I recall even Linux laptops having battery life issues for some time. I don't know what the current state of that is, since I don't really use laptops, but that doesn't seem to be much of a priority in the larger Linux ecosystem. However, there is a distinct advantage of PinePhones compared to most mainstream phones: you can purchase more than one battery and quickly swap between them. Carrying extra batteries might not be as elegant as intelligent software management, but for about $15 I was able to get a 3,600 mAh battery to offset short battery life and ensure that, even if one gets completely drained, I can still boot the phone.
