BLU Life One X. Have had it for a few years now and while it's nothing special it does the trick. Paid $200 on Amazon brand new shortly after it's release and it's worth every penny. The only issue I have with it is with updates because the battery life can vary greatly. At worst it can be 3 hrs with heavy use and best closer to 6 hours heavy use. In an average use case it just get's me through an entire day with a poor update. Whenever a poor update leads to a much shorter battery life they tend to release another update soon enough to get it to a much more reasonable level, so it's never been a major problem. Otherwise it does everything good enough and has held up.

Ah, a fellow BLUfer. I had the Life One X as well. No complaints other than the battery, like you said. Still wasn't the worst battery I've had on a phone, just kinda in the average zone. Sadly, after about a year or so, the mic died on me.

Then, I got a good deal on an Alcatel Idol 4s, like $220 for the phone and VR headset. Loved the dual speakers and sharp display. But, the battery crapped out on me in a year or so. Got the Vivo + and have been very satisfied with it.
