I feel like the elephant in the room is that there's no phone battery that's going to stay useful in anywhere close to that time frame, and replacing phone batteries is usually a losing proposition. I've tried, several times. Fake, low-quality batteries are rampant (usually degrading within weeks), and genuine ones are prohibitively expensive -- usually a significant fraction of the cost of a new phone.

I am writing this on a six-year-old Android phone. Still same battery. It lasts me through the day of light usage, including about three hours of podcasts/youtube playback during commute.
