How can Non-removable battery be no compromise? If you want the perfect phone removable battery is a must. Again if someone create this phone no one will buy it like they did with Samsung latest models... which is because it has the biggest compromise of all.
I was apprehensive when I bought my Huawei Ascend Mate2, in June of 2014. Non removable battery.
But, here it is almost 2 years later, and I could care less. 4,050mAH battery, lasts 2-3 days easy. 2 days with
super heavy use.
Yeah, if you have a sub 3,000mAH battery with a super dense screen, hot processor, play 3D games I could see the issue.
I don't play games on my phone. I'll run a LOT of web, mp3's (pandora), youtube, email, text & phone.
the 720p screen 6.1" works for me, nova launcher instead of the stock UI. Phone isn't rooted, stock rom 5.1
Phone, for my needs is PERFECT! All for less than $300 dollars.
I wish there were more mid rangers that work as good as this one.
The problem is people are conditioned to believing that they "need" a new phone ever year or every other year. Coming off the 2year contract crap in the U.S., people are mostly under the impression they MUST buy a phone from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, t-mobile etc.
Until that changes, people get tired of paying 700-1000 dollars for a stupid phone, the trend of "flagships" along with their inflated prices will continue. The bulk of users, DO NOT NEED that much processing power in a stupid phone, that they do not (mostly) multi task from. Twitter, FB, instagram and all of that social media BS, doesn't need that much processing power, but, people fall for it every year or so. I think it is more of the self absorbed young 20 somethings to 30 somethings doing the keep up with the Joneses than anything else.
