Thanks for answer.

certain point it boils down to physical size. do we want physically bigger phone with bigger battery. bigger battery as capacity being bigger.

pine org decided to go with ~3000mAh battery, although being replaceable. maybe it is easy to get compatible batteries.

in my view, next pinephone model should have bigger battery, maybe at least 5000 mAh. but it also should be replaceable. so, is there good options.

selected arm cpu's ended up being power hungry, maybe it was not expected to be this power hungry. cpu's being used are intended to be small computers or iot devices.

In my experience, 
1.5 hours for heavy usage (firefox, youtube)
6-8 hours light usage (texting, quick calls)
24+ hours in suspend

To short suspend time.
