Does anyone know if there is anything currently on the market, or should wait when it is expected within the next year they will start to phase out the cheaper smart phones with replaceable batteries such as nokia c02 and replace that with a 5g replaceable battery version?
Recommend 5G Phone with Replaceable Battery?

- Why do you think 5G matters to you?
- by replaceable you mean with a screwdriver when it dies, or with your hand when it goes flat?
My not so clear crystal ball says to me…….wait for a year and you get the answer if anything is expected to happen.

https://ruggedcomputing.com.au/samsung-galaxy-xcover-6-pro-6…Nokia G42, it's fairly easy to remove (just clips and screws, no glue). It's worth the extra price anyway since it'll get more OS updates and is leaps and bounds above the C02. The battery will be the least of your worries with the C02.
There is battery adhesive on G42 according to this.

Will you be able to get a quality replacement battery in however many years you need it?
It's a got a Snapdragon processor but no LineageOS custom ROM available. Doubt if there are any other custom ROMs for it. Security updates only 2 years.
