Need a good smartphone with a $200 budget?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 Clone in Hong Kong last year and I must admit that this is the worst phone I've ever used. Battery life is the worst I've ever seen. When fully charged to 100% it'd take around 30-50mins to completely drain down when playing games or watching videos. When idle it could take around 3-8 hours, sometimes less but never more.

After having searched on ebay for around a week, my considerations are:
1.Motorola Moto G (1ST GEN)
2.Samsung Galaxy Note 1
3.Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250
4.Sony Xperia SP
5.Nokia Lumia 630

Cheapest prices(New with box) for the above mentioned phones are around $175, $200, $185, $160 & $150 respectively. What is intriguing me is that how come there are different prices for the phones. Take the Note 1 for example. Cheapest one(New) from Hong Kong is priced at $195 while another seller from the same country is selling it at $292.
Also, after having read user opinions on gsmarena, I've found out that even with these phones people are experiencing the same battery problem that I used to have with the S4 clone.

Help please I badly need a smartphone. I need one which has a screen size of atleast 4.3inch and good battery backup. I'll mostly be playing games and using apps like whatsapp etc. Please tell me which phone would suit me better. Other phone models would also be welcomed.

Thanks
