10-15K Gionee m2 or lenovo p780 or better suggestions on battery life

Gionee m2- 10k lenovo- 18k

Was it worth the price difference. I could stretch for lenovo.

I mainly browse most of the time. My Moto atrix 2 won't last all day. So if I'm traveling I won't even view videos. But this might change with good battery life(not much traveling but I hate charging >once/day. Not much calling. I like to hear Music on loud speaker at night.

I seen both phones personally. Gionee is heavy weight, thick. Pixels are visible, low resolution. I wasn't able to hear music on both phones. main concern is thickness. Single hand usage won't be possible/comfortable on m2. I'm not sure if it gets laggy on installing apps. Only 4gb inbuilt(8gb for lenovo. SD card is there.

But does 8k difference worth it. If I go for the gionee, worries are after service and parts availability, also I like to install custom ROMs. 4gb inbuilt??

Any other recommendations for good battery life that will last whole day on heavy usage.

I use a Moto G and I suggest it without a second thought! Been just 2 days but this is just awesome for the price!

Is the battery lasting for a single day with heavy usage

By heavy usage I mean, 2 hours of movies on phone, 30 mins of YouTube on WiFi, 1 hour of music on headphone/loudspeaker, 4 hours of 3g browsing &2 hours on WiFi, 15mins of calling.

Yesterday morning, I Started with 85%,I played games for 1 Hr, had constant downloads from play store and WIFI was ON all day. Yet by end of Day I had 40% battery left!
This is pretty amazing. With light-moderate use you may expect 2 days easily!

If you are not into calling, then why not get a tab with calling functionality. You will get more real estate for browsing and gaming.

already got a tab but dont like carrying it around all day. i might buy power bank with moto g(since f3nix pointed out) kind of phone. still hates charging more than once per day.

requirements
1.i like a maximum of 5in without much visible pixels & not less than 4.3inch(ideal)
2.good loudspeaker volume for music/alarms/ringing.
3.average call quality with good volume.
4.great battery life.
5.not very bulky.
6.performance/responsiveness sufficient for working on too many apps with out hanging.
7.not much gaming/ video watching unless traveling but then battery has to be good.
8.top notch 3g/2g, wifi signal.
9.custom rom dev support
10.might use for 2 yrs perhaps so service center accessibility and good resale value(optional).

any phones coming in next 2-3 months also considered
