Here's the situation:
I was using a Note 10 Lite as my primary phone, but the battery went so bad within 6 months that it barely lasts a full working day of 8-9 hours with one SIM and always on mobile data.
As I rushed to India, swapped the SIM cards and brought her iphone XR with me.
It is working just fine even in India with a T-Mobile SIM.
But now I have another airtel SIM which I must use atleast for data. I do have a Xiaomi phone ( forgot the model number) which used to work with T-Mobile back home, but for some reason not working here.
Basically have to carry 2 phones for 2 SIM cards.
Requirements in order of priority:
1.Must work both with Airtel and T-Mobile ( no idea which network T-Mobile latches to in Kolkata, but iphone works and the Xiaomi doesn't) Airtel for both calls, data .T-Mobile for ISD only
2. Decent battery life to go through a 8-9 hours work day ( 3 emails with lots of emails, many phone calls...very brief but MANY, one long WhatsApp video call, general browsing for 30 minutes, 30 minutes of YT, music streaming, minimal camera use, no gaming)
3. Should sustain few drops ( don't mind a bulky case)
Can't go offline route to check SIM compatibility due to lockdown. Must buy from Amazon.
What options do I have? Budget is flexible, but don't want to waste money...any brand will do, have no problem with Chinese manufacturers as long as the SIMs work.
Please help me guys, it's kind of urgent.
