Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

It's mentioned in this thread here that there is the xCover model series which have user replaceable batteries still. The 6 pro was released just last year So much for manufacturers having to figure things out from ground up bollocks

I have that device. It's definitely a thick boi but in no way does it not feel "not premium". I vastly prefer the grippy texturized back cover and sides to slippery glass/aluminium. It's one of the few devices that feels great in had without a case.

Premium means different things to different people. Plastic is never premium.

Does it really even matter though? Vast majority of people are going to put it in a plastic case anyways.
