The old Samsung Galaxy S5 was waterproof and had a user-replaceable battery, so your argument doesn't hold water.
- Gigachad 2y agoWaterproofing isn't a yes/no feature. Modern phones are way more waterproof and dust resistant than the S5. The plastic back on the S5 would quickly develop cracks that would let water in.
- shiroiushi 2y agoSure, it wasn't perfect, but it showed that it can be done, and it's not particularly difficult either. An improved design could have a metal back panel instead of plastic, it could use screws instead of plastic snaps, etc. (And with most people using cases, who cares about visible screws?)
- qup 2y agoIf it's waterproof and you get the water on the inside, it should in fact hold water
- Schiendelman 2y agoIt was really not waterproof. It was IP67, which is far from the IP68 almost all phones have today. https://phandroid.com/2014/04/21/galaxy-s5-ip67-meaning/ https://phandroid.com/2014/04/21/galaxy-s5-ip67-meaning/
