I would be absurdly happy to find a phone like a Note 3/4 that's 2x as thick and has 2-3x as much battery. Not that the Note has poor battery life (it easily last a full 12-16 hours of pretty heavy usage).

I really don't care much about thinness in phones, but I do care about having a forever battery and I'd happily trade 3mm of pocket space for it.



You can get battery with extended capacity. E.g. ZeroLemon have 10000 mAh battery:

But phone becomes very bulky with it.


The Note 3 has a replaceable battery, so there is nothing stopping you from replacing it with a thicker, higher capacity battery. There are lots of options available, like this one: http://www.mugenpoweronline.com/zaspx/product_details.aspx?f...


If you really don't care about size there are plenty of options, especially for phones like the Note3 with replaceable backs[1].Even for the iPhone you can buy a wrap around case that embeds a battery.

Yeah absolutely, but I wish it was just part of the phone model.

A Note 3 with the pack you linked to could easily do 2 full days of medium to heavy usage.


Motorola did have their Maxx models that were thicker with more battery, but it seems like they gave up on that when they were acquired by Google.
