Hi, I'm looking to buy a new phone as mine has glitches (they said it's cheaper to buy another than try to fix it) and work would prefer it if I was "in the loop" and up-to-date.
My current phone is the Nokia 2220 Slide, dropped many times and not a scratch. I only use it for calls, texts and alarms, but nothing else. No music, camera, games, internet etc. I like charging my phone weekly. I use Amaysim pre-paid, not into contracts. Whenever possible I text from the computer. Other than work contacting me there is only one person I often call.
Looking for a smart phone, doesn't need to have its own internet, as almost everywhere I go has free wifi. Needs to be capable of having whatsapp (for group meeting) + instagram (works likes to be social). I know nothing about phones… An uncrackable screen would be great as I'm accident prone. Doesn't need a camera, but a back-up one would be an advantage (I bring my DSLR when I need to take pictures). Not sure what my budget is as phones is not my area.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance! :)
Motorola Moto G for ~$200-$250

Smartphones consume more power and are more fragile because of their big screens
To conserve battery life, always turn off Wifi and reduce brightness when you don't need it. Turn off the phone completely when you don't use it for extended periods of time.
Even with the above methods though, you're unlikely to get more than 3 to 5 days of use without a recharge.
