Among the many changes, the new rules would require batteries in consumer devices like smartphones to be easily removable and replaceable. That's far from the case today...

        From what I understand it doesn’t have all the right bands to work well in the USA. Also I’m not sure IP54 is enough to use the phone in a rainstorm which I do pretty often. Didn’t realize it was that low.
