My Samsung easily does a day. Give it a full charge every night. Normally only down to 40%.

Have a Sony Xperia for work phone and it’s been alright.

The new One Plus 8 phones are worth looking at.

S8 Samsung I'm currently using still does best part of a day using it for work and internet/email. Normaly goes on charge early evening. I've had Samsung for years and they've always been knackered within 2 years this ones the best yet.

I periodically shut all the apps running so they're not in the background running. That helps a lot.

My S8 does half day max

I had a note 10 that would struggle to do a day

My CAT phone serves me well. Very robust , waterproof, will go comfortable 3 days without charging. ?

Do you carry a small battery bank for a quick charge I have 2 gets the phone battery back up 40-50% very quickly.

I think I will try honur next. currently sim only on a s8 plus that's 2 year 3 months ish old.

Not a huge fan of Sony and hate the iPhone I have for work would go Samsung but there pricey for the higher specs

Had HTC for the last three phones and like them a lot. The user interface just seems to work well for me.

You must be using a lot of powerful apps to not even last a day. If your watching a lot of sky go that will probably be it. A newer samsung would probably be as good as any, I doubt any of the new phones will be significantly better than any other under high battery use. I would suggest find your power banks being the better option. My Samsung Galaxy S9 will last a whole day but I have chargers in every tractor, telehandler, truck, by my computer (wireless charging stand) and by my bed and i have a power bank so it can always be charged wherever I am.

had HTCs since 2010, really like them, but they have sold most if not all of their smart phone tech and staff to google.

For a no nonsense android look into the Android One line of phones, a few manufacturers do them. The manufacturers have made an agreement with Google not to add their horrible software and other "bloatware", I believe carriers also aren't allowed to add bloatware.

Sorry to hijack the thread but also looking for a new smartphone quite like the look of the Samsung S9 but does it have a glass back and is it going to stand the riggers of farm life ? Thanks . Also what do you think of the Samsung x cover 4 are they any good?
