I love how higher IP rating is always the argument, it looks like everybody in this planet is doing daily deep diving and needs its smartphone to do that 😅
Phones with IP67 or even IP68 exist with easily replaceable batteries.
My Galaxy XCover 6Pro has a removable battery (and headphone jack) and is ip68 rated
I have a Samsung Xcover (5, not 6) and this thing is such a breath of fresh air!
16:9 screen, audio jack, good USB-C, SD card, removable battery, physical shortcut button that's programmable to anything, decent performance (some newer phone games like Genshin don't run well, but emulated NDS games or Morrowind? Just fine!)
And this is SAMSUNG‽
Where's the world going‽
You'd think they'd figure out a way to have those high IP ratings and have removable batteries (they have afaik)
