I recently picked up a refurbished LG V20 for cheap ($280 USD) and am really pleased with it.  The removable battery was one of the key features for me.  I also like that LG allows one to alter the "soft buttons" at the bottom of the screen, selecting which buttons and in what order they appear.  It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

One downside is the circular power button on the back of the phone, in that without a case it is hard to find without looking.  But a case will solve that annoyance. 

One thing to know is that the top and bottom of the screen are slightly curved, meaning that a glass screen protector cannot cover the entire screen surface.  That has not been an issue for me, however.

Do you keep a replacement battery in store? Or is there another argument for having a removable battery?

Having one in store, and/or having the ability to do so, I'd think.  If your battery unexpectedly has problems, you don't really have a choice other than to replace the entire phone on most current devices.

Having a few spare, charged batteries available when I travel is a real plus.  I can go longer without having the phone tethered to a wall socket.  I recently went on a week-long camping trip, and with four spare batteries on hand (that combined still weighed less than an external phone-charging battery) I never needed to worry about trying to find some place to charge my phone overnight.

Well, that's a valid argument indeed, but I'd expect needing that on camping trips only. And I don't do camping trips

I have one of these devices, and it can ... jump start a car

I'm impressed --
have you ever had occasion to try it ?

It probably brews his morning coffee as well

or he plugs in to it ;-)

I posted about the one I have here: http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=32886.msg413317#msg413317

In the morning he puts the charged batteries in his pocket.  In the evening he puts the spent ones on the induction charger.

Sounds like he needs a phone that's better at battery management.

I am having a strange and serious problem with my Redmi Pro 3. I call my voicemail number and it asks me to enter my phone number. But while being on call, I cannot enter the + sign! The + appears below 0 in the keyboard, but holding the 0 does not type the +! It seems I am only allowed to enter digits during a call! Is there a solution for this?

In the UK it'll be 07..........

But the question is why it asks for the number in the first place, it should be getting it from the SIM directly, eg. I only have to dial 101, (or #101#, or reply with a blank SMS), to access VoiceMail and that's in any country.  Just have to ensure you're dialing out from the SIM that matches the VoiceMail you're trying to connect to.

Type it in another app using the standard keyboardlayout, like whatsapp, select and copy the number, then paste it where you need it.

I'm also looking for a new android phone. Is there any suggestion, I will use for working only, but it needs to run fast, quality camera, call for long hours. My budget is 300 dollar 

It would help if you gave a country, not all mobile networks are the same, ie. the bands available in one country might not be available in another thus limiting what model to buy and where from.

Quality camera in a phone less than $300 isn't going to be easy unless you buy a previous (older) flagship model.

Dual SIM
External Storage (Hybrid slot or dedicated in the case of Dual SIM)
Sensors (eg. Gyroscope, eCompass, etc)

From my earlier post:

Work out what you want to do with the phone, then work out what functions the phone has to have to fulfil them.
eg.

• If you're going to take 360⁰ photo spheres with the camera, then it has to have gyroscope.
• If you want photo metadata that shows which direction you were facing when you took the photo, then it requires a compass.
• If you want to play games that require tilting/moving the phone, then it has to have an accelerometer.
• If you want to navigate, it has to have a GPS receiver.
• If you just like playing with gadgets, get everything.
• etc

I currently use a Moto G5 Plus (AU version link, other countries have different specs), battery lasts two days (probably three if I didn't play games on it), Quick Charge 2.0 for fast charging, Dual SIM + dedicated uSD slot (4G/3G on the SIMs), pretty close to stock Android which makes it fast, can use the fingerprint scanner as single button navigation (no need for Back, Home, Recent buttons), camera is decent (same sensor as the Samsung S7), 4K video, NFC (great for Android Pay), network unlocked, and it cost less than AU$300 (~US$230).

I'm also looking for a new android phone. Is there any suggestion, I will use for working only, but it needs to run fast, quality camera, call for long hours. My budget is 300 dollar  . But I don't really Samsung pretty much.

I've had the Moto X Pure/Style for close to two years, it's a pretty solid device. And since it's a few years old you can probably get it for cheaper.

Just a few days ago I took the plunge into the world of custom ROMs and installed LineageOS. Much faster and more responsive, thus far. Not saying I recommend it for everyone but if you do get it you have that option.
