@grips @LukeAlmighty i don't think my battery is soldered in, but with how they pack everything in you have to do a lot of shit to change it out. i really wish it was as simple as sliding a back cover off like it used to be.
thankfully i just buy the $200 motorolas, partially because they are so cheap and i don't do much on my phone, and partially because they actually still have sd card slots and headphone jacks. not that i use headphones on my phone often, but it's a really nice option to have.
