Maintenance is never free, so im okay with a service fee every four years rather than buy new phones every time they get wet. Im not saying my particular view is right for everyone, but its what I want. I get why people want replaceable batteries. No problem with it. I just would rather not have them. So if there is an option for both models, one with, and one without that feature, this is a win for everyone. If not, and only one or the other is implemented, then its going to suck for whoever is in the party that got left out.
Aren’t you being purposefully obtuse by refusing to consider the idea of a battery swappable phone that is IP68 certified? Its almost certainly going to happen with the line of phones in Europe that will have swappable batteries and it’s not even that far into the future.
I think this post is about change moving forward, not making sure our past decisions were sound.
Oh forgive me. I wasn’t aware this device existed. Very good. Unfortunate its an Samsung phone, so it probably doesn’t meet the requirements to run GrapheneOS.
But good to see it can have a replaceable battery and be IP68 rating.

Im refusing to accept the idea because it doesn’t exist. Who manufactures one?
Samsung.
