There is a similar design model that has lithium ion, but it's quite a bit more pricey. It's called the MultiShape and it has the flexibility of using it for other functions by detachable heads. I would caution you not to buy that one as a primary shaver. It's much weaker than than the one in this post, and the weakness carries through all its various uses. Also because it has more moving parts and detachable, I suspect it'll have more areas of failure.

It's too weak for my thick hairs.
Edit, it's notgood on long hair, you'd have to bring them down a bit first. Then this will give you a smooth shave. Move it slowly when you first get it, it cuts smooth.

TBH I just carefully rinse the blades and screen with water, then a spray of alcohol. Let it air dry and good to go.
made it as my traveling shaver, basically because it's my only one charged with USB-C.
i had hopes it will be my daily shaver,
but it lacks a trimmer and the foil & head feels fragile.
👆 bare in mind, every review is subjected to the reviewer types of hair, thickness, density & age (skin)
and doesn't necessary reflect on the performance you'll experience.
pros:
◾ closer shave than its rival, one blade
◾ powerful than its rival, one blade
◾ finally a good cleaning brush on a lower end model.
(Philips brushes are junk even on the premium models).
◾ long life span of the blades. According to the Arc3 heads, it should last 12-24 months.
◾ Charged with USB-C
◾ Can stand on it's thin base, which is cool. I don't know of any razor that can.
cons:
◾ performs miserably on my neck, thin hair with low density, as most do. need lots of passes ~20,
with my old Philips 9190 (Philips top model 15y ago with 3 rotating blades) it takes 10 and I never changed the blades.

◾ foil & head feels cheaply made.
◾ expensive replacement heads. cost triple than its rival, one blade ! ARC3 head cost ~30-40$ and lasts 12-24 months.
◾ only for face shaving, I see on other reviews that some like it for legs.
Although it can't be used for other tight & small areas such as eyebrows, ears, etc. like the rival one-blade can.
◾ No brand name, just a model number. Panasonic, the fact that the name OneBlade is occupied doesn't mean you can't come up with a cool name for this model. how about Arc Go. There you go, branding for free.
the head will brake fast on daily / weekly use cleaning. replacement heads are very expensive.
it's. a bit more powerful & quiet than the Philips one-blade.
You get a closer shave than the one-blade, but not as close as the lowest 3 heads model of major brands.
Overall, the one blade is still superior than this shaver and a better choice.
it's good for traveling, not suitable for daily / weekly use.
I still prefer the one-blade for daily use.
if it only had a trimmer and better build quality on the foil & head (which feels very cheaply made, once you take it apart for cleaning),
but then, no-one will ever buy the Panasonic Arc expensive shavers.
Although, i did adopt the cleaning brush for cleaning my other shavers (Philips, which supplies very poor brushes)
finally what will dictate this product life is the replacement heads price and the life span of each one.
According to the Arc3 heads it should last a year - 2 year on daily use 300-700 uses. I doubt that.
BTW, the one-blade lasts ~100 uses, if it doesn't falls apart before.
