GOOG and GOOGL are now shares in Alphabet. [1] We're all GOOG shareholders if we have a 401(k) with a large-cap index fund. As a GOOG shareholder, I want an Android phone that doesn't run out of battery after 8 hours of typical use, but I'm probably not gonna get it. 1. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOG?p=^GOOG https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOG?p=^GOOG

You might want to try a Pixel phone. I'm on my third generation of Google phones and this one has the best battery life of all.

  It is a great phone, if you can track one down. Google isn't making enough of them it seems. http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/18/14315458/google-pixel-xl-smartphone-shipping-out-of-stock http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/18/14315458/google-pixel-xl-s...

    I just ordered an XL last month and got it in 2 weeks. The blue option was out when I went to order, but maybe they got some of the logistics worked out

> As a GOOG shareholder, I want an Android phone that doesn't run out of battery after 8 hours of typical use, but I'm probably not gonna get it. Probably not from Google. Bit my most recent phone (UMi Plus) has a 4000mAh battery that has for the first time gotten me in the habit of not plugging it in at the first sight of a charging cable. It's also helped that it's USB-C and charges faster than any previous Android phone I've had. There are also a few Android phones with 6000mAh battery, and at least one with a 10,000mAh battery that (unfortunately or fortunately depending on how important the battery life is for you) has a less battery hungry screen (and lower resolution) than most similarly priced phones. (both the 6k and 10k phones I mention are available from AliExpress sellers; read reviews carefully...)

  The Google pixel does that already. It runs quite long on a single charge. I think it's due to AMOLED.
