    In fairness the removable battery came with a pretty significant tradeoff.

    Water resistance.

    Many would happily take a reduction in water resistance for replaceable batteries, the problem is no one gives us the choice

    EDIT: inaccurate statement. Fairphone offers removable batteries

      There are phones that give you this choice. The Fairphones for example. The back cover is easily removable and you can pop out the battery like in the ol’ days. It has an IP55 as far as I know.
