Comment on This rugged phone lets you hot-swap batteries without turning it off
Eww@lemmy.world 6 days agoAt this price (Half of most of the popular flagships) you could easily buy one in 3 years and not feel the sting. The cameras and durability are what stick out for me, but hot swapable battery is a huge bonus since I hate being tethered to a giant power brick to charge my S25 Ultra.

It’s not solely an affordability problem though. A big problem for me is being expected to toss out a piece of tech that still works perfectly fine because the manufacturer said so.
Also, who’s to say this thing even still exists in 3 years to just buy another one. Realistically, the hope is what? They just keep releasing a new version every year so you can always just buy the newest one? Sorry. I hate the mobile phone market so much. :( I should be able to get excited by a phone that looks like you could throw it down a mountain and then still use it without issue, but this industry has me so beat down I just can’t.
