Wait. You people can’t remove the batteries from your phone? 🤨 My phone is only 2 years old and I can take off the back and remove mine whenever I want. The fuck kind of shit companies are you buying from?
There are only few devices with an easy to replace battery and I get some cynical vibes from your comment so you are probably aware. There are even less devices in the price class between 200 - 300€, a lot of people can’t afford the Fairphone. Hopefully the EU will deal with that shit soon.
You all need to hit up Best Buy then, because you can buy a $200- $300 unlocked phone from which you can, in fact, pop out the battery.
Please for the love of god, tell me you idiots weren’t signing on to contracts and indebting yourselves to phone companies just to get access to shitty, locked, censored and controlled iPhones or Galaxies.
Edit: I count 8 idiots. Holy crap, how did you let yourself get schnookered?
And please tell me, what phones in that price category have a removable battery (that aren’t complete shit, and the only feature is a removable battery)?
There are several brands of Android phones you can buy unlocked in my neck of the woods where you can pop out the back and replace the battery. I forget which brand mine is but I just checked and verified mine is battery - removable. It’s fucking inconceivable to me that you all put up with such garbage.
You can try Amazon or maybe Temu and look up unlocked Android phones and you should be able to find some that are repairable in that sense.
It’s an off-brand, not Samsung, that’s why. I don’t even think about such things because the fundamental way I approach such things is different than anybody else. I don’t need brand name shit, I need shit that is functional and works, so it doesn’t matter what the name of the brand of phone is I use. All I have to know is that I can waltz into Best Buy, go to the unlocked phone section, and pick between two or three of them, and I’m straight.
Tell me why knowing the name of my off-brand phone would actually matter for anything
sigh Fine, let me go through my system specs. Give me a minute
Mine is a Moto G Power. Oh shit, that’s right, I forgot I upgraded a couple of years back. That’s why I bought it. :P Anyway, on these, you can pop the battery out the back; here’s a shitty Youtube video showing how. I can’t record myself popping out the back of mine for obvious reasons.
Anyway, you can buy these unlocked and the prices are not bad, in all honesty.
I really, REALLY don’t get why you all are stupid enough to sign onto contracts to put yourselves into debt for machines you don’t really own and can’t take apart and control yourselves. Like what do you do if the battery goes kaput? AND you wind up paying upwards of a thousand dollars for them when a Moto G Power like mine costs only $300 at most?

Not everyone lives in the US btw.

How can you forget, what Phone you have?
Also, you could just check, under settings - about the phone

Because I’m curious what kind of a phone in that price segment has a removable battery?
