>removable battery It's not really worth the extra few mAh for a battery you can't replace, considering that in a few months it will wear out and you quickly lose that advantage. User replaceable batteries allow you to put in a fresh battery every year, meaning you can take full advantage of the battery capacity regardless of how old the phone is. >IR Blaster The IR blaster is one of the most used apps on my V20. It can control anything from my circa-1980s stereo system to my modern surround sound AVR. And all without any proprietary apps which never get updated or having to connect to WiFi! I've put all my remotes in a drawer and forgot about them because I can do it all from my phone. I think this feature would get a lot more use if it was included on more phones, considering an IR LED is about $0.01 to include. Why do "smart" devices resort to overcomplicated and insecure Bluetooth/WiFi control interfaces when we had this problem solved since the 80s? Waterproofing is a poor excuse. Most phones that removed these features are not waterproof. Samsung themselves proved that you can have all these things in a waterproof phone with the Galaxy S5.
