If you were using for 1 hour calling per day + half hour text which of these 2 phones would last longer before recharge? How much better is the keyboard on the f22 non pro vs the f21 pro?

Hello, i just bought a f22 some days ago. Today it arrived and im having issues with the typing experience. I only want to use the physical typical t9 keyboard, but instead of having the “qin pad” option for this, i have a “duoquin ime” one. The problem is that it uses predictive text, it doesn’t let me, for example, double click the 4 key to write the letter h, it just adds two letters. I’ve been going through the definitions for some time but i can’t seem to turn this off. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you :)
