    Well by law they need to provide replacable battery if the phone is not water resistant, so yeah, they pretend making phone in accordance to law is a feature

      Having a replaceable battery is not an excuse for lack of water resistance.

      Also it is water resistant, is it not?

        It is in the law. Or rather, an IP68 rating allows you to have a non-replaceable battery as long as the battery is rated to last at least 1000 cycles at >80% capacity.

        Fairphone 6 has an IP55 rating. Some resistance to water spray but can’t be submerged.
