If you notice, removable battery is a thing recently-launched smartphones seem to lack. Similar to whether microSD card slots are necessary or not, non-removable or removable battery is also a controversial matter. But as more and more high-end flagships these days come with non-removable, removable battery becomes rare and missed by many users.

In this post, I want to give you my personal opinion on why the manufacturers should keep those batteries removable, for users’ sake.

1. Most effective way to reset your device

If you used to have, or are using a device with removable battery, whether it is a smartphone or tablet, I bet you have encountered this more than once. When your device freezes and you can not press any where to make it work, what will you do? The fastest and most effective way is to take out the battery, then put in again, then reset.

Well, to be very honest, this way is not absolutely healthy for your device, since you suddenly cut the power. However, this trick is widely used thanks to its constant effect.

2.  Lower cost of replacing/ repairing

Battery is one of the most frequently-used parts of a smartphone. Therefore, it is the most likely to need replacement. A removable battery is much easier to be taken out to fix or even change into a new one. This will save a lot more money than buying a new phone, and make it much more convenient than having to use a power bank to support.

3. Versatile

When you travel for long days and don’t have much access to charge, an extra battery is just quick and perfect for your situation. This is again smaller and more portable than a power bank.

4. Water damage

A lot of smartphones now are waterproof, especially those from Sony Xperia series. But for those who are not water-resistant, it is advisable to always remove the battery first thing if your device get wet. This way you will minimize the chances of your phone being ruined forever. And I think it is obvious that only smartphones with non-removable battery are capable of this act.

 

Above are my personal point of view. If you know any other advantages of keeping those smartphone batteries removable, don’t hesitate to share with us, either in the comment section below or on our Facebook fanpage. I really hope smartphone producers notice these and give us more removable battery options for upcoming devices.

Also, it is good to know that there are still available in our market those smartphones with removable batteries. Here are some of the best of them.
