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.
One of the reviews I saw said the rebooting time was pretty fast
My Note 3 takes about 25 seconds to boot up completely. Newer devices tend to be faster booting up, so I don't think it will be a problem for the G5.
Never had that happen on any of my Nexuses (S, 4, 5X), outside of OS updates (which don't happen without you approving them).
Yep, ART really trashed boot time.
My LG G2 reboots in one minute. I would hope the G5 would be about the same.
Because that's definitely not hotswapping.
Is LG selling a battery charging dock?
