Google’s Battery Performance Program update was supposed to stop this.

        Didn’t HMD make a couple of those too? Obv not the same country of origin but from what I’ve seen they’re considerably cheaper

      As far as I know, this will be the case in the EU in 2027.

        That’s for “easily replaceable” batteries, not necessarily swappable, as in pop off the cover and insert new battery.

        The new Fairphone 6, for example, requires a screw driver to open up the phone, and that would meet the legal requirements of the EU law.

          I miss my Galaxy S5. I could change the battery while jumping on a trampoline if I wanted to.
