A lot of folks still prefer smartphones with removable batteries, though, and for various reasons, chief among which is the possibility to carry a charged spare in your wallet when you will be away from the plug for a while. Granted, you can carry a power bank or a battery case, too, but it’s not the same thing, as you either have to wait for the charge to trickle in, or the phone gets bulky and uncomfortable to handle. The spare is easy to carry, plug-and-play, and can be swapped within a few seconds when the original juicer dies down.
Furthermore, instead of improving on battery life, manufacturers are standing still or actually regressing this year. That is why we are rounding up a few of the best phones with replaceable batteries you can get right now, for those who are into it. This list used to read like a who-is-who of Samsung phones, but a few others are trying to wiggle into that marketing niche now.
