Thats why I like phones with large batteries. My 15,000mah phone is currently at 22%, but that'll last me the rest of the day easy.

    What phone has that large of a battery? Is it pretty large in general? My oneplus 12 has 5400mah and I thought that was pretty decent.

    That is a Nokia P-30. I believe it's something more akin to pleather or rubber, though it might just be a slightly different type of plastic. It's ridged to provide better grip, since these early cell phones were quite heavy.

    Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra. Its in the category of "rugged phones" Weighs a full pound. But has every bell and whistle you can think of. Headphone jack, waterproof, dual sim card, Infrared blaster so you can use it as a universal remote, 15,000 mah battery (a little over 3 days of normal use) with reverse charging (I can charge my wifes iphone with it), massive speaker, and theres an antenna you can screw in to make it into a walkee talkee, also its about half the price of any mainstream phone.

    It uses Mediatek processor instead of snapdragon, so its not top of the line, but definitely more than capable. Its also made by a chinese company. So you can add that to the list of people spying on your phone usage. Also they get security updates, but no version updates. So whatever version of Android it comes with will be the only one itll ever use. My model is a couple years old. Newest one replaces the walkee talkee for a projector.

    I have an Armor 24 with 22Ah battery.

    BUT, some warning. Nearly 5 months ago, Kaspersky found malware baked into firmware of many Chinese devices: https://securelist.com/keenadu-android-backdoor/118913/

    Unfortunately, they did not provide device list, but my Armor 24 was also affected. libandroid_runtime.so didn't trigger the detection, but QuickStep APK (launcher and navigation) was flagged when checking with VirusTotal.
    There was an OTA update which removed this, though as usual with Ulefone, the updates will bring new bugs. Thankfully this got fixed before the Android 15 update which I heard is quite buggy.

    That makes sense. I have side eyed those type of phones but I really need something that fits in my pockets better, and I hate not getting version updates. Security updates are nice but once a version gets too old those stop too.

    To be fair my pixel got the update to android 17 and I didn't notice a single thing that changed. Then again they get 7 years of version updates so the start vs the eol version will be a much bigger gap.

    The reason I skipped past those rugged phones fast was not the mayor version updates, but the fact that security updates end way too early. A quick lookup says they don't even publish eol dates which is jikes.

    I had a phone that I loved, Cosmo Communicator, and it never received a version update. The version shipped was already one behind, and after a few years apps started to not work on the thing. The Linux dual boot was also kind of jank, so its mostly a paperweight for me now. I don't care as much about os changes as I do about app updates for some things.

    That machine would have been so awesome if it had been handled properly. I was so disappointed when I saw that it was going nowhere.

    The hardware was decent, but the company behind it seemed to want to ship a new device every 9 months instead of supporting something long term. It would have been nice if they were a little more open so that the community could do something with it.

    Are you the one with the phone the size of a network switch which shipped with a rootkit installed from factory? I saw a post about that recently.

    People were like "why?" And the response was "the battery lasts a week on one charge"
