Are you talking about the S5? It has a removable battery and has an IP67 rating so it should definitely be watertight.

  >It has a removable battery and has an IP67 rating so it should definitely be watertight. Yes, there is a mechanical cover which keeps the very small battery away from moisture. The risk with these mechanical covers is that they deform under pressure and let water enter. It is difficult engineering challenge and anecdotally it didn't work that reliably. Glueing phones makes the engineering simpler as it removes the need for any kind of screws and mechanical locking mechanism, instead all electrical conponents can be fit very tightly into the interior of the phone.
