You can get the Infinix Hot Note (1GB ram) for 13k. Or the Infinix Hot 2 (2GB ram) is also available for 12k. However, if you can increase your budget by 2k, you can get the Infinix Hot Note Pro (2GB ram) and that's the phone that I recommend here. All three are excellent phones so it all comes down to your choice

Initially I was looking for a Smartphone in 10-15k price range. But after reading a TON of reviews and learning quite a bit about Smartphones in the process, I've decided to increase my budget upto 25k.
The phones mentioned above falls in my budget, I've demoed them at Hafeez Center and I like all of them equally for different reasons and right now, I'm in a dilemma. Huawei has the best camera, Samsung has an impressive display, quality SoC and great reputation, whereas HTC has that premium fit and finish that rivals an iPhone 6S quite honestly!
Can anyone help me out here a 'wee' bit? One more thing, I only looked at major, 'top player' brands so if you're aware of a better phone feel free to illuminate me. I'd truly appreciate it...

Here're my requirements: 5.0"-5.5" HD Display, Android Lollipop (with future update for Marshmallow), Good Battery Life, atleast 8 Megapixel Camera with flash, notification light and minimum 1.5GB of RAM.
Thanks.

@s15 Brother, I'd like to specially ask you for your input as you seems to be highly knowledgeable about Smartphones.

S5 and HTC One M8 can fit in your budget.

Brother, I've had terrible experiences with used phones. Hence, I'd prefer only brand new, pin packed phones. But thanks for your input, brother... S5 has impressive specs indeed...

zuhaibafzal 2015-12-02 04:44:15 +0500 #22576

Then you can consider Huawei P8 Lite and Galaxy J5

If you can increase your budget only a little bit more, you can get a brand new galaxy A5 4g version or you can get a just box opened only a few days used in your budget...this is the best option IMHO in this budget if you wanna go for brand new!

So for the past 2 days I've been trying to sync my iCloud contacts on my Infinix Zero 2 but nothing seemed to work.
I use the app lookout.com as a Find My iPhone backup and that backs up contacts as well. After 2 days of trying, I downloaded a vCard from lookout and imported it to Google Contacts from a browser then merged them.
Worked like a charm. Hope this can be of help to someone...

@crossfirex During my research about Smartphones over the internet since the last few weeks, I've come across The Xiaomi name countless times. It seems like a good quality brand. But I don't recall seeing a Xiaomi Retail Shop anywhere in Lahore. I've never bought anything online before hence I'm a bit reluctant to try it out, and quite naturally so... @devil33 Yes, I love Galaxy A Series' all metal uni-body but its just way outside my budget! Lets see if I could convince myself to shed some more cash...!!!
Thanks for all the advices, lads. It means a lot to me...

k-four-nine 2015-12-02 13:36:12 +0500 #22586

Just checked out Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and WOW WOW WOW!
Greatest Deca Core (10 Cores) Processor from Mediatek, The Mighty Helio X10 clocked at 2.2Ghz coupled with 2GB RAM, 13M.P Camera Sensor from Samsung, 32GB ROM, Dual Sim 4G and a 5.5" Full HD Screen with 450+ PPI... Its a MONSTER with 46,000+ Score on Antutu! That's well beyond impressive considering its highly affordable price!
Too bad its not available here... Why can't we have any of the good stuff here?
I mean, in China alone, Xiamoi sold MILLIONS of Redmi's in just 24 Hours! Same can be said about India...
Now, The Infinix Hot Note 2 Pro is feeling like an overpriced junk in comparison (No offense)...

Some interesting info about Xiaomi.

Pronounced as "SHOW mee".

Xiaomi sets a new Guinness World Record by selling 2.1 million smartphones in 24 hours.

How are Xiaomi smartphones priced very low in comparison to the other companies?

Get a P8 Lite. Piece of cake. Better than Galaxy J5 and Infinix Zero 2.

Comparing specs vs price ratio, Xiaomi phones are better than almost all phones. You can get a great Xiaomi phone in just $150. Xiaomi always sell online, so they no retailers. You can also get Xiaomi redmi note 2 too.

k-four-nine 2015-12-02 14:36:46 +0500 #22589

@s15 LOL! Yes, Xiaomi ('Show-Me') does indeed sounds a bit weird and a little too complex...!
Great links though... Apple, who is always busy exploiting and robbing its customers with sky high prices ought to take a note and learn a lesson from Xiaomi...

Yes, I'm (or was) thinking about Huawei P8 Lite myself but that damn Xiaomi got me thinking again with its mouth watering specs at the cost of peanuts!
Brother, I just checked out Daraz.Pk and... As funny as it may sound... they're only selling Xiaomi PowerBanks (What? WTH?)... I've no idea what guys over at Daraz.Pk thinking...
They're selling all kind of Chinese Stuff and yet their inventory sorely lacks the biggest Chinese Brand... It doesn't make any sense.
