The phone has a No Battery Mode, allowing it to run without a battery when plugged into the USB-C port.
Both devices have removable battery. But, the Xcover 7 has a No battery Mode as a pro alongside being IP68 rated.

Good, now make a smaller one with the same specs.
These devices are already niche as they are. It’s unlikely they would make a similar one in a smaller form factor.
Motorola, sony, and even samsung made smaller versions of these before. I had a moto defy, sony acro s, sony xperia z3 compact and z5 compact personally. The last 2 ish generations of phones with ip ratings, headphone jacks, and expandable storage have all been 6.3+ inches with the possible exception of the cat or bullet phones and the oddball chinese ones. Don’t get me wrong, this is a step in the right direction for a lot of reasons but I am really over 6+ inch phones. They don’t fit well in pockets, they are less user friendly with 1 hand, and don’t offer significantly more features anymore.
Agree. But, they don’t appear to be bothering with small phones for now. It could change in the future with market saturation. But, not now.
