It doesn't seem consumer friendly to me. Aside from laptop, phone is five years old, replaced (consumer serviceable) battery twice (<$20), re-soldered USB connector once because of worn-out charging ($5, bought on ebay, don't have a solder, friend did it), replaced screen once due to a crack on screen and heavy rain. SD card of course so 8GB phone boosted by very affordable 64GB. Phone was less than $300, upfront no plan, when new.

Very consumer friendly phone.

When counterfeit batteries can explode and cause serious injury or death, I consider any measures to have the device reject counterfeit batteries consumer-friendly.
