Hi,
So my Xperia Sola is finally breathing its last, I think, after almost two and a half years. It hangs a little too much and basic applications like whatsapp force close in every 2 minutes.

What phone should I go for next. I only use my phone for whatsapp and google maps and listening music. I use apps like imdb, goodreads and zomato also sometimes but I dont need it for gaming at all. I want extremely good battery backup and a long life, considering my last phone lasted a good 3 years. 3G and wifi needed as well along with amazing touch and no lags. I don't need a good camera or dual sim.

Please help! Cheapest phone available with these specifications?
I dont really like the appearance of samsung phones and if there are phones cheaper than moto e 2nd gen then those suggestions would be great. (Really broke right now)

that is exactly my requirement & scene right now :D
i would have bought Moto e 2 but for its high SAR value. in this budget, i think getting a windows handset is better. may be kkn13 would be able to enlighten us more.

Yuphoria for 7k, Coolpad Dazen 1 for 6k.
Lumia 638 for 5.7k, Lumia 535 for 7k.

Yuphoria has a pinkish ting in screen + has bugs

A6000+ or Redmi 2 would be better
A6000+ is better performer of the two & Redmi 2 lags a bit, but you won't notice lags as you are coming from a Sola. Redmi 2 has the best camera in sub 8k category
