Hello....

1. Brand. Any brand
2. Budget. (Below rm500)
3. Specs. (Good battery life n no lagging)
4. What you need in the phone (screen not so small)

I'm currently on a 3 years old iPhone 5. Unfortunately due to a lack of fiber connection at home I'm forced to use it as a tethering device. Now the battery and the screen of the phone is already in the unusable stage - battery lasts about 20 minutes unplugged, and the screen is bent.

I will be moving to Terengganu for work soon (fresh graduate), and I'm looking to venture into the low-mid range android market for a temporary replacement while I save up for a new phone, with a budget of MYR900.

Here are some criteria I'm looking for:

1. ~5" screen (4.7 to 5.2 will do. can compromise if needed)

2. Long battery life (I will be working long shifts in a chemical plant and might not have charging utilities for a long time)

3. A normal camera will do (I rarely take photos with my phone, but still need one to take decent pictures of the equipment in my plant)

4. I manage my phone quite frequently so the memory size does not matter. I need important apps such as Whatsapp, Twitter, Reddit, and ~5 management apps. I rarely play games on the phone and when I do its only mini games like Piano tiles, plague, or minesweeper. I do have about ~300 songs tho. For reference I'm using the 16gb iphone 5 variant and still have >3 GB free space.

5. Weight, size and build don't really matter. I have slightly larger hands and I usually don't use a casing.

6. Dual sim is not required but preferable.

Thank you!

Edit: No lenovo if possible. Had bad experiences on it

Just notice the Lenovo A7000 Plus/ K3 Note's Home key, Back key and Task key don't has back light.
Dunno if there is setting on it to turn on, or it really don't have it, just like the ASUS Zenfone series, all those key don't has back light.

I am considering....so which is much better? Meizu or Alcatel? huhuhu...still haven't made the purchase yet.
