As technology advances and matures, it's only natural for some features to disappear as part of the evolution process. When it comes to Android phones, one thing that used to be an iconic staple that has since become a thing of the past is a removable battery. Few phones are released these days with a battery that can be replaced by the end user, but if you know where to look, there are still a few options left that are worth checking out. Here they are!

Our pick

Moto E5 Play

One of the best budget phones on the market is the Moto E5 Play, and in addition to having a user-replaceable battery, it also has a ton of other features that make it worth checking out. The 5.2-inch HD display looks pretty good for the price, Alexa is built-in if you get the Prime Exclusive version, and the Snapdragon 425 is plenty powerful for normal apps and games.

The Nokia 1 is by far the cheapest phone on this list. It's also one of the cheapest Android phones around. Period. For just under $60, the Nokia 1 delivers a 1.1GHz quad-core processor, 8GB of expandable storage up to 128GB, a 5MP rear camera, 4.5-inch LCD display, and Android Go. It's not the prettiest or the fastest phone around, but it sure does get the job done.
