Exactly this.
My first waterproof smartphone was a Motorola Defy+ from, I think, 2011. Dustproff, submersible, hardened. I put it through it's paces, too, it got absolutely battered and I regularly filmed underwater with it.
The battery was removable behind a panel on the back that could be opened with a single sliding clip. It took far longer for the phone to boot up than it did to actually swap the battery and no tools were needed.
