ZTE Axon 7: A surprise flagship contender

Re: Little to dislike.. except for the non removable battery

What phone DOES have a removable battery anymore? Seriously, the only CURRENT one I can even think of is the LG G5. And if you don't like that device, then you're pretty stuck. Unless you restrict yourself to buying older phones (which would pretty much ALSO have to be from LG. I'm thinking the G4 & V10). Are you content with limiting yourself to one manufacturer like that? I agree that a removable battery would be ideal, but barely anyone is making phones with these anymore. Sooner or later, you're going to have to accept the current trend in manufacturing.

Re: Yet another landfill flagship

I understand your point, but almost no smartphone manufacturers make phones with removable batteries anymore. In fact, off the top of my head, I can only think of one: LG. And if it has to be waterproof, that would limit you even more. I'm guessing you have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, as the S6 Active doesn't have a removable battery. Am I correct? If so, what are you going to get when it's time to upgrade? I'm not sure what you seek is even manufactured anymore.
