Didn't knew until today that there are 7000 mAh batteries which can fit in samsung phones, interesting. Why do you think the companies are not going for these kind of batteries in the first place?

Fashion, mostly. Skinny jeans and thick smartphones are a problem.

Also the mentality that thinner==better being mainstream.

What boggles my mind is companies like LG, who offer phones with replaceable batteries not selling their own high-capacity batteries. Maybe they fear people will see someone with the extended battery and believe that is the regular phone?
