After all the battery fiasco, I feel like Samsung's new battery tech used in S8 and Note 8 is really getting overlooked.

The battery will retain 95% of its capacity after two years. This is considerably less wear than the batteries currently widely used (typically 80% after 2 years). In a year to two years time it will help significantly with the performance of the device ie. no early shutdowns, no sudden percentage changes.

Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
