As an avid traveler, I often find myself off the grid for days at a time. Be it ultra-long-distance flights, overnight journeys, or off-grid hiking, the one thing I find most painful is charging my phones — specifically, the amount of space in my travel backpack I have to dedicate to power banks and charging bricks.
Between streaming podcasts on long hikes, or shooting hundreds of photos and 4K videos, I have spent the better part of the last decade trying and failing to find a smartphone that can actually keep up with my travel lifestyle. However, nothing has met that challenge. Until now.
