MODERATORS
I thought glass phones were for wireless charging, which I've associated with difficult battery replacement, though maybe that is coincidence. I decided against some older Pixel phones because ifixit rated battery replacement as difficult. My old and new Android phones both have plastic backs. Old phone is fairly easy (undo a lot of tiny little screws, replace battery, replace screws). New one is more difficult (heat edge of phone and pry apart) but I think it is not as bad as some. Will see how it goes when the time comes.
I think Pixels may be the exception. But I myself have done Xiaomi, Huawei, LG and Samsung battery replacements amd honestly they are pretty easy. However expect to get replacement back glass as well as they break very easily.
Hmm interesting. Did those have wireless charging? That is a cool feature that I'd like to have, other stuff being equal.
yes and no. It doesn't really matter. Removing the wireless charging coil is really easy.
Thanks.
