> thickphones with batteries that last for days are not.

Point me to a recent one with a recent build of Android that receives regular security updates from a reputable builder and I'll buy it immediately. I'd line up outside a building like it was Black Friday to buy a Galaxy 8 or Pixel 2 with an integrated 10000mAh battery.

But, alas, this magical unicorn "thickphone" doesn't exist on the market, even if some random Chinese manufacturer that will be gone tomorrow makes one with a four year old SoC and a three year old build of Android with no security updates since the phone's release two years ago...
