I agree, having to swap your battery is a pain in the ass, but even with a good battery life in the days it's nice to have that option as a backup.

The main attractive of a swappable battery, to me, is replacing it 2 after 2 years of use.

Seriously? I do not understand this logic. Having to plug my phone in and wait 10 mins for it to allow me to turn it on is a pain. Running out of power in the middle of the day is a pain.

Forgetting to plug it in overnight and having no power for the day is a pain.

The <1 minute it takes me to swap the battery, even with the pretty primitive mechanism in the S4, is a total breeze.

I don't even bother plugging my phone in at night anymore really - because I know in the morning I can swap batteries and be out the door with full power.
