Hello. I am thinking of getting myself a new phone and was wondering what I should get. I currently got a Samsung Nexus S with andoid 4.1.2 and a Nokia 100.

I'll probably only use it for sms and phone calls, and maybe a weather app, battle.net app and maybe some step counter or fitness app.

I would love a phone that I can charge once or twice every week, and not every day. Also I cant afford something super expensive.

 

What would you recommend?

What about Note 3 + 3x 10000mah battery? 

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Smartphones just don't do long battery life. It's daily charging for you no matter how you use it.

The most enduring phones will go for 1,5-2 days if all the planets and stars align.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

My sister and mother both use a first gen Moto G, they both get pretty good charge rates, my sister's lasting a day or 2 and my mother's lasting around 4 or so days of super light use. I would recommend picking up the 16 gig version if you can though.
