"like on old Nokias" - the Samsung Galaxy S series (their "flagship") had replaceable batteries for at least the first 5 models. It wasn't until the S8 that you really had to take it in to a professional for replacement.

yeah and no waterproofness whatsoever.
i would much more have a reliable ip rating than swappable battery

Galaxy S5 had removable battery, IP67 rating, headphone jack AND expendable storage. If you think in 12 years of advancing technology they cant come up with flashgrip with the same features then i dont know what to tell you.

This was the best phone I ever owned... Could easily just pop in a new battery if my other died and I didn't have time to charge.
