Either way you’re giving up some space to have a battery that’s easily replaced.
Barely.
It doesn't even have to be easily replaceable as in: on the go, so that I can switch out batteries during the day. That's really not important to me.
It just has to be user replaceable, so that I can switch it out at home, with normal tools, when the battery has degraded so much that the phone becomes unusable.
As things are, i have to throw a disproportionate amount of money at some shop to switch out a $10 part, or risk breaking the screen and digitizer when I disassemble the phone with a suction cup and hot gun, just so I can get at the glued down battery.
That's just ridiculous to me.
