I held onto my older GalaxyNote for this very reason. During the good times of PokeGo it was like having a super power to just switch out my battery and be back to 100%.

Interesting.
I remember struggling to find a phone with replaceable battery. The galaxy S3 was good because of this. "We can't make the battery replaceable, otherwise the phone won't be waterproof", yeah that was bullshit.
This will make the phone more expensive and this is totally fine and expected.
I've missed swappable batteries so much. The convenience of having another loaded battery with you, increased drop resistance due to parts flying, replaceability. So good.
If you're worried of water resistance, get a water-proof case or be more careful with the device costing you possibly hundreds of dollars.
I feel like if a device is designed well there doesn't need to be a tradeoff. Removable batteries and water resistant would be amazing.
