Yep. I'm currently using my old Samsung Galaxy smartphone as a "house phone" simply because the battery life is beyond any other new cell phone. It gets charged once every 2-4 weeks depending on usage, and it's an ancient battery, which is even more surprising! The issue isn't the size of the battery, it's that 4G and 5G devices drain batteries on standby at a much higher rate, whether data is on or off. This is why I turn 5G off on my new smartphone. The increased speed doesn't justify the increased energy consumption for me.
