Phone recommendations
I've been rocking pixels for years, currently using Pixel 8, which I have thoroughly enjoyed, but it's showing signs of nearing its end and I have become more and more anti-Google so I'm looking to change lanes.
I was hoping to find some personal recommendations on what phone I should look at next. Preferably nothing too expensive, and I mainly want good battery life and reliability. I was looking into some of the recent flip phones (z flip, and the Motorola one) because there are some solid sales going on near me, but I see a lot of battery life concerns with them. I work in construction and am outside all day, so while I don't use my phone often on the job, the device still gets very hot/cold in the summer/winter and the battery life takes a hit for it. Also thanks to my job, I'd prefer something with nice durability that won't have a shattered camera or screen after a couple weeks on worksites. Obviously I use cases and screen protectors but a fragile phone is a fragile phone.
I pretty much only use my phone for searching things up, notes, texts, and some youtube videos. I don't use social media or play mobile games, so I'm just looking for something that can reliably get through the day with my needs and can last a long time.
I seriously appreciate any help, technology is not my strong suit in the slightest so I'm out of my depth here.
