My daily usage is mostly whatsapp, twitter, reddit. I don't do heavy apps like TikTok, Instagram or Facebook. Figure that out how much battery but a friend of mine depletes the battery twice as fast as me during a day. The mini and SE would be good for some casual usecases, but for example, when i go offroad and use apps that uses the gps, the battery dies pretty quick. I will not go for the max models, but the middle size models are much battery performant than mine.
I'd be curious to know what your situation/usage is that it's been unsatisfactory.
