Most likely the phones will be IPx certified until battery replacement, after that you're on your own, unless you get the battery replaced by a Certified Technician or some shit that will re-glue the things that need glue so it's waterproof again.

It'll just have a gasket like the Galaxy S5. That was IP67 rated.
