It's a shame that competition based on displays (and large size) is all the rage, but the battery tech is in the stone age by comparison. Like, who wants a battery that stays charged under average load more than a day, or a battery that doesn't diminish in capacity after 8 months?

Is this really the case? Legit question. I'm not very familiar with the state of battery tech, but I remember the release of that massive Energizer phone and I don't think I'd be comfortable trading that much size for a better battery.

The Energizer phone never released, it was cancelled.
My first smartphone was a Note 2. I put a 10 amp hour zero lemon battery on that, was great. I did the same thing with the Note 4. Nowadays everyone makes it ridiculous to swap a battery and I don't like the "wrap around style" but thankfully phones with 4-5 amp hour batteries with more efficient SoCs are available these days so it's not as bad.
I'd still love to see a large format phone with a 6-7 amp hour battery built in though. It would barely be any thicker and would mean once a week charge for me.
