Bruinator Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Is it a good idea to buy a mobile phone that has a non removable battery? if yes, is it easy to replace it myself, even though, LG says it will be tough to do? The phone is a LG stylo 4? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1380004-lg-stylo-4-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted February 20, 2019 MVC Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) I don't have have a problem with phones with non-removable batteries, but you might. I can't read your mind so I don't know. With regards to replacing a non-removable battery, go find a video of someone doing it on YouTube and see if you have the skills needed to do it. Often they're glued, in which case, getting into them can be a major hassle.

Bruinator Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Any ideas how long the batteries life span is? I use m phone for internet browsing, email, text (not too often) and watch a show/movie (not too often). thx Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1380004-lg-stylo-4-question/#findComment-598419934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted February 20, 2019 MVC Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Hard to say. At a guess, with normal use, anywhere from 2 (at the very low end) to 5 years.

My Samsung S7 apparently comes with a 3000mAh battery, which with minimal usage can last me maybe a day and a half. But at the same time that doesn't take in to account the other specs of the phone which will change the amount of usage you can get from it. But if you're talking about the lifespan of the battery before it would need to be changed, I can tell you that I've had the S7 since it came out and I've not had to change the battery so far. Basically the phone will become obsolete before the battery is completely unusable.

I can't give you a more specific answer because it's down to too many factors (how often you charge the battery when it isn't completely depleted, for example) so all I can tell you is that my phone of about 3 years still doesn't need the battery to be replaced.
