They also make a big deal about "Qualcomm® support until 2036" but the battery is not replaceable. So in reality, 4-5 years of use tops?

Man, I didn't even notice that my first looksy on it. Yeah, that killed any type of interest I would have even if they made a cheaper version. Like, an enthusiast grade that doesn't allow you to replace the battery. Yeah, they're shooting themselves in the foot just from the start.

Doesn't matter much, they will not be able to sell it in the EU without a replaceable battery.
