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

[s15]

Most of YouTube reviews are not too saadiq and ameen.

Majority of them are into affiliated marketing.

They just tell what most people want to hear, to earn views and subscribers.

Everybody wants to hear that Apple and Samsung rocks, so they do the same.

Bought a 3T instead of an S7 because I was sick and tired of horrid UI and bloatware. Upgraded from a stupid iPhone and so far it's been a really good experience.
Honestly, the 3T is the perfect phone for someone who likes stock Android and the Google Pixel but doesn't want to spend that much.

How much you got 3T for and from where?

[MoinIqbal]

44.8k from iShopping.pk. It's also available at Telemart.

How is the battery timing as compared to S7?

[MoinIqbal]

It charges so quickly I still haven't found the need to do a 100-10% cycle. 1 hour 12 mins of screen on and 4 hours 35 mins of idle so far.

I really like OP3T, The only thing that worries me is:
* Maybe after 1.5 years i plan to sell it i will get really really low resale
* OP5 is coming so don't know if OP3T is worth now..

Please help me decide really confused these days..

[akdon47]

Im also confused at this point. Oneplus has started promotions for oneplus 5 so there is a risk that the value of 3T may fall quickly within 1,2 months

Well, the 5 will be substantially more expensive. If you're willing to spend up to 60/65 on a OnePlus it'd be better to get a Pixel at that price.
Can't be of much help in resale because honestly, I don't consider it at all. What's your budget and condition of current phone?

If you can wait, do so! I was on a battered iPhone 5s so had no other option. Pixel 2 will also be released in a few months making the original Pixel cheaper.

I was using OnePlus X gave it to my mom though loved the phone but i was bored with white colored phones. Currently using temporary S3. My budget is around 40k not more but just due to the fact i get bored with phones early and Oneplus 5 release i am confused. Spending so much and after that OnePlus won't give me updates for the phone because they may prefer OP5 so i am confused..

[s15]

You sir are very bold about iPhone stupidity, so you are my best friend now.

Should have told about that earlier and i would have arranged you an almost brand new 3T at around 30-32.

Legit international version, not Chinese or other regions 3T.

[MoinIqbal]

The 3T is certain to get Android O and then security patches for the next year. OnePlus 2 even got the latest March security patch. If the S3 isn't driving you Insane like my iPhone did for me and you'll be willing to pay more than your current budget in a month or so, then definitely wait.

2010-2016, a solid 6 years I was an Apply fanboy. This year the stubborn Apply ecosystem just drove me up the wall. NEVER going back to iPhones. I mean, why can't they let me backup WhatsApp to Google Drive!? I've lost all my data moving back to Android.
Anyways, I'll stop there before I rant on for 15 minutes.

Actually taken from Redmi 4A.

HDR mode, it's HDR is pretty aggressive, but in low lights with HDR, it really does take good photos compared to other entry level phones (not midrange phones).

Overall serving me very well, and did not make me feel that i should throw this junk like in the case of most entry level phones and move on to an expensive set.

Even Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram like apps are running better than expected, but 2GB RAM does limit the multitasking on heavy apps and phone starts to slow down occasionally (not painfully slow though) on heavy multitasking, but still very decent performance if limited multitasking is done.

To preserve 2GB RAM, blocked background running of social heavy apps and i use one social app at a time (mostly, even on expensive phones) and it's all good.

Will definitely keep it for longer period of time, as a sidekick.

I have been bluffing my friends with Redmi 4A photos with tag of taken from iPhone 7 and most of Apple fans were like, yaar iPhone k camera ki apni hi baat hai, without knowing that those photos were actually taken from entry level phone xD.

Har cheeze Apple logo k sath achi lagti hai!

[s15]

HDR is on for all low light photos, otherwise​ photo quality is noisy and not good. All from Redmi 4A.

Before deleting this mess, should post it here. Kisi ko to faida ho hi jaye ga as most reviewers call it pathetic low light performance, but it's respectable camera performance for an entry level phone.

Tried similar priced Qmobiles too, they took hell blurry and noisy shots.

8x zoom indoors, Lizard-o-graphy.

Need a regular dual SIM mobile which may work in low coverage areas. Any recommendations from these:

a) LG X Power
b) Samsung J3 Pro
c) Samsung On5 2016

Or any other suggestion less than PKR 18,000

[shahzaibtariq]

Hahahaa. Waqai har cheez "adhay saib" k sath he achi lgti hay. Anyways mine redmi 4a is still packed since i bought it from daraz for 9000​. Now planning to sale it. Actually daraz is launching mobile phone week so will try to grab better phone of xiaomi having Finger print. Btw I heard you have very good experience with daraz during their campaigns like last year mobile week sale.?
