It is maddening to me that phones continue to produce tech upgrades while continuing to have mediocre battery life

I'm sure that this is far from an uncommon opinion, but I wanted to vent some frustrations. I'm currently looking to get a new Android device, so I'm going through the research of all the major flagship phones. I'm a recent convert to 120hz screens, so those are primarily what I'm looking at. Most reviews of non-Ultra type phones put screen-on times around 4 hours or so, which to me is abysmal.

The Sony Xperia 1 IV is praised for functions that were considered the bare minimum in 2015

Just from the top of my head:

3.5mm jack
Expandable storage
Notification LED
