I live my life in the modern world and, while auto-syncing a bluetooth small JPEG to the phone would be grand, the charging will never beat changing batteries. That is in fact what I hate most about modern phones - welded batteries that barely last the day.

Thus the popularity of external batteries. I bought two of them for a trip to Europe in the summer, and occasionally used them for that. But otherwise I barely use them, and I have a four-year-old first-generation Pixel (although I did replace the internal battery once at significant cost). With my old Galaxy S2? S3? I could change the battery in 30 seconds. With the Pixel it's specialized surgery.
