There was no glue, you just popped out the back panel and took the battery out with your fingers in 5 seconds. On the other hand, it did have a plastic cap on the micro USB port which you had to open every time in order to charge it. I'm not sure if this was a limitation of micro USB (or whatever the Samsung-specific extension next to it was) - modern phones with open USB C ports seem to have no problem being waterproof.

Tangentially, the S5 had a USB 3.0 micro b port[1]. It was not Samsung specific, but it was not widely used either. [1] https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-3-0-Cable-Male/dp/B00NH13G5A https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-3-0-Cable-Male/dp/B0...
