Man, that 'battery life as short as my attention span' hit me right in the TRUTH bone. I learned to skip the five-star reviews and dive straight into the three-star ones, they usually spill the actual tea on battery performance. Also, check if the reviewers mention their usage patterns, because someone who just texts will have a WAY different experience than a power user. Factory resets can sometimes work miracles on a new device, it's worth a shot before you give up on it. Sucks to learn the hard way, but now you know for next time.
