It's just a provocation from Energizer, but it's real!

With phones with removable batteries, you could get extra large batteries with a replacement back cover. I had one for my Galaxy Nexus I'd slap on when I knew it'd be a long day.

Yep.

I used to carry spare batteries with my S4 - they were slim, so it was easy. So I had to reboot to swap the battery - no big deal

They still make kind of similar. It just goes over the USB C slot and also acts as a phone case.

Problem is that most of them sold are all pretty junky, aside from ZeroLemon ones. ZL already stopped making them for my N20Ultra.

Wow, that must have gotten 3 hours SoT!

I loved my Gnex but its endurance was poor.

Honestly that kind of turns your phone into a brick. With that being said companies shouldn't glue the battery in. If a user wants to replace it they should be able to get to the battery without having to pry it out.

It really wasn't that bad of a brick. Definitely still a bit of a brick and I received comments about it, but honestly you get used to it pretty quick.

Definitely not nearly as big as it would to put a power bank on the back of a modern phone over USB-C, maybe like 3-5mm more on the back side of the phone. It only doubled the battery thinkness, and that was a fairly thin phone to begin with.

You missed the opportunity to make everything rhyme with brick
