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

Hey now, this only goes into effect from late February next year!

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

Also it is water resistant, is it not?

[โ€“] turdas@suppo.fi 7 points 1 month ago

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.
