If so, I might be able invert my plan: use the Linux phone with phone/5G/useful software most of the time, and a cheap android phone in my bag that only comes out for things that need the monopoly apps and tethers to the useful one occasionally when necessary.
Depends on your definition of "lasting an entire day", but for me it lasts just long enough to usually not bother carrying a power bank with me. Usage patterns vary though.
I am trying out a Oneplus 6 on Mobian, and I got 29 hours of battery life on idle, and it is looking to be around 15 hours with light usage.
With a Librem 5, its 12ish hours on idle, 20 hours on suspend, and 4-5 hours light usage.
do they make phone calls? can they tether 5G?

Both of those phones support LTE only. Both make/receive phone calls, but the Librem 5 is more stable on that front.
The Fairphone 4/5 supports 5G, but I don't know how stable they are on pmOS/Mobian
