It’s just a provocation from Energizer, but it’s real!

    With phones with removable batteries, you could get extra large batteries with a replacement back cover. I had one for my Galaxy Nexus I’d slap on when I knew it’d be a long day.

      Yep.

      I used to carry spare batteries with my S4 - they were slim, so it was easy. So I had to reboot to swap the battery - no big deal

      They still make kind of similar. It just goes over the USB C slot and also acts as a phone case.

      Problem is that most of them sold are all pretty junky, aside from ZeroLemon ones. ZL already stopped making them for my N20Ultra.

      Honestly that kind of turns your phone into a brick. With that being said companies shouldn’t glue the battery in. If a user wants to replace it they should be able to get to the battery without having to pry it out.

        It really wasn’t that bad of a brick. Definitely still a bit of a brick and I received comments about it, but honestly you get used to it pretty quick.

        Definitely not nearly as big as it would to put a power bank on the back of a modern phone over USB-C, maybe like 3-5mm more on the back side of the phone. It only doubled the battery thinkness, and that was a fairly thin phone to begin with.
