Cell Phones Dedicated Discussion (Market Prices/ Troubleshooting/ Advice/ Recommendations)

[s15]

Service centre full display panel replacement costs of several phones under rs. 23000/-. Market prices are much lower, depending on the condition (new or used) and quality of replacement part.

Lenovo
Display quality rating: A, almost like a super AMOLED panel. Display quality speaks for itself, but still too much for their price.
Lenovo A6000 rs. 7500/-
Lenovo Vibe P1M rs. 9200/-

Huawei
Display quality rating: A-, slightly dull colours but still not a deal breaker at all for their price.
Honor 4C rs. 6200/-
P8 Lite rs. 7000/-
Y6 rs. 3000/-

Qmobile
Noir Z10 Rs. 4250/- (Qmobile has no warranty on LCDs panels AFAIK)
Display quality rating: C, because the display has image ghosting issues (major drawback), rest its very good and very sharp, but still very reasonable price for a fullHD display. Apart from image ghosting, its A.

The Great Infinix
Infinix Zero 2 Rs. 6800/-
Display quality rating: F (165,000 colours display are offered only in feature phones not in smartphones, every brand offers 16 million colours display). But apart from colours, its B. Its official specifications confirm its 165,000 colours so called Samsung Super AMOLED panel, but Samsung does not make 165,000 colours Super AMOLED panels to begin with. Samsung Super AMOLED panels are "always" 16 million colours. What a ripoff!

Infinix Note 2 rs. 5650/-
Note Pro rs. 4350/-
Display quality rating: B+, Good enough for their prices and features, but still its higher considering its brand image.

Microsoft
Display quality rating: A, clearblack filter increases sunlight legibility significantly.
Lumia 540 rs. 5700/-
Lumia 640XL rs. 9900/-

Samsung
Galaxy J5 rs. 10500/- (accidental warranty helps in display damage, but it depends on luck).
Display quality: A+, Best in its price range, Super AMOLED.

Display is mostly covered in warranty, but knowing prices helps to make better decisions, as warranty is void if display is broken and you have to pay for the display damage repairs yourself.

IMPORTANT NOTE
These replacement costs are "service centre" costs for full display panel, market prices are much lower depending on the quality and condition (new or used) of replacement parts. This is just a general info, please re confirm the latest prices while making a final decision, as prices vary from time to time. Most of the times, only front glass replacement is required which is much cheaper than full display panel.

Broke the screen (from left upper corner) of my Infinix Zero 2. Called Daraz.pk and they quoted 7,000 rupees just for screen + other charges, like shipping and repair. Everything is working though perfect. But 7-8 thousands for screen of a 18K rs phone is too much.

I had same rant about it too. Rs. 7000 is indeed too much for Infinix zero 2, an unknown cheap quality brand product.

However, most top quality brands in this price range have almost same display replacement costs (at their service centres), but they are very high quality stuff and top brands.

You only need front glass replacement, not full display panel.

Sorry for the loss! How did it break? I mean, is it gorilla glass?

Thanks. While taking it out from trousers pocket it slipped out of hand and landed on floor. It is gorilla glass and had glass protector on it.

Thanks for the detailed info, it is very helpful. I was considering not to spend this much amount on it and instead get the new 4G Infinix. This is the advantage of these low priced phone that if broken or lost, you do not feel bad about it so much

This fall is normal yar! Very strange that it got f'ed for such a minor drop only wo bhi with gorilla glass. I always assume these are just marketing gimmics that it is unbreakable!

Check This vibe-p1m-5-16-gb-2-gb-ram-1-ghz-quad-core-8-mp-camera-black-brand-warranty-lenovo-mpg35931.html . it is written that it is Brand Warrenty model.

Don't order it too quickly. Visit market, try live demos first before making final decision. P1M, huawei Y6 and honor 4C has live demos available everywhere.

Don't forget that P1M display replacement is very expensive. Huawei Y6 is also not too bad either, considering its cheap LCD replacement costs. LCDs can break anytime :P.

If you final it, order the ones with free selfie stick or 8GB USB Drive. That is latest stock and has lucky draw coupon in it too.

Infinix parts are not available in market, my friend had the same broken display issue and we could not find its parts in twin cities almost two months ago. They maybe available now, but the chance is very less.

Best put P8 lite glass protector from market and use it as it is, because Daraz.pk repairs can take upto 2-4 weeks sometimes and they may not replace only front glass.

Microsoft Lumia 640XL advanced camera features overview.

The phablet costs just $185, so i think this info is worth sharing, as i have been using it specifically for its excellent camera capabilities.

It features an excellent 13MP Carl Ziess optics rear camera and 5MP front camera, both full HD video recording supported. It offers some very useful "additional" manual camera controls which are not available in most Android phones, like

1) HDR (Rich capture) with Dynamic flash. It takes photo with flash on and lets you manually adjust flash intensity, reduce it or even completely remove flash from photo in "in post processing (anytime after photo is taken)" and dynamic flash can be re-adjusted anytime later too. HDR is also adjustable in post processing. Excellent feature.

A 30 seconds video demonstrating dynamic flash.

Another 3 minute video about it.
http://youtu.be/EEp2VYZI7XE

2) Manual shutter speeds from 1/16000 upto 4 seconds on rear camera, and from 1/16000 upto 1/8 seconds on front camera. This is mostly found in DSLRs and a key feature in pro photography. With this, it can take bright photos (long exposure) in very dark or blur free photos even in the most challenging situations. Excellent feature.

3)In pro mode, the stock camera app shows live camera perimeters (ISO, shutter speeds, EV) in real time for optimum adjustments, as higher ISO may result in noisy photos or slower shutter speeds may result in camera shake or motion blur.

4)Infinity focus for distant objects and also manual focus for Macros, to create depth of field of your own liking.

5)Exposure bracketing feature, common feature but still many phones lack it in stock camera app.

6)Digital video stabilisation to reduce camera shakes.

7)Living images.

Its great that Infinix Zero 3 is also offering these type of pro controls like macro to infinity manual focus, shutter speeds from 1/1000 or 1/100 upto 10 seconds etc which is very impressive, as its rare smartphone feature. However there is no dynamic flash like system.

@autophile
Knowing that you operate DSLRs, pro controls of Zero 3 could be very interesting for you, as you already know their importance and uses very well. AFAIK, pro controls are not available in Infinix Note 2 4G LTE.

Well G5 has been a disappointment.....hopefully S7 lives up to expectations.

Bro, that modular design is actually the "future". Google "Project Ara" that is also modular based, and will allow users to create smartphones of their own choice.

LG G4 and LG G5 does not disappoint. Even LG G4 was a masterpiece, having expandable storage upto 2TB, removable battery, Pro camera with full manual controls and RAW photos support, which S6/Note 5 does not have and that makes a "huge" difference in advanced photography. Taking LG G4 full manual camera controls and RAW photos support into account, its camera is still way better and way more capable than Nexus 6P, S6, and Note 5 camera, but internet reviews do not mention it because they compare on auto (noob) mode all the time and do not compare in manual modes.

LG G5 is even way more advanced than LG G4 and you call it disappointment. Camera is the most important strength of smartphone and LG offers the best camera experience.

Who would like to buy expensive modules on top of basic 600$ price of the phone itself???? Secondly it is way different than Google's project Ara, would you be able to upgrade processor or RAM on G5? Of course not. It's just a gimmick!
DxOMark.com is professional reviewer of cameras and rates S6 camera better than G4. I don't say LG is bad but it is not fair to compare against Samsung. May be in future they can produce a better device than S series of Samsung, but not till now.
