Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro 4G. From 2022 but there are newer models. So stop saying HUR HUR WATER RESISTANCE when people ask for phones with swappable batteries. This shows it can be done.
Edit: was $120, now sold out.
Too bad it’s samsung. Never again will samsung see a dime from me
What happened?
Currently I’m using a Pixel 8 and I’ll wait to buy the next model when EU obligate them to sell the phone with swappable battery
People vastly misinterpreted this EU ruling. Having pull tabs, or the new thing Apple is doing, is already enough to be in line with the requirements. Since the phones have water resistance, they are technically designed to work under water, thus they aren’t required to have an easily accessible battery cover.

Oh, so a device that offers no warranty in case of water damage (because you’re not supposed to expose it to water) can use an IP certification as a loophole to completely avoid this law? That’s not good
