Again, It'll Last the Whole Day

Oh, old Nexus 5! Our relationship has gone on for more than three and a half years. You are becoming desperately out of date, but I still love you. I should leave you behind and take up with another. I know that. However, were it not for your failing battery life, I could live with you for a while longer.



Today I took steps to continue using my Nexus 5 for a while longer. Unlike the Nexus One, the model 5 did not sport a removable battery. Well, in fact, not much in life is completely un-removable. Google and LG certainly didn't design it to make it as easy though. I got the $12 order from Amazon in my mailbox this morning. So, I have just replaced the original battery with a brand new one. It was not rocket-science and took around five minutes, most of which was time spent looking for the tiny screwdriver set.
