The phone runs Android 7.0 Nougat. The specifications are not exactly ground-breaking, and that’s basically an entry-level phone, but the main selling point is the large battery and corresponding battery life.
If you need something more powerful with a large battery, Mediatek Helio X25 based PowerMax P600S smartphone will be better, but offers a somewhat shorter battery life (16.5 days in standby) with a 4,500 mAh battery, a higher resolution display (1080×1920), and a less power efficiency processor.
You’ll find the list of Energizer smartphones. some “dumb” phones, and hard cases on the company’s catalog.
Both PowerMax smartphones are sold on Amazon UK for 167.97 GBP ($229) for P550S model and 318.47 GBP ($435 ) and up for P600S.

I think they are taking on to much trying to be a phone brand. What is really needed is exchangeable long lasting batteries. That is the market they should of gone for with phone brand partners. In my non trained opinion as a expert by customer experience.
I find it very unlikely that a 75000mah battery will do anything close to 20days in a smartphone unless you basically convert your phone in an oversized dumb phone maybe
Yes I think the clue is in 20 days of standby ( waiting around for 20 days for a call more like )
PowerMax P600S smartphone will be better, but offers a somewhat shorter battery life (16.5 DAYS in standby)
Better get Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 than that. For just ~$170
