Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won’t anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

    I just barely replaced my galaxy s8, and it wasn’t the battery that became the issue, it was the lack of any new software updates.

    I was starting to have software compatibility issues, where installing new apps would say “android verision x is not supported”. Also, I’m pretty sure it was getting any security patches from either samsung or upstream google.

    I’m now looking at repurposing the s8 into a security camera since I think it’s a waste to just throw it in a drawer.
