They won't, but there are a fair few that have very good battery life so it should be easy to avoid a lemon if you do some basic research before buying anything.
Battery life becomes a much hazier metric to objectively compare when you're actually using your device for watching media, recording vids and taking photos, and in general ramping up your screen-on time.
Other than some weird Asus gaming phones, the iPhone 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max are champs in this area. It's easy to say that battery life is a point in favour of iPhones.
I have a sneaking suspicion that putting some sample pics side by side would show an alarming disparity. The Android devices with comparable photo quality cost as much as the iPhones (other than Pixel phones, which aren't sold here anyway).
The thing that convinced me to buy into iPhone was when I was chewing the fat with a friendly client after a meeting and he took out his iPad to show me some pics of his recently born son. As the guy scrolled through his Photos library, pausing now and again for a few things that stood out, my eyes just about fell out of their sockets at the realisation of how badly I had f**ked up with my personal photos.
It wasn't just the outstanding quality of the pics, it was how they were all live photos with a second or two of video and sound. You could genuinely feel the moment when they were captured, in a way that is hard to describe. That guy has the most incredible, futuristic photo album imaginable and will be able to treasure and relive all the precious moments he has captured with his family. The world's best DSLR/mirrorless camera wouldn't come close.
It was immediately clear that I'd be a moron to not get that for myself. It's a slight tragedy to not have it already, but at least I quickly sorted it out going forward and before I started my own family. I take vastly more photos now than I did previously, precisely because it's so cool seeing people and places properly in the moment.
And conversely, it kinda breaks my heart a bit when friends or acquaintances show me their family pics from their phone or via WhatsApp, and the first thing I think is "This trash-quality photo is all you're going to have decades from now of this amazing moment. How can you not spend a few bucks extra for a phone with an amazing camera..."
Megapixels are not the primary metric you should ever concern yourself with.Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro has a 108 megapixel camera
Not without abnormally light usage.
And it ranks below the iPhone 14 Pro Max anyway. Link.

If you think MP count alone makes a camera good, well then you obviously got suckered by the marketing.
PS. this is 108MP (left) vs. a 'measly' 48MP (right), which one do you think shows more detail?
i know they is more to a camera then just the megapixels .... but for personal usage doesnt justify 37K vs 5K.If you use the camera for professional usage then thats a different story.

Anyone who is not me or has my exact same values and circumstances is an idiot.
For YOUR personal usage it's not justified. It's not true for everyone else.

Personal usage almost always includes capturing valuable moments with friends, families and holidays. Having almost DSLR-like image quality and 'live photos' that show the seconds each pic was taken is so amazing I can't believe people would give that up to save a few grand. Or more realistically, save a few hundred each month on a cheaper contract.

Not everyone puts as much stock into photos as you do. I'd rather, you know, spend the time and make the memories than worry about whether or not there's a stray pixel on a photo because my phone has 1 megapixel fewer. They're having fun while you justify spending 40k to take selfies by yourself, don't worry though in 10 years time when the current tech is obsolete you can fawn over your relatively "trash-quality" selfie
