There are rumors of phones with batteries lasting longer than 5hrs. I'm still not sure if true or not but when it happens it will revolutionize what you use your phone for. It may even replace the watch completely some day. Obviously I insist they still need to be as thin as they are now. That is much much more important than batteries.

? I get at least 10 hours out of my Pixel on a daily basis, what rumor are you talking about?

    Are you guys for real? This is ridiculous! I've been on the old Nexus 5 for ages. I think, if we aren't going to get Android 7, then maybe it will be time for me to switch to one of the fringe mobile operating systems. I get about 20 - 40 hours between charges, depending on whether or not I need to use Google Maps that day, and I often stay in airplane mode when I am working.

      Airplane mode is cheating. My Nokia 920 lasted for a literal week during my honeymoon. It sat in the room in airplane mode and zero usage other than an alarm clock and a few dozen pictures. No one cares how long a smartphone lasts when you're not doing smartphone things with it.

  It might be a lark, or a very high performance phone. :'))

Getting a solid 32 hours (on average) out of my low-end Samsung J3 with 3G and location always on. Had to optimize a few things to get there, though.

Why would it replace the watch? Phones and watches are either two entirely separate things, or indeed, once miniaturization and battery tech improve sufficiently, the watch, being much more convenient to carry around and being instantly to-hand, glanceable etc, will replace the phone for everything except large-format display, just as with pocket-watches.

Chinese phone "Elephone Fighter" selling point is its 20 days battery life (5000mAh battery ). Not released yet though, so it's mostly marketing now. http://www.gizchina.com/2017/08/02/measures-9mm-20-day-battery-life/ http://www.gizchina.com/2017/08/02/measures-9mm-20-day-batte...

judging from the responses it seems like addition of /s might be necessary.
