Mobile phones are no longer integrated and the batteries have to be disassembled again? Isn’t this a joke!

01 Do users think the waterproof function is useless?

If the mobile phone cancels the integrated appearance and changes to a removable battery or modular design, the first problem to be solved is waterproofing.

Waterproofing can be said to be the first problem to be solved when smartphones move towards non-disassembly. Users may think it is useless on weekdays. However, once the phone is soaked in water and causes a short circuit, the phone can only be scrapped and will not be covered by after-sales service, which will cause a lot of trouble for users. These "protections" may be invisible, but once something goes wrong, it will be a big deal.

This is also why Samsung Fold 3 mobile phone has to spend a lot of money and time to solve the problem of folding screen waterproofing. The waterproofing of ordinary mobile phones is also worthy of attention.

In the era of detachable phones 10 years ago, it was actually very difficult to make a mobile phone waterproof. However, in the era of integrated smart phones, waterproofing does not require such high process requirements and costs.

02 120W fast charging is not enough for you?

Ten years ago, mobile phones were made with removable batteries so that the phone could continue to be used by replacing the battery as soon as it ran out of power.

At present, I think this function is unnecessary.

High-power fast charging can no longer satisfy you?

Currently, there are fast chargers of tens of W, 100 W, and 120 W on the market, which can fully charge the battery to 100% in just over ten minutes. This has basically solved the current problem of battery life of smartphones. Moreover, as "shared power banks" are spread all over the streets and alleys, they can really be used to save the day when the battery runs out.

So I cannot agree that if “battery life” alone is the only consideration, we should return to the era of mobile phones with removable batteries.

03 Don’t want the thin and light integrated body of mobile phones anymore?

Once we go back to the detachable design of ten years ago, the phone body will not be thin and light.

The appearance of the iPhone may have officially opened the curtain of the integrated mobile phone industry. The integrated body is very thin and light, and it is free from the constraints of the button layout. Later, HTC and other mobile phones entered the touch-screen Android era. Take the original HD 2 mobile phone as an example. The full back cover disassembly has been changed to half cover disassembly. The significance of this design lies in the thin and light design of the mobile phone.

The concepts of "detachable" and "thin and light" are contradictory and cannot appear at the same time.

04 Last words: When should we return to the era of removable batteries?

1. The battery can be made thin and light, easy to carry, and can be put in a bag without any danger or other problems

2. The phone can be made thinner and lighter, and will not bend like the iPhone 6 Plus

3. The price of buying an extra original battery can be in the same price range as the current mobile power bank or even cheaper

4. Solve the problems of sealing and waterproofing

Once the above points are solved, I think it will be time for mobile phones with removable batteries to become popular again.
