Same for me, locked bootloader is basically useless. Fortunately, from 2027 batteries must be replaceable in the EU. I guess it may have an impact on other regions in the world as well.
I wonder if manufacturers will be allowed to say “waterproof until battery is replaced the first time” or if they’ll still be waterproof even with a replaceable battery.
I had always heard it was hard to make those waterproof.
No. But I would love a replaceable battery.
Samsung Galaxy XCover series does both.
Sadly, Samsung doesn’t allow bootloader unlocks… so yea its a hard pass for me 🤷♂️ (also, spec to price ratio is horrible)
