Samsung Will Unveil the Galaxy S9 Next Month At Mobile World Congress (theverge.com)

Samsung will unveil its next flagship handset, the Galaxy S9, next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC). DJ Koh, the company's smartphone chief, confirmed the launch to ZDNet at CES yesterday without offering a specific date. The Verge reports: The S9 (and, presumably, an S9 Plus) will be the successors to the S8 and S8 Plus, which launched at a Samsung event in New York last March before going on sale in April. The S8 and its bigger brother were a hit with critics, who praised the phones' gorgeous design and brilliant cameras. The phones were even good enough to make consumers forget about the disaster of the Galaxy Note 7 and its exploding batteries. Not much is known about the Galaxy S9 at this point, though we're not expecting any radical departures from the S8. A handful of leaked renders suggest it will look near-identical to its predecessor, with a slight tweak moving the rear fingerprint sensor to below the camera (rather than its current, awkward position of off to one side).

So buy a Galaxy Rugby or something.

I mean, or don't, its not like you "should" by Samsung vs a MotoG a whatever else. But its not like they don't make a phone that meets your stated requirements.

Or a Galaxy Xcover 4. Removable battery, Android 7, LTE, IP68, MIL-STD-810G compliant

Instead of whining and complaining about lack of choice when a new flagship phone is announced, perhaps you could look at the entire range. Makes you look like a retard.
