What I am looking for is a premium-ish phone (around 500-800 EUR) and the only important thing is battery life. I don't have any other very specific requirement, I expect the other features (camera, screen, build, performance, no quality control issues, etc.) to be good enough at this price point. Notably I am not playing any games or cutting videos or anything demanding. I just watch YT, browse the web, listen to music, take photos (I'm not too picky), navigate with Maps (on foot) a LOT, while on the go, often having very loong days.
Anything I start looking at fails exactly in the battery department: S22, S21 FE, Pixel 6, Motorola Edge 30 Pro/Fusion, Xiaomi 11T (Pro), OnePus 9 (Pro). It is frustrating that the best match is a more than one year old Galaxy A52s for below 300 EUR. I want to spend more to get better quality and some premium features.
