Re: Yet another landfill flagship
"There are things called 'external battery packs' and 'car chargers'."
You have to carry external batteries (and cable) around with you all the time, and they are considerably bulkier than a spare battery.
They also have to have plugged in to your phone for a long time to give a significant charge - not great if you are out-and-about and your phone is in your pocket, not least because the aforementioned bulky external battery plus phone is going to be very uncomfortable or even impractical to anyone without large pockets.
Car chargers are also useful, but only if you are in the car for a reasonable length of time otherwise you need both car charger and external battery.
I stuck with Samsung for years due in large part to the external battery (mainly because they always needed replacing after 8-12 months). Now only LG still offer removable batteries AFAIK - this was one factor in my decision not to enter into a 2 year contract. Instead have bought a OnePlus since it's lower price means a much less expensive brick if the battery does die (and it's functionality means buying a mainstream flagship would have been a waste of money).
