It's not just him, it's his wife's and kids and so on and so forth. Just please let the phones tablets and games work. Lol

Haha I hear that! I just got my nephew the 2017 9.7 inch iPad and added him to my VZW plan. Now the kid has unlimited wherever he goes .. Which he loves but doesn't understand fully (of course) .. All he knows is his games / Disney app videos all load even when not at home lol .

It's insane. He had USB ports built into the kitchen island. But they have very few problems and to get back on topic, could care less about removable anything. More stuff to lose

My phone will still work. My battery packs will be right along with me just like your removable batteries . I have to more so worry about hurricanes though versus earthquakes.

You'll have a different phone long before your battery goes stale.

That is very true .. usually. We shall see how long this S8+ lasts haha :x.

What's next.... Note 8?

 

[Almeuit]

What's next.... Note 8?

I doubt it. I have bought some expensive phones but the S8 + to the Note 8 won't be a huge upgrade .. just an s-pen.. and if the rumored price of $1k+ is true that just isn't worth.

I don't get the S pen thing

Many note users don't get it either, but if you have a need for it you will love it... Otherwise it's just a novelty.

This. There are some who run their business on it so being able to sign documents on the fly is actually very useful.

It's true, batteries WILL degrade overtime..

I popped in a used V20 battery with manufacture date 2016.09.07 and noticed the battery life was abysmal. Battery drain to 60% within a little over an hour. It is an authentic LG battery for sure as I inspected it and compared it to my original. That battery was probably a Korean V20 battery and someone used it for a while. Battery was about 9 months old. Just to give you an idea later down the road what to expect.

Sorry, but everyone knows it is true.

But 9 months only do that if the battery wasn't used correctly, keeping it too long without any charge or going through much more cycles than average.

Speaking experience, every Samsung flagship I've own experienced degraded batteries. My S6 Active boasted a whopping 3500mAh battery, 8 months later battery went bad and I used it like a normal person would.

Well, there are many factors such as heat and the ones I already mentioned. But a battery shouldn't degrade that much in 8 or 9 months under regular usage. You may have been unlucky.

It could be because of the wireless charging. Don't think I'll ever do wireless charging again. Battery gets hot with wireless charging.

Makes sense.
I never had a phone with wireless charging, can't comment on that.

I have.. And yes wireless charging does make them hot and will degrade them faster... That's why I don't care if a phone comes with it or not...

You folks with removable, do you still use best practices for charging levels (keep it between 40% and 80% as much as possible) or do you let it drain super low before swapping or charging?

I still go with best practices.
