Title: Smart Phone Batteries in products sold in the EU must be removable at 2027
Post by: Kiriakos GR on June 07, 2026, 12:28:06 PM

Under the EU’s Batteries Regulation, portable batteries in products sold in the EU must generally be removable and replaceable by consumers.
This requirement helps extend products’ lifetime by allowing battery replacements and supports recycling by making it easier to collect used batteries. 

Mobile phones this is no exception, and all major brands, now switching back to removable battery concept.

Artificial intelligence as a tool, this is also able to perform a bit of spying work.

I asked the question, which brands thinking ahead so them to comply at the latest EU regulation?
And I received instead the shocking answer:  All brands out there Samsung, Google and others, all trying to bypass these EU restrictions.

I started my hunting for finding information's of upcoming mobile phone models.
I am content creator, its in my nature, to search and discover something new and worthy of fresh technology. 

Now I have turn mad, and or become angry, and I am making new thoughts, that eventually us the European citizens we are obligated to boycott every moron whom trying to avoid EU compliance.

In the end of the day, do not worry Samsung, you may still sale your overpriced mobile phones of 1500$ US price tag, in Africa.
