Yeah it seems unfortunate to me that the battery pack in that phone is not swappable. I really want a phone that takes swappable 18650's straight up. But, that Tank phone is (at least spec-wise) pretty impressive as a phone, because of the many sensors, cameras, built in video(?) light etc. A 22,000 mah battery pack that weighs 1.2lb and costs $300 would be a non-starter unless the phone is pretty good. I've gotta say the new 5g version ($400+ and several ounces heavier) seems almost silly.
I finally have a USB-C phone and it seems like a big improvement over the old micro USB. Will see if it stays able to reliably charge. That makes external battery packs easier to use, though there is still energy loss in the different voltage conversions, if you are charging the external pack from a low powered source such as a solar panel.
