Which doesn't really indicate what battery life is going to be like.

Do elaborate please. (Not /s)
We don't know how much power the phone actually draws in use.
but also, having a weak battery life also creates demand for the battery packs.

if they're hotswappable and somewhat affordable, I think people will have no issue buying the packs and swapping during the day as needed.

The article stays the phone goes dead and reboots when changing modules.
And this is a problem because?
Because (at least on my Moto X 2012, Android v5.1 Lollipop) rebooting can take upwards of ten minutes. Some OTA updates apparently trigger an 80-some-odd module "optimizing" run, which I presume is ART doing its AOT thing. If you're in a hurry to use your phone this can be maddening.
Because that's definitely not hotswapping.
Is LG selling a battery charging dock?
