That’s a lot. I have to charge mine daily.

I don’t need a super camera, but I do want one: it is very useful.
For instance, when shopping, I can take a photo of an article or the
“poster”, and have a look later at home, instead of taking notes. Or
take a photo at home of the things I have to locate on shops, in order
to find the exact replacement and not make silly mistakes. Or send the
photo to someone on the spot.
Or taking photos of things to be repaired, so that I can show them to
the professionals that are going to do it, even if I forget to pick up
my “real camera”.
Or take photos of maps, or instructions.
Not everything are social media

Looks nice… but I could not find a list of apps.
It mentions having a GPS device, but I need finding out what map
applications it has.
And other applications, like whatsapp.
