Android Budget Phones with Best Battery Life & Dual SIM

If my fantasies are satisfy-able, I'm after at least 7 days with an average of 3 hours talk/browsing per day.

Budget: Up to $290Au including delivery.

Bit too fat & heavy

Needs to be able to do 3G standby for off-sim (or 4G, but not 2G). I don't know if the above fall into that category.

I bought the Thor E and that is pretty good in endurance mode. I really like the hardware button for it.

Open to anything that will give the battery life.

      what is the battery life like for the mi A1?

        Excellent. You can get a days use out of it without needing to hook it to the powerbank. I've watched about 3 hours of videos on it and the battery dropped about 25-30%.

    $290 is not "budget"

      Yes it is.

    Moto G5 plus? Cheapest I have seen $240 very import.

      Regular G5 has a removable battery if that satisfies his requirements.

    Get a overseas version of the Samsung A5 (2017 version), cracking phone, might be able to get it for $300 second hand or refurb. Really it performs like a Pixel, just has a pretty crappy camera. To be honest, if I had to buy an A5 or a Pixel with my hard earn and the camera wasn't a thing I was after, I'd be all over the A5 and pocket the difference!

    Zenfones. ze552kl if you can stretch, there is an equally good 32gb model.
    Don't think they depreciate in value, bit like my ancient Oneplusone.

    Hey everyone thanks very much for your feedback. I'll probably keep this post kicking (OB permitting) when I get new phones, but today I did an impulsch pruchase!?!? on a bargain through JB.

    Went like this:

    Telstra Offer through JB HIFI
    1. Have a number with a different carrier off-plan - Check
    2. Prepared to go on a $49/Month plan with unlimited calls, SMS and 25Gb Data/Month on 12 month contract - Check
    3. Get $200 JB Gift Voucher, the full amount (or maybe only $100 of which) can be applied immediately - Check

    Result = New Motorola G5S for $159 (Currently on special @ $319 if you smile really nicely) on Telstra plan as per above + $50 JB Gift Card in hand = YUM

    So this won't really satisfy my battery objectives, but it will
