymore and I am not into fakes and Chong Nong Pong batteries for housefire reasons.

I read your post and am replying to it from the pool. How jelly are you?
Anyway, I always thought this answer was correct, but then it was pointed out to me that the galaxy s5 had waterproofing and a removable battery, so I don't know.

I used to care about this kind of shit, but I don't anymore. My previous phone had a removable battery and my current one doesn't and so is life.

Niggajews

I wish I could go back to 2011.

Might be because I live in swedistan but the phone batteries of literally everyone I know are in some state of fucked after 2-3 years of use. My note 4 didn't even last the 15 minute bus ride to my university 1.5-2 years after purchase and the genuine battery I replaced it with ended up in a similar (but not as bad) state after about a year and the one I replaced it with is holding on for its fucking life dying at 30~% after slowing down to a crawl at 60%.

>perfectly functional device
I thought the battery was shot?

look at this poorfag.

If the battery was removable that wouldn't be an issue

>An used phone with a removable battery is great value, just buy a new battery and it's back to 100% functionality.
Not exactly. A hypothetical used apple phone would still be shit as they throttle later models with "upgrades"

My LG G4 battery was shot after just a year, it was turning off whenever I went outside (with temperatures under 0°C). If it wasn't for easy replacement, I wouldn't have it replaced, and I'd have to buy another phone. I also have two 8Ah extended batteries, which I charge in an external charger, and swap whenever one is at low percentage.

Doesn’t matter what you are doing, 2 years is unacceptable plain and simple

The chink shit works. I'm on number 4 with my v10

IIRC the throttling was a dumbfuck attempt to extend the life of a degrading battery, and it went away when the battery was replaced. Of course, Apple being Apple, you could only replace the battery in an Authorised Apple Service(TM).

>recharging once a day (overnight)
>why do you charge your phone so frequently
Maybe if they stopped making these fucking things so thin and make the batteries bigger like they should I wouldn’t have to recharge “so frequently”. And that’s not “frequent” charging. That’s normal charging from a normal work day. I’m sorry you don’t have a job or any friends user.

ITT: niggers too poor to afford a new phone

Yeah I guess I have to bite the bullet ...

They're not removable, because it says so on a label? I owned 3 different "non-removeable battery" phones in the past. It took me 1-5minutes on each phone to remove and install a new baterry.
Fucking sheeps.

- better water resistance
- gives more room for a bigger battery and/or more components, as bigger battery = fewer charge cycles used per time frame = longer lifespan, or at least that's how it should be
- newer phones are power efficient enough that the user shouldn't require a battery swap in the middle of the day, unless they're playing games or something

these also introduce a problem where the battery can't be replaced without special tools, since they're often glued shut, and even then that depends if a replacement battery is available for sale

Planned obsolescence and a mild improvement in aesthetics.

>as if you didn't know

A 6 year old phone is not perfectly functional unless you literally only use it for phone calls, in that case get a flip phone as it would be more secure than that piece of junk.

Engineering like this would not be possible with removable batteries.

keep telling yourself that

so that the phone can be GPS tracked at any time

her eybrows are ofputing

A 6 year old phone has the chance of being well supported under LineageOS or similar in which case would mean the latest version of Android with the latest security patches

is there a difference?

engineer it in a non-niggerlicious way

how do i achieve gf like this, bros

every battery is technically able to be replaced, seriously you don't know how to Google or Youtube this answer?

Talk to her lol

Sad thing is he doesn't.
Jow Forums is full of retards lately (by lately I mean the last 2-3 years).
We've even had threads discussing why modular phones aren't a thing.

The fuck dude, most phones today are at like 60% if you just lay it down the whole day. After 10-12 hours of sometimes looking into signal and reading some news in safari my battery is at 10% or lower.

Its not because of swedistan, its normal

>most phones today are at like 60% if you just lay it down the whole day
lol no
>iPhone
found your problem

Her everything is off-putting.

fellow g4 bro here, where'd you get your batteries? don't wanna get a shit chink cell

Waterproofing. I would rather get a phone with removable battery but with a lower IPX rating tho

>Chong pong batteries
I have a brand new 10 amp chink battery in my V20 and 4 more new ones in my desk drawer. Soldered fags on suicide watch.

>he thinks using high currents and heating the battery all the time doesn't shortens its lifetime
Absolute retarded.

Real answer: So you can't REALLY power down [GPS, mic, camera].

My moto g2 battery was fucked after 3 years.

Normies didn't care about battery swapping and wanted thinner, waterproof phones. It also meant that these same idiots would buy a new phone more often when the battery begins to fail.

who-whoa......

>better water resistance
IP67 is plenty for anyone that's not retarded and Samsung proved it was easily possible with a removable battery

This is what the phone companies want you to believe.

true, but normaltards think it means you can use it underwater, so they need to idiotproof it further

I bet it was barely usable by that time

Better ingress protection

I'm still using it, I keep it plugged in 99% of the time. I never leave my house so this isn't really a problem for me.

Removable batteries are a meme, what's important is that it's easily serviceable. Fuck all these companies gluing their phones shut for water resistance.

>Removable batteries are a meme
Not at all, it's wonderful to not need to be tethered to a powerbank or the wall if your battery happens to die

Waterproofing

People were removing the battery to avoid botnet surveillance, can't have that.

If you dropped those "waterproof" phones into a puddle, they all fried.

~Sauce, had several

It does, you need battery university.

Waterproofing the phone, retard.

why do they wear dresses like that and go out in public

My S5 is on it's second battery. All i did was wipe & install the original rom again & new oem battery (hard to find at this point) and it's like new. It's only (((updates))) and a fucked battery that make our phones age, otherwise they'd probably last a decade. My last phone was a 6 year old nokia lumia, and it was still fine with just a replacement battery thanks to Microsoft never bloating/updating shit.

I'm wondering about the Perfine LG V20 4100mAh LiPo battery but don't want it to blow up in my face when watching VR porn

Perhaps, but many times i've showered while talking on the phone, and it's not been a problem. (Removable battery, samsung claimed water resistant.)

That's a side effect. The real reason is so even if you have no reason to ever upgrade, eventually your battery will wear out and you'll have to.

wrong, take your meds schizo

What do you know about phone engineering
no one cares about removable batteries, it's not something that you need to address daily
if your phone's battery needs changing, just use a heat gun and open the back with a guitar pic or something and replace it yourself, or get your local repair guy to do it if you're not an absolute poorfag

Thinner batteries that can be nonstandard shapes and put things like the controller PCB into whatever space is they need, instead of inside the battery unit itself.
I imagine it's also far cheaper to have wireless charging built into the phone instead of having to make backplates that the coils built in.

>swedistan
cringe

cigaweed

>the schizo's posting again
>he's pretending to be a phone engineer
Reminder that if you don't take your meds you'll start to hear voices again mister phone engineer.

Silly goyim. Why would you want to replace the battery in that dinky old phone of yours when you could spend $1500 on the latest and greatest piece of kit with a WHOPPING 16GB of storage and a lack of the old, disgustingly outdated headphone jack?

Bought a refurb v20 for 200 burgers. Bought a 10 amp/hr battery for another 50. 250 burgers and it lasts for 3 to 4 days without charging. Feels good man. Enjoy paying 800 dollars for a device that will die in 2 years

It doesn't sell phones. It never did. People only care about shiny, sleek aesthetic and gimmicks.

All this shouldn't matter to you though. Being a so-called "power user" means you'll just take a screwdriver and replace it yourself, no?
