▲ 1375 ▼ It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027 (www.androidauthority.com) submitted 3 years ago by reclipse@lemdro.id to c/android@lemdro.id 239 comments fedilink hide all child comments TL;DR The European Council has ended its adoption procedure for rules related to phones with replaceable batteries. By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise. The regulation intends to introduce a circular economy for batteries.
[–] Fritee@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago To add, I think the batter capacity of a fairphone is 3905 mAh while eg Pixel 7 has 4355 so the diff is only ~10% If I can replace a battery without throwing away the phone, I'd definitely be OK with 10% battery reduction permalink fedilink source parent
