I want that too but just make it smaller. I don't want a giant screen burning through battery and just thinner by taking away battery. Work on x and y first, then maybe z.

The battery life is a non issue for me so far.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

honestly though how much battery do you need on an average day?

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

With how much we depend on the phone for everything, I need a phone that covers 99% of the days, not just the average.

For being in the office working, 90 min of active usage gets me to the next charger.

What about going it's out with the family, taking lots of photos and videos, using the maps+GPS...?

Also, battery degrades. One that barely covers today will be lacking in 1.5 years. Small battery is a form of planned obsolesce.

I'm not worried about average days.
