One of the biggest regrets regarding the technological (and aesthetic) renewal process of today’s smartphones concerns the abandonment of the much appreciated removable batteries. The convenience of being able to easily replace a battery at the end of its life with a new one is a feature that most of us won’t mind having back on smartphones. But there is a manufacturer that could retrace its steps and bring this feature back to life, at least on low-end models
That manufacturer is Samsung, which according to a recent leak could be thinking of equipping a future entry-level device with a removable battery. As can be seen from the photo in the gallery, the model in question is identified with the model number SM-A013F. It is believed that the model may launch as Galaxy A01e.
Samsung used to release its phones with a removable battery. Even when other OEMs had switched to non-removable cells, Samsung’s entry-level models were still shipping with removable batteries. We recall the Tizen-powered Samsung Z series were all launched with removable batteries. However, there isn’t a recent release with such feature but with this leak, there’s is the possibility of a return of removable battery soon.
Going to the bottom, in fact, it was discovered that the SM-A013F code is a model in development, with a 3,000mAh battery and 16/32 GB of internal memory. Perhaps, Samsung is listening to the yearnings of its fans with this discovery. We expect the release of this model to trigger a chain reaction among phone manufacturers. It would be fun to have such design on low-end and even mid-range models which usually don’t have IP ratings.
