I'm still using a Galaxy S3(2012) with no battery problems. I use it every day, and I don't even plug it in every night.

Amen to that. I just took this screenshot using an extended battery on my S3:

When I bought the extended battery kit it lasted from 3-5 days. 3 major Android releases later it is rivaling some dumbphones.

Not having to worry ever about battery life has been life-changing and I'm not going back.
