@zia1288 Yes, but it only uninstall updates. I uninstalled the updates before and then tried but it was an Unsuccessful attempt.

Apple charges $159 for AirPods, but still don't even provide an additional ear hook for a more secure fit. Total rip off.

They want you to lose one of them and then pay $69 for single airpod replacement.

Even most basic ones from other brands come either with either a hook, or mini hook in multiple sizes like these.

Suggestions required for a phone within 25-26k budget for ladies’ use.
Samsung J6, Xiaomi Mi S2, Nokia 6.1 (all 3gb/32gb variants).
Having prices 26k, 23k & 24k respectively.

If the person who's going to be using the phone is careless and drops the phone often or perhaps has children in the house then look no further than Nokia. It's built like a tank!

The phone is tougher than The Nokia 3310!

Samsung J6 is purely made of squeaky plastic, has 'much' lower specs than the other phones you've listed here and its only saving grace is the OLED display.

As for Mi S2, it's pure garbage, period. Best to go for Redmi Note 5 a.k.a Note 5 Pro, Redmi 5 Plus, Mi A1 (Which I personally own) or perhaps The Mi A2 Lite (Notched display, ugly).

Hope it helps.

Those AirPods are going to be even more expensive here!

So... Are you actually making a statement AGAINST your favorite brand or am I missing something here?!

[ahmed_11]

Bundle of thanks bro. Note 5 Pro is really nice with that 20MP front cam + flash. Will add it to the consideration list.

Mi A1 , Mi A2 Lite & Redmi 5 Plus camera sy maar kha gye, i.e. only 5MP front camera and that too without flash (as I mentioned phone will be used by a female, so alot of selfies you know).

Last but not the least, I personally feel hesitant to go for such new brand i.e. Xiaomi. No doubt it’s got impressive feedback all over the world. But at the end of the day its a chinese product. Plus I wanted to know are there any warranty claim centers? And how is the after sale support / customer care reputation? Is it wise to invest this much amount in this brand? How would you rate it’s reliability ?

My humble suggestion is if u want to buy Xiaomi go for Mi series and not the Redmi series
Me and my 3-4 colleagues are victim of Redmi series
If u disassemble any Redmi series set u will clearly understand what i mean
I personally being victim of Xiaomi redmi series twice first the note 2 and then note 4 then I bought note 5 but sold it without using
BUT I still like Xiaomi alot due to its software and various other reasons thats why I recommend people to buy only Mi series which is little expensive but a little more durable

[ahmed_11]

Thankyou brother. What are your views regarding Note 5 Pro? And may I ask why did you sell Note 5 without using? It that during the time when you bought iPhone 6S?

[crossfirex]

Yes I bought iPhone 6s and currently using it but I didn’t sell it mainly due to iPhone
I m fond of keeping both iPhone and android mobile at the same time and among androids in my pocket range I consider Xiaomi as best
I sold note 5 because I already own note 4x which is currently suffering from bad lcd and swollen battery issues however both the items have been recently received through AliExpress and IA will be shortly installed so my Xiaomi will be in service again
But I didn’t like hardware quality of Redmi series as it gives up suddenly without any reason in a year or max 1.5 year as per my observation

[ahmed_11]

You ordered the battery & lcd from AliExpress means these kinda basic and integral replacement parts are not available in our market? Or was it to get an original part through AliExpress?
Plus what’s your verdict on Note 5 Pro?

[DUDE007]

Both LCD and battery are available 100% original part from Mi service center. However AliExpress sells cheap LCD units wih frame. Battery price is almost the same

[ahmed_11]

Thankyou.
Any idea of warranty claim / coverage reputation of Xiaomi?

[DUDE007]

Sorry, i have never experienced warranty claim yet. Maybe someone here can help or you can try contacting nearest mi service center, they might be able to help.
