Removable smartphone batteries make a huge difference for a variety of reasons. One of the most significant benefits is that they give users greater control over their devices. When a phone’s battery is removable, it can be easily replaced if it becomes damaged or starts to wear out. This means that users can keep their phones for longer without having to replace them entirely. Additionally, removable batteries can be swapped out for larger or higher-capacity batteries, which can extend the phone’s battery life and reduce the need for frequent charging.
Samsung is taking a step forward in making battery replacement easier on their latest Galaxy models. The Galaxy S23 already made it simple with the addition of pull tabs that allow for easy removal, but now the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are following suit with battery packs that also have pull tabs for simple replacement. The documentation from South Korean regulatory agency Safety Korea included photos of the battery packs that measure their sizes, and all four battery packs have a pull tab for easy removal.
While the secondary battery for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a slightly lower capacity than its predecessor, it is possible that Samsung is counting on the efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset to improve battery life. It remains to be seen which battery packs will ultimately make it into these upcoming foldable models, but Samsung’s efforts towards easier battery replacement are certainly a step in the right direction.
