Looking for a cheap phone ( around $50*) with a good battery life. Prefer Nokia or other known brand. Any suggestions?
EDIT: $70-80

I've increased to about $70-80. Would that make any difference at all?
You may be better off getting a 10,000 mAh battery pack for $30-40 and use any device you want.
The remaining $40 doesn't leave much to buy a smart phone
Does the phone need data access and/or 4G ?
you can look at these kind of small flip-phones
https://www.bigw.com.au/product/telstra-flip-3/p/111277they should last you more than week,
as it's low power consumption.basically, any phone with small or no screen,
and debloated (without apps) will have long battery lifeIt has to be 4G as 3G will become obsolete in near future. Data not really needed
A bit over budget, I have nokia 800 tough. Battery lasts couple of weeks with moderate usage. Has Google assistant that makes it a bit easy to use and other apps like WhatsApp . Durable, very hard to break and waterproof as well.
Couple of weeks, really? That sounds great as I've read even dumb phones with 4G are battery hogs
A bit out of budget.
Due to the lack of a large screen or interactive screen,
the chances of you using data on a 'dumb phone' is lower,
so I don't think your battery use will be higher than a heavily debloated smartphone.This. Don't even have data pack.
For your budget the Nokia 225 4G is probably your best choice: https://www.amazon.com.au/Nokia-Official-Australian-connecti…
Are these available anywhere?
Looks like Catch is cheapest with stock, not many left https://www.catch.com.au/product/nokia-225-4g-128gb-mobile-p…
Not much choice with $50 dude
