Right now ASUS will happily sell you a phone with a very large battery https://www.asus.com/mobile/phones/rog-phone/filter?Series=ROG-Phone https://www.asus.com/mobile/phones/rog-phone/filter?Series=R...

But, want to know a secret? If you want almost any smartphone to have a battery life of 5+ days, don't install any chat or social media apps, and turn off background email syncing. For that matter, turn off all background data transfers. Problem solved. Because it isn't hardware that is at fault, it is software. Batteries have actually been getting bigger and bigger, the iPhone 6 everyone loves from 8 years ago had a battery that was under 2000mAh.

Batteries have been getting bigger, as have screens, and the software demands put on devices. It isn't some conspiracy or market failure.
