Android Phones For The Backcountry?

[TexAg09]

Hey gang, my Nokia XR20 is on it's last leg, so I'm slowly researching for my next phone. What phones are y'all taking into the backcountry? Ideally I'm looking for a phone with some sort of waterproofing and at least 4500MmAh battery. The Motorola Edge looks interesting. The Samsung offerings seem to have either too small of a battery or they want $800+. Any suggestions? (And no, I have an iPhone for work, and prefer Android.) Thanks for your time!

I'm also interested in what people will recommend for this question, but I wanted to mention that it's worth comparing more than just battery capacity when you are trying to get an idea on battery life. I have a pixel 8 (4575 mAh) and my battery life is abysmal. This is a common complaint and people have done head to head tests with different phones and found that some phones/brands are much more efficient/have lower battery drain rates despite their actual capacity.

Galaxy xcover7 pro. $600 is my vote mainly because it is offered through tmobile. You can then add SAT fairly cheaply. If that doesn't interest you. Ulefone Armor X16. 10k MmAh and its $200ish according to when I just looked it up. They make some pretty indestructible phones and my buddies often works when mine does not.
