    Instead of a folding phone, I’d prefer to have a phone I only have to charge once a week. I don’t know what the battery life is for the duo but I would think it’s worse than the latest iPhone model.

      Phones like that exist, nobody’s buying them. It’s a very small niche because most people put their phone on a charger every night anyway so why walk around with a brick of a phone when it doesn’t provide any benefit.

      my old flip phones would go up to a month between charges. with the 2g/3g shutdown and the forced ‘upgrade’ to voLTE, i only do get about a week with the new phone now because the radios use more power.

        That’s crazy. I had an Apple Watch which I had to charge daily and then replaced it with a Garmin watch and I charge my watch once a week now. If o turn off some settings it could last 2 weeks but I like all the health tracking stuff
