I charge my iPhone 11 Pro every other day now because not leaving the house means that I'm using it way less now. I think I got about 3 days of standby when I really pushed not charging it.
I don't think getting 3 days standby out of a current smartphone would be that impossible. It's just that no one uses their smartphone so that it just sits there, not doing anything.

My usage report shows about 2.5 hours/day of screen time, makes sense as I'm using my phone only in the mornings and late evenings. Pretty good battery life when on low usage, I feel like trying turning on low battery mode from full charge and see how long it would last.

Samsung phones (I have the S7) have an "Ultra power saving mode" which enables a bunch of power saving features including throttling, reducing display resolution / brightness. But the thing that makes the biggest difference is disabling background data. I once got 4 days of usage at a festival in this mode. And I was using it to keep in touch with people and as a camera (I probably took ~150 photos). The trick was to use it as little as possible, and keep in airplane mode unless I was specifically expecting a message (I would periodically take it out of airplane mode to check for messages).
