Just take out the battery and keep it plugged in?

Unlike laptops, many phones simply won't turn on without a battery connected.

Is that so with new phones? Last I tried with a Samsung S5, it did work.

It's common, and especially so on devices that don't have batteries which are intended to be user-removable - which is pretty much all new phones.
