Will Galaxy S6 be your next phone?

[beehold]

What’s going to be your next phone? Will it be Galaxy S6? Well frankly speaking, I'm amazed by the screen and new design. Non-removable battery/SD card could be a problem but I am going to try some extended battery case. Samsung finally realized that importance of design.

Based on past experience, I'd consider having a removable battery to be essential. Androids seem to have a habit of eventually locking up and a battery reseat is the only way to recover. Also, I don't like devices where you can't replace the battery... Apple brings this up with the Ipod/phone products... where if the battery needs to be replaced you just have to buy a whole new phone instead.

Not really-really as the phone can be disassembled and re-assembled after having replaced the battery, though it is not something that I would ever advise someone without a lot of experience in disassembling, repairing and reassembling tiny/delicate electronic devices to even think about .

 

Last Apple thingy I replaced a battery, an IPhone 3GS (clearly well outside any warranty  and otherwise worth virtually nothing) has been - believe me -  a nightmare  (and I am told that newer devices are worse ), I would say that it was the first device EVER that I actually needed a series of instructions with pictures because otherwise I would have not been able to disassemble and reassemble, still it is doable.

 

However, you are perfectly right , a non replaceable battery makes no sense whatsoever and I wouldn't ever want to pay good money for a device with such a "wrong" design.
