I ordered a Samsung EB-BJ700BBU for my PinePhone Pro, and I can confirm that it is a perfect fit after I peeled the entire black plastic piece off the bottom edge of the battery (opposite end from the electrical contacts). I didn't file the feet off, as that is not enough (you can tell by measuring the pack that it won't fit).
The black plastic strip is simply glued on and peels off pretty easily (do not puncture the battery pack with sharp tools!)
Once the black plastic strip is removed, the battery drops into the battery compartment in the back of the PPP effortlessly--it is not necessary to use force in any way.
I'm pretty happy with this, though I think Pine64 should change their official notice to say that the batteries for the Samsung J7 2015 phone are not actually usable without modification.
