I think its good of LG to design a phone that is good for the environment in the sense that users can swap the battery and upgrade the storage instead of having to buy a whole new phone when those run out of capacity.

Global warming dictates that we as consumers not only our politicians are responsible for the future we create. If manufacturers can help make devices that last longer I´m going to choose such a device the next time I buy a phone.

I think its bold of LG to think differently and stick out of the crowd of similar phones. Like that you can upgrade the storage capacity via MicroSD cards.

I agree, I think phone manufacturers should be punished for not making batteries replaceable and contributing to waste. Having a few screws to get to a battery is OK but gluing it in such a way that it requires special tools is just idiotic. Same goes for laptops.
