Hey there. This question is directed more towards smartphones in general. However, I'm posting it here because the One X is the first phone that I've personally encountered that I would want to buy, but would actually consider not doing so because of it.
Non-removable batteries. Can anyone shed some light as to why some companies are actually doing this now? Is there an important reason why the manufacturers don't want the owner to be able to swap batteries in and out? I'm not being snarky or douchey in asking - I genuinely would love to know why.
I honestly can't see myself purchasing a phone with a non-removable battery. Especially an LTE phone. The only way I would consider it is if it had a huge one (3000+). I have family and friends too who simply refuse to buy phones unless you can change the battery.
Battery life is SO important to users. I feel like it's even more important to "normal" smartphone owners. I can't figure our why this is starting to show up on a lot of phones?
Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
