Samsung eyes new battery tech to break free from its 45W charging prison
Samsung may finally move to new battery technology for its phones, and to nobody's surprise, it's following Apple's example

Or..just make a damn removable battery And allow people to buy new batteries. I don't need my phone to charge in half a second with a high chance of it exploding or killing itself from being charged at high speeds...I just want to be able to replace the shit you glued in
honestly agreed, I don't mind the fast charging, but I would love removable batteries. Even if it meant shorter life spans. like I used to be able to pay 20-30$ on a battery and replace it, but now you need adhesive and a heat gun
I read somewhere about a phone that had 2 batteries, that way you could swap batteries with the phone remained turned on during the process!
That was the case on the old Motorola StarTac. One battery was attached to the top of the flip, and then there was a larger battery that could be clipped onto the back. Both would power the phone so as long as one had power you could swap the other.
my headset does this, I'm spoiled by it and I'll never go back. I'm fully ok with putting up with some of the issues with the headset exclusively cause of this feature. It's so nice
Can you share the model name of your headset?
I've used two headsets that done it, the Arctis Pro Wireless and turtle beach stealth pro, I highly recommend the Arctis Pro wireless over the turtle beach though as the Arctis Pro wireless was a seemless swap, where the turtle beach has a 10-15 second delay swapping battery.
The old ThinkPad T480 has this: an internal battery plus a hotswappable external one
Yeah my T460s has an internal and external
Nokia n900 could do it live, with a charger connected instead of a second battery.
You disabled the watchdog, because root access was officially supported, turned the brightness way down, connected the charger, and finally swapped the batteries.
Used to be somewhat common as I recall back with flip phones (yes Im old.)
New shiftphone at least has a replaceable battery iirc.
I'm pretty sure taking out the battery of a feature phone would turn it off instantly.
My Xiaomy (2, 5 note pro) had that, just power off, pop the back, switch in a fully loaded 5€ 3200mAh battery and go.
Had a "station" for charging them too.
