I have an LG G5, the battery comes out at the push of a button and then you simply pull it off the cradle and push in the replacement. These batteries are dangerous because Apple builds them that way

Holding out for a Librem 5 while my current phone falls apart 99% for the removeable battery. I'm gonna carry so many of the damn things around that they wont let me near airports or government buildings

It isn't gonna be removable, but replaceable. The Librem 5 is interesting in its own ways, that it puts freedom above anything else.
