And a lot of companies didn't provide water resistance phones until around 2014 when the Z3 was out, before that it was seen as a gimmick or a novelty feature that set Sony phones apart from the rest of the Android phones out there, now it's more mainstream and highly sought after which kinda explains why LG finally decided to go this route too.

    So they are 90% right.
    Either way, Sony is the one to thank to for waterproof phones. If they wouldn't have done them, no other brand would have that feature now - everyone is copying everyone nowadays.
    I don't care who copied who as long as they make it right.
    LG and HTC lost a LOT for not implementing that feature earlier.
    I'd ditch removable battery for waterproof in a heartbeat.

                      Aww where are the #NoPleaseNotMyRemovableBattery people going to go now? No more "Looks like my next phone will be an LG." on Samsung posts now at least. Good riddance.

                                      About a week ago there were rumors that LG G6 will have removable battery. (Unfortunately GSMArena didn't mention it.)
