Funny how collective amnesia apply regarding the existence of IP68-rated smartphones with user-replaceable battery (eg. Sony XP 10, Samsung Galaxy S5, as far as I can recall).

in reply to isithran • • •The S5 was IP67, if Wikipedia is to be believed. 🤔 Close enough!
It was the last Galaxy S-series I bought before jumping ship to Apple. The gasket on the back cover (for the battery/storage card/SIM compartment) was really neat!
I totally did not see the end of the removable battery/MicroSD coming after seeing that. 😑

Basically two halves bolted together with actual screws, using standard heads, and an O-ring seal. Easy to open up, swap stuff, put back together.
