  I’ve never been over 60hz on a phone and my current “blissfully unaware of what I’m missing” state disagrees. Battery life over all. I think it still sucks we get Uber a days with of battery by default in phones still. I miss only having to charge like once a week.

    I don’t even think about my phone for days at a time. Charge it about once a week.

      The only time I’ve gone longer than two days was when I wasn’t seeing anybody and my good friends were out of town.

    Well I suppose those driving a Ford model T never felt left out not having a Mustang. But my trusty Pixel 5 lives on 90hz and the battery lasts close to a week between charges. But if you’ve really want to squeeze a few extra minutes of battery life out of your phone and don’t care about usability you should also think about keeping your screen on the lowest brightness at all times, never take it out of extreme battery saver mode, and maybe even just sell it and buy a flip phone? The batteries on some of those will blow your mind.
