The main reason I'm thinking of upgrading my mid-range phone now is the battery is on its last legs.

In fairness it's lasted 6 years, which is two years more than my Nexus 4 got. Pokemon Go eventually killed that.

I don't know when we all just collectively accepted that batteries should last one day and not a second more. Sure, it's doing more than a Nokia 3310 ever did, but sometimes you really do need it to last more than that, like when travelling.
