Ok it’s 4G and Android 12, so a little bit behind the times, and weighs over a pound, but it has 65 watt fast charging and a built in 1200 lumen flashlight (I wonder if that doubles as a video light). I found out about it a few days ago and have been fascinated by it since then. The weight isn’t so bad if you consider that it gets rid of the need to bring a power bank.
Not gonna buy real soon but wow. Maybe they will do a 5G version sometime. I posted in another community that I want to be able to pull it out and say “that’s not a phone, THIS is a phone”.
Any thoughts?

Electrical engineer here. I love extra large batteries in my phones, kept my LG v20 way longer than I would have otherwise just because I didn’t want to give up my extended battery. If you’re seeing premature battery failure it’s likely either poor quality battery cells, which wouldn’t be unexpected in cheap offbrand batteries, or you’re shortening the batteries lifespan with fast chargers and discharging to 0% frequently.
I personally would rather have my phone be lightweight and carry a small power bank in my pocket or backpack or fannypack or satchel. The cord is a drawback as it can sometimes restrict mobility, and the phone gets hot. I live in a place where it is 15+ C in the fall and spring with 40+ C months long summer peaks. I have a phone cooler that has a fan, and the power bank has another port for it to plug into. Now I have two cables dangling from my phone. For some reason, I manage to always get them caught on knobs for drawers or doors.
