I'm not a fan of the new battery and back panel.

I've got a Fairphone 4 and the most useful thing about it is the replaceable battery. I can't count the number of times an extra battery in my backpack has saved me.

Sure, maybe it's not that big of a deal to bring a screwdriver with me as well. But I just know I'm going to lose those tiny screws and changing the battery at the back of a taxi goes out the window.

That screw in the battery is strange. Old Nokia phones had no issues with batteries falling out.

The only time the battery has disconnected on the FP4 for me was when I dropped it from a fairly high distance.

Popped it back in and booted and went on my way.
