New phone time

Currently on a IPhone 11 since moving from the S9 with its dreadful battery life. Have enjoyed my iPhone 11.
I’m not all in with iOS apps, I use Spotify for music, google apps WhatsApp for my Android friends and family and iMessage for my Mum.
Can’t decide between.
iPhone 12 Pro or Max
S21U
S21+
Any other Alternatives Available on EE not chose the regular S21 as I’m not convinced the battery life is much cop.

main things I want is good battery life. iPhone 11 lasts a day and a half to 20% battery mainly web browsing, Reddit, faceache, Spotify YouTube and messaging.
Good camera as I use it over my DSLR now whilst on trips/holidays etc.
Needs to be ip67/68

How’s the battery life? Will it last all day?

I've got one (Exynos version) and it has no problem with a days heavy use.

I'd have probably gone for a 12 Pro Max if they were similarly priced but the S21U 256GB was only £860 a few weeks back compared to £1200.

Yeah about £2 difference on contract S21U £60 per month plus £50 upfront vs £62 plus 50 upfront both after 20% NHS discount. I’m not full in the iOS ecosystem so swapping between the two isn’t a problem. But I must admit I like iMessage and being able to reply back to my Mum using my iPad Pro. I know I can do that with Facebook messenger but I find it tosh.
