Thanks, changing it later is my problem, is it possible at all?


Most come with some good quality batteries and battery life but, changing the battery when it eventually taps out could be an issue later.

Till then, have fun, play games anyhow.

Just use manufacturer's or original charger and no problem whatsoever.

Just one Pro cheesy
- most non-removable batteries are stronger and last longer than the removable ones
- in case of power draining/slow charging issues, hard reset of battery stat.bin helps solve these issues compared to the removable ones (All you need do is unclip your battery or delete the battery stat.bin from system file. The former is preferable).
Cons
- Not easy to get a spare
- Not easy to change/remove when phone over heats
- in case of swollen battery, the leaks from the battery MIGHT damage the phone board

In case of flashing error with sp flash tools, you might be forced to remove your battery. This automatically voids your warranty. I'm currently experimenting with one infinix hot note now. Had to unclip the battery before flashing a new ROM..


In a simple language, you wont encourage it. Thanks

Here's a really educative post about batteries...!!
Sometimes we kill our batteries ourselves...!!



Six reasons why your android battery is charging slowly and how to fix them
Re: What Are The Prons And Cons Of Non-removable Smartphones by iPrevail(m): 7:40am On Jun 17, 2016
I used a Motorola Droid with non-removable battery, so I'll be writing from experience.


PROS

1. It looks sleek. Especially if the device is water resistant.
2. Non-removable battery means battery cannot be stolen or swapped.
3. If properly managed.. what I mean is, (i) You don't form unhealthy charging habits like allowing the battery to drain completely before charging. (ii) You don't try to put ON the phone when battery is already drained. (iii) You don't get overly curious and try to open the battery cover. undecided ...Then you may have no issues for a really long time.
4. Depending on the thickness of the phone, if it accidentally falls to the fall, there is a good chance of picking it up wholly.


CONS

1. I feel sorry for you when the phone hangs. You'll have to wait for the battery to drain out before you can charge and use it again. Frustration from the gods! cheesy
2. If they battery eventually gets damaged due to unhealthy charging habits or improper management.. well, sorry to say, that's the end. Just help your life and get a new device.
3. It's sleek, Yes. But how thick is Mr Sleek? If it falls to the ground can you pick it up wholly without a whole number of things going berserk inside and outside?
4. It has this funny habit of heating up so badly. But I think certain apps are suspects for that.
5. Finally, I love them, they are cool, sleek, stylish or whatever classed name you might want to call them. But I won't use, buy or recommend to a friend.

RitzyPrince:
Any manufacturer venturing into non-removable battery phones always have provisions on how to hard reset if need be. Defer depending on the model, for we iPhone users you just gotta press your Home and Power button simultaneously for 15s and viola it reboot. You gotta google how to go about it on the model you're on.

Exactly. For my galaxy s6, u hard reset by pressing voulme down, home and power key simultaneously.

Ok for all these people always saying in case your phone hangs, I wonder the kind of phones you guys use. I've had my phone for 2 yrs (tho with removable battery) but I've never pulled out the battery for once to fix hanging problem.

I feel the manufacturers must have taken all these into cognizance before manufacturing these phones so the speculations do not arise.

I use Tecno L8 plus, the battery is not removable and yet it doesn't have any problem at all. It's a delight to use. I don't know about others though.

You are just lucky, or should I say, you are using a better brand.
I use Asus fonepad 8 and I don't ave these problems. Same cannot be said of infinix, injoo and some mediocre products.

Imagine a phone with an in-built battery asking you to remove your battery due to over-heating

Pls wat do u mean by unclipping the battery? Do u mean a way of detaching it or dats a technical word for sumtin else? Need to knw
Re: What Are The Prons And Cons Of Non-removable Smartphones by tecnolad(m): 9:12am On Jun 17, 2016
my Infinix note 2 LTE's battery gives me the best mobile experience. everyone keeps emphasizing on having to wait till their battery drains, if their non-removable battery powered phones ever hang. But solving this is as simple as holding your power button for about 15 seconds till the phone either powers down or restarts

You have to unscrew your phone and look for where the battery flex was attached to the board. Carefully, unclip/remove it and place it back.

Doesn't need special setup.
Just search for the latest version of SP flash tool online, probably version 5, extract the .zip file and you are good to go. make sure you install your drivers correctly (VCOM)

Want a clear suggestions from those that knows better, the advantage and disadvantage of NON-REMOVABLE battery of smartphones. Thanks

The greatest disadvantage is that you can't change a dead battery.
Why would any sane person buy a non-removable battery phone?
