Samsung is marketing their Galaxy S7 and S7 edge as water resistant, but if you can dunk the phone into a pool of water we would say it's more waterproof than resistant...
If you noticed the Galaxy S5 it also mentions that it's water resistant, but we wouldn't recommend dunking that phone in a pool of water...
The trade-off with making a phone "Waterproof" means that it has to be completely sealed which means you can't access the battery easily...
The S5 back panel comes off very simply and the battery comes right out, so you can have two batteries, one charging and one in use at all time...
The S7 doesn't give you this advantage which make the phone unappealing...or does it...
We have a phone that the battery is not accessible, but our phone is going on almost 4 years and still charges and works, not as good as it did the day we bought it, but it still works...
However, this doesn't matter because think about how many phones have came out in 4 years and the improvements and features that have attracted users to upgrade...
It's the "YOU CAN'T" syndrome that makes people anxious to get to the battery, but by the time you'll need to get to your battery it'll be time to upgrade your phone...
Phone contracts are typically 2 years and we can attest to the fact that our battery worked perfect for 2 years, the only thing that hasn't worked perfect is Microsoft keeping up with the demand, even with having their own phone development team in their back pocket...
This is the exception to the rule of changing your phone for a better one with a software that you are familiar with, but if you remember, nobody cared before...
Nokia was just a phone with some games on it, Motorola Razr phone was just a phone with some games on it, but these phones weren't bought for the games or the OS, they were bought simply for aesthetics only...
If you think about it the battery is the least of your worries at this stage of the game, because batteries are lasting much longer nowadays and if you go any bigger with the battery for the phone you risk explosion or fire from your phone...
The batteries have evolved and more than likely with the SoC or SOC (System on Chip) technology and 5ghz modems being integrated into the phone you'll see portable external batteries...
This is just a theory of ours, but what isn't a theory is the chargers that are needed to charge your phone batteries...
The Apple charger is over 70.00 dollars WOW FOR A CHARGER?! Yep, this is the money on phones for the future...
The problem you're going to have in the future is that your battery is going to outlast your phone and charger...
The other problem is that if you do upgrade your phone in two years will the charger be adaptable to the replacement phone...more than likely not...
More than likely they'll be an exchange program for your phone and chargers to help you with the purchase of your new phone and new home/car/solar chargers...
If you don't have the money you'll need an 800 credit score rating in order to finance your new purchase because it will be well over 1,000 dollars just for one phone and two chargers...
Plus with Windows restructuring of it's Operating System, people will now have more choices in the market and it's currently already happening...

As usual, Microsoft has paved the way for companies to enter the market and have given them a bunch of disconnected users just looking for something to plug into...
The only difference this time is they have taught Google to do the same thing considering that the reason Remix OS-based products came about is because Google failed with it's Pixel C 2-in-1 product...
So you see, there is so much more going on than just being able to replace your battery, so if you were on the fence already, F*#K it, Jump off and have some fun, because you're not getting any younger...and that's a fact!
