However some phones nowadays are completely single use. They fall apart if you try to repair them. It sucks, but still a phone with poor repairability is better than a phone that sucks out of the box.

As if such phone would ever exist. Make a choice bruhh. And you gonna complain if the price is too high aren't you. Nitpicking at everything. Just go make your own phone.

A... more...that self-destructs when you try to pry it off the internal chassis (pull tabs are going the way of 3.5 jacks and removable stuff, it appears) -- you probably bought a new batt on Ali beforehand because the original one lost a good 1500 mAh in 1 1/2 yrs -- after having already wasted a full hour performing a shaman ritual with a hair dryer to release the glue which holds the back panel in place :P Not an issue with this kind of phones but the LG G8 for one was a bit horrifying. And many believe it to be a consumer-oriented device unlike iPhones and even the newest Onepluses. Not the first one on the market that is an a...s to hack into but when LG starts pulling such shenanigans, you know the utter disposability is becoming another trend -_-

A... moreWell it's aimed for people who want a durable phone for longterm usage - if the battery is not removable and it's sealed in the device, once the battery dies you need to force yourself in the device and lose the IP rating in the process.
That being said though, I'm still going to wait for Xcover 5 instead, with hopefully more improvements. Since this is just a refresh of previous generation, I'm keeping fingers crossed we'll get X cover 5 next year

Anyway, its main issue is not even the battery but the size. If a phone can't be comfortably operated with one hand in all conditions it's not an outdoors phone.

Good for people who go on hiking, camping etc otherwise there are much better phones in this range.
