My Note 3 is a Samsung, but from what I've seen the only new phones that have replaceable batteries are certain models from LG. Everyone else has gone the "sleeker is better" or "waterproofing is easier with sealed units" (not that they're ever waterproof) or some other trendy mantra.

I bought bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime as a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy S3 (which I think is running Android 4, as Samsung refused to provide upgrades on the grounds the phone wasn't capable of running later versions of Android) where the back was removable as it had to be as the phone is packaged without the battery installed, so the back has to be removed to insert the battery and the sim card. Also I've never had a Samsung phone where the back was not removable, because like the one I have now, all my previous Samsungs were distributed in the retail stores with the battery and sim card not installed in the phone. The only limitation on the battery not being replaceable is the stores that specialize in selling batteries not having one to fit the phone.
