Need input on a smartphone that will hold a charge for a decent length of time

I should shut off wifi. I don't think I use so much data that I need it. We'll see.

My wife and I just upgraded to the Pixel 3 XL. Very good battery life so far.

Keeping WiFi and GPS off will really help your battery life. Probably keeping Data off, too, though I'm not so sure about that one.

OK, I shut off GPS and wifi before I took it off the charger. After three hours, I'm at 84% power. Not great when I haven't even used the phone, but better.

Several people both here and on FB have mentioned Pixel. Must look into it. Cricket doesn't offer it, but I can get it from AT&T or on Amazon/Ebay.

pixel is Google's in house made phone. By far the best Android experience you'll get. Updates monthly for at least three years i believe. Don't bother buying from a third party, just go straight to Google, they will let you finance and everything if that's your preferred method of purchasing a phone. They have been getting aggressive with discount to as they get closer to the next version.

I charge my flip phone once a week whether it needs it or not.

One Plus 6T buy it from One Plus. Great value and I'm getting over a day out of a charge with fairly heavy use.

Ok, I checked into Pixel, but it was cost-prohibitive because I'm not working. Ordered a Moto E5 Supra. It has a 5000 mAh battery and was only $150, so hopefully it will work out OK.

Thanks for all the tips and advice.
