>But have you considered that HN (and most tech sites) are an echo chamber. And that really, most people don't care? A lot of people don't know what they want until they see it. I've gotten plenty of people very interested after I tell them that my good old Galaxy S3 lasts ~5 days without charging. For some people the bulk is a deal breaker, but many others either love it (it feels really good to hold and resists quite a beating) or aren't inconvenienced by it. It's going to be replaced soonish by an LG V20 which is bound to get an extended battery as well, but as long as I have a choice I'm sure as hell going to keep buying phones that don't have me scrambling for a charger once or even twice a day, I love that my device serves me and not the other way around.

> I've gotten plenty of people very interested after I tell them that my good old Galaxy S3 lasts ~5 days without charging. Count me as one of them. Yes, I still use an S3. Mine can last all day on a charge - most of the time. Unless I use it a lot.

  Well then you might wanna take a look at these: https://amazon.com/Warranty-WITHOUT-battery-Zerolemon-Midnight/dp/B00GJA1WFW/ https://amazon.com/Warranty-WITHOUT-battery-Zerolemon-Midnig... https://amazon.com/ZeroLemon-7000mAh-Extended-Protection-GT-i9300/dp/B00AKZWGAC/ https://amazon.com/ZeroLemon-7000mAh-Extended-Protection-GT-... My battery is actually Hyperion branded but it seems to no longer be produced; that ZeroLemon one however has the same capacity and should be as good. The case is the same I have. Both battery and case have been with me for close to 3 years, no sign of capacity degradation and it has taken a lot of hits like a champ without even a screen protector.
