Samsung hit it out of the park with the S7 IMO, if it had removable battery it would be even better, but then I suppose it would be the same "cheapy" plastic backing as previous phones, and would be much harder to make water resistant.
Yeah, now that you mention it, the S7 is just marginally bigger than the S5 (REALLY marginally) but it's a creep that I don't need. They didn't need to sacrifice the replaceable battery to make it water resistant, my S5 Active has both, but I think the move to conformable batteries is how they get more energy density so they can get more mAh and keep the package thin. In any event, I just can't see paying the extra money to "upgrade" my phone again after only 2 years -- but then I'm a cheap bastage.
