Removable battery: please help

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi. I have had a Samsung Galaxy S4 for the last few years. It is useful as I have a second battery that I can swap in seconds. This is useful as I am often away at weekend with no access to electricity.
I am due an upgrade( and need a new handset) but have just found out this is not the case with the galaxy s6.

Anyone got any advice for a new handset that still has a removable battery that I could buy a second one for?

Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous Yes the S5 has a removable battery wink

"Samsung continues to stick with a handful of features that others continue to either ignore or move away from. First, they put a removable battery in the Galaxy S5, just like they have with all of their phones. This means you can swap batteries"

Have u thought about portable charging banks/bars? You charge them up before you leave, then plug the phone into it whilst out of range of charging facilities.

Most phones these days unfortunately have built in batteries. Although, I'm sure you'll find one that doesn't, it's unlikely to be one of the well known brands.

I'd personally choose the Note 4 as the S5 hasn't had good reviews

Note 4 or 3...

Two days ago I bought a 30,000 amphr portable power pack for the equivalent of £12 here, not sure of the cost on Amazon but in this day and age a removable battery shouldn't dissuade you from buying any of the latest smartphones.
