Last year, the HTC-built Pixel XL showed us a novel way to remove an adhered battery—a perforated outer label let you pull the battery out of its shell, then easily peel off the rest of the label.

This year, it seems LG's industrial design doesn't include any provisions for easily removing the battery. (RIP, ye olde LG.)

This battery holds 13.6 Wh (3520 mAh at 3.85 V), slightly more than last year's 13.28 Wh.

That's roughly on-par with the 13.48 Wh power pack in Samsung's Galaxy S8+, and considerably more than the 10.28 Wh the iPhone 8 Plus manages to get away with.
