I am in the market for a new mobile phone, but I have very specific

is no use if it bumbles along and then dies sounding the ringtone!

It is likely to be used a lot in regions of poor 2G signal coverage and
so when in use will be transmitting at or near maximum power.

Buy a phone for its features, and power it from one of these:

12000mAh in your shirt pocket should see you OK, and you'll find a plethora of uses for it.

I use one of these, had it for a couple of years:

Charge it from your computer's USB port.
