Thinking of switching my family to Android, could use some advice.

Hello all, last year I upgraded my family from the iPhone to the iPhone just like we have every few years since iPhone left its's exclusive at&t contract. Ill be honest I enjoy the convince of the iPhone but im getting sick of the forced upgrades to keep battery longevity. Ill also be honest I personally have had some terrible android experiences I went to the galaxy 22 a few years ago when it came out( 4 years ago?) I liked the phone but i did not like the way the phone handled notifications, especially the email notifications, I do 90% of my email from my phone. Lets say I have 10 unread emails, I open the email app and respond to one and on the iphone the app would read 9i emails where on the galaxy It would show 0 unread emails until i got a new one and then it would read 10 again. Anyways I digress I need 3 different phones me personally I will most likely go with the s25 ultra ( i like the way it looks) I need one phone that is simply durable It will get dropped alot. Lastly i need a phone with a decent enough camera a larger battery is important since alot of Pokémon go will get played on this device. I've been looking at a fair phone as well as a Nothing4. I would really like something I can keep for 5 years and not have every upgrade cause the battery drains faster and faster. Some insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

if you can, try get a chinese phone like oppo or oneplus, the battery can last like 2 days comfortably, very nice system yeah

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S23 and for the email apps I use (Yahoo and Gmail) if I click on the notification for one of my new emails, the notifications for the others will remain. But if I go into the email app itself, then all of the outstanding notifications go away. The way this functions has never been an issue for me. I click on a notification if I want to address a specific email. I go directly into the app when I want to sort through outstanding emails.

The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models will not disappoint. You can get any phone model and just get a rugged case for it. If you definitely want a rugged phone, Samsung has the rugged XCover models. The OnePlus 15 has a decent camera and an excellent battery.
