As for now it’s not easy for us to find a smartphone that comes with removable battery, it seems that replaceable batteries will never be a large market item in the future as well. However, when the problems come related to battery life span, you may miss the old days with removable battery that you can easily fix it by replacing the degraded battery by yourself or carrying extra batteries and swapping them as you like , instead of asking an official store to do a complicated battery renew with high cost.
Nowadays the new released best phones tend to sport a thin unibody design with high-rating waterproof feature, it somehow sacrifices the versatility of removable battery for new dashing features. The latest Samsung Galaxy S10 and its variants S10e/S10 Plus have been confirmed to not have a removable battery , even though some customers still hope for the return of replaceable battery in smartphones, we have to admit that the removable batteries have gone with the advent of fast charging and longer battery life.

The problem is when the battery fails and swells up it will most likely completely ruin your phone and you will be screwed until you send it away to get fixed or buy a new one. With my S5 it just pushes the back cover out some and i swap out the battery, no harm no foul. I keep using it with zero downtime and order a new battery online. Not having a removable battery is as unacceptable as not having an audio jack, charging headphones is preposterous and the only ones worth using (unless you are jogging or on the go or something) require an amp anyway (meaning you will need that physical output)
