3,000mAh+ Phone? Look no further than Qmobile Power 1000! It's a small 'bar phone' with a HUGE 4,000mAh battery! Can easily last you A MONTH on stand-by! I might buy one...
Android Smartphones? Qmobile M Series usually have big batteries as M stands for... Duh... Marathon!
M95 has 4,000mAh, while M300 has a HUGE 5,000mAh! Then there's Lenovo 5000 which, quite ironically, has 4,000mAh battery instead of suggesting 5,000mAh.
There might be few more though... But you won't find any smartphone with battery bigger than 4,000 except M300...
Alternatively, consider Lumia Phones. A 1,500mAh Lumia 435 can easily out-last an Android with 2,500mAh to 3,000mAh battery! But I'm hearing that latest Android Marshmallow is 50% more power efficient than Kitkat!
Guess we'll soon find out!

For bigger batteries, I suggest getting a good brand smartphone and getting a good quality power bank (portable charger) with it. No use getting a phone with 4000mah when it is not reliable & durable to begin with.

I don't know about most people, but in my social circle, people had worst experiences with Lenovo phones. They found Lenovo to be even worse than Qmobile!.

Even Infinix users are having some bad experiences lately.

Any good phone manufacturer can shove a 3000 or 4000 mah batteries in entry level phones to impress the people, but good manufacturers do take into account of all the health and safety hazards associated with these oversized batteries.

Is there any 'affordable' smartphone available in Lahore with screen size around 5.5"-5.7" aka PHABLET?
I'm well aware of Galaxy Note Series but it isn't exactly budget friendly @ roughly 100,000 Rupees! I'm looking for something less than 20K.
Only phablet I managed to find was Qmobile V5 at around 9k but it's specs are quite low... Any other options?

You can always buy a slightly older note.
No one's asking you to buy a Note 5.

For 20k you can get a Note 2, or if you increase your budget, a Note 3.

Infinix Hot Note Pro for ~14000. 5.5 inch display with 2GB ram!

It is said to be better than Qmobile and Lenovo.

Yes, Spend 20K and it's STILL an old beat-up phone without warranty & a dated O.S...! Meh! What's the point?
Brother, I try to avoid used phones... Last time I bought a used phone (Nokia 3500), I ended up regretting it. It's was a nightmare... I'd rather have a brand new Chinese Phone with warranty and latest OS than a used Korean Phone with unknown history and worn-out battery being sold by an un-honest seller who says nothing but: "Tusi fikar he na kro, sub changa ha"!
Okay, granted, not all used stuff is horrible and not all sellers are dishonest... But I've had enough experience with used mobile phones and un-honest sellers!

[devils_smile]

Another thing to add about used or imported phones is, you never know they might be tested by some crazy YouTube guy, who hammered the screen to check the gorilla glass strength, water tested, drop tested it or some other crazy stuff [emoji1].

I have Huawei p8 lite. I want a secondary phone with good battery. I need good battery timing + large call&sms storage. I currently have Nokia 130 as secondary phone, it easily lasts 2,2.5 days but the sms and call history is limited.

You're absolutely right, brother. Spot-on! Couldn't agree more...!
Just look at any used cell phone up for sale on OLX, and you'd most likely find scratches, cracks, dents & stickers everywhere caused by extremely rough usage... If not, then you'd find software related problems, which some (if not most) sellers don't even care to mention! Now, if you look-up Iphones, almost half of them are jail broken. If not, then you'll find that they're 'iCloud Locked' cause the seller forgot his Iphone I.D. Poor memory? I don't think so... How come so many people forget "BOTH" their Apple I.Ds and Passwords everyday? Likely Stolen, perhaps? Some sellers don't even post real pics. I spotted multiple phones with pictures taken from Wikipedia or from previous Advertisements of the same phone...!
USED CELL PHONE MARKET IS A MESS. Avoid at any cost...

Aha! I'm currently using Nokia 103 Myself! Yes, it's memory is kinda short but you can't beat it's ruggedness and simplicity...!
Brother, We all know that our beloved good ol' Nokia is DEAD, so you've two options: Samsung & Chinese feature Phones also known as Bar phones or even 'dumbphones'...
Samsung phones are bit expensive but have quality which Chinese Phones lacks... Whereas Chinese Phones are offering MEGA batteries from 2,000mAh to upto 4,000mAh but aren't that great, build quality wise...
If you're willing to look past bar phones and can extend your budget upto 8,000 Rupees (You didn't mention your budget), look no further than... MICROSOFT LUMIA 430! It's a compact cell phone at 4.0" so you can easily carry both, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, and finally has a 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor from Qualcomm which has processing power equal to a Quad Core processor from Mediatek being used in Qmobiles and dozens of other Chinese Brands... Just Check benchmark scores over Google! It can easily last you 2 days on regular usage as WP is EXTREMELY POWER EFFICIENT... And of course, you can run Skype, Twitter etc which is something a Bar Phone can't do...
Up to you, brother...
