The folks over at Pocketnow.com have published a nice story of how at a recent music festival in Chicago, Samsung was offering all Galaxy device owners a free battery replacement, all for a tweet that included a particular hashtag. What did the people get in exchange for a measly tweet? A fully recharged phone that they could use to continue taking pictures and videos and keep posting them on social networks, while folks using devices with built-in batteries probably had to go looking for a charging point.
Of course, not everyone visits such music festivals, but Samsung's marketing prowess clearly dictated how removable batteries have their merits in some situations. While we can't defend Samsung's choice of build materials, it seems manufacturers are taking the wrong approach towards making premium feeling and sleek devices, and that removable batteries are an endangered species.
Good move Samsung. Good move.
