There are lots of niche androids. The fair phone does have a replaceable battery.
As the context of this debate is ewaste, giving up water resistance can reasonably be assumed to increase ewaste.
- walterbell 4y ago> giving up water resistance can reasonably be assumed to increase ewaste Sacrificing repairability on 100% of phones causes more waste than the tiny percentage of phones that cannot be repaired after water damage? Current phones are water-resistant in varying degrees by IP rating, they are not waterproof. What's the number one remedial action that people took when their Nokia or Blackberry fell into water? Remove the battery to avoid an electrical short. This mitigation is not possible on an iPhone or Pixel.
