    The Samsung Galaxy S5 was IP67 rated and had a removable battery, MicroSD card slot, and headphone jack.

    A better waterproofing rating could be obtained with a screwed-on back panel and gasket. But phone manufacturers are lazy and would rather you buy a new phone when the battery wears out.
