It goes down really fast as soon as you connect to the WIFI, eg. to use the web browser, download applications, etc.

Unless Onyx can optimize the battery life in the next firmware releases, my advice is to buy a good power bank and use it as an external battery. In this way, you can take advantage of a light device when you don't need power, and attach the power bank when needed.
I guess it depends on your expectations. I have a phone that doesn't last a day - the Max2 lasts several days with use of Wifi, Email, Musicsheet app, Slack, Calender and other apps - that is way more than I need. When it is charged, I know that I will not run into any problems rehearsing / teaching - that is all I ask for. :-)
