FYI the latest range Samsun smart phones (Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and Note 7) all have integrated batteries that can’t be removed by the user as per previous models. The case is sealed to enable the ‘water proof’ feature of these devices.
No doubt it will be possible to force open the phone and remove the battery, but not sure if the shop will accept a broken/incomplete Note 7 back. Also in light of EK's latest advisory notice on their website regarding Note 7, I wonder if they would allow a dismantled device on the plane.
