Initially it was rumored the battery would be water resistant and removable by the user but I now only see indicators for water resistance.

no it is not. please give this up, there will never be another flagship samsung phone with a easily replaceable battery.

Well it's true but if the consumer wants then they can push manufacturers to produce products with replaceable battery in flagship phone!

Started with an iPhone 4 in 2011 and i have yet to have this happen (including my two note 7's).

I couldn't find anything for the s8 but the s6 was $45 to replace the battery. The s8 will probably cost more but still much less than replacing the phone
