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

[s15]

HMD Nokia is big time flop, they need to make buy 1 get 1 free offers, and then they "might" sell some sets.

6.1 launched with 30k price tag with 3/32gb. Lol.

Overpriced like hell initially and then it does not sell at all, and then they offer huge discounts, literally begging people to buy them. Despite of what it offers, very few buy it.

Should have priced reasonably first and they would have sell far better, as they had good potential.

HMD Nokia cameras, apart from Nokia 7 Plus have all been a mess so far.

[s15]

Nokia 7 Plus was also priced around 49k and now it's around 36k. 13k discount, wow!

Snapdragon 835 Nokia 8 for 36k and that too new. Must have been flops**t than a flagship.

The contrast and dynamic range is quite impressive for a bum basic budget phone but it lack any kind of detail when zoomed in:

As you can see; everything is just... Blurry as if its a drawing made of watercolors.

It's a decent camera; but it's far from being great, even for a sub 20k phone!

I've seen 12k Chinese Phones of unknown origins with much better cameras!

It's a great phone and I believe this is a tactic to attract customers to the brand. I'm also super surprised at the fact that Nokia is offering same prices in pakistan as it's offering elsewhere. 8 was overpriced when it was launched though.

For the sd835, OnePlus 5 also now selling for 358$ in US with same processor, only difference is that Nokia is selling products at same price in Pak as they're selling elsewhere.

Build quality of new Nokia's is also impressive just like their "ancestors"

I bought Mocolo 3d protector for Huawei Mate 10 lite. After few weeks I noticed some dust particles beneath it. Removed it transiently and cleaned with the micro fibre cloth and placed protector again. It sticked but after few days lost stickiness. Mocolo protector has stickiness on top and bottom (black) parts(marks of gum). Any suggestions. Thanks in anticipation.

[s15]

It's junk now. You can only remove it right after installation (within 1-2 minutes) or else it will not stick properly second time.

[ahmadbilalchaudary]

All huawei "lite" models have really sub par cameras when it comes to videos. Specially if you use snapchat, the videos will stutter so badly at night. Same happened when i tried p20 lite. Not impressed, i am good with flagships. These lites are the prime examples of jack of all trades but master of none. Get an old flagship instead.

[afowad]

You are right. These midrangers should not be compared with flagship sets. However choice should be determined by requirements and should not be guided by status symbolic presentation. I am happy with mate 10 lite except for the battery. No special interest in cameras.

[zuhaibafzal]

Looking forward to buy Nokia 5.1

Just put some clear scotch tape on it and leave it for few hours; maybe a whole day for good measure!

And presto; it will get sticky!

Tried, tested and true!

[asharab.butt]

You've got battery timing problems? Have you updated the phone yet?

[asharab.butt]

Because i felt it got better after the Oreo update and even better after i factory reset it.

[afowad]

Yes updated to Oreo. Didn't take the risk of factory reset. Number of files and apps.Internal memory is almost full. Concerned about losing any data. Even if I don't lose data I will have to arrange files again. A time consuming job! I use Moon Reader for PDF files and have categorised files on it.

[asharab.butt]

Having the phone's memory almost full might also affect performance considering your is a midranger. Maybe you should get a sd card and then try. Other senior members will guide better, still I'll recommend putting in time and backing up to your computer and resetting the phone.

[marwan]

Koi is masly ka hal bta do yar.

[512a]

Yaar phone reset Kar k Dekho coz yeh basically to software issue hai

[afowad]

Right will do after Ramadan. May be in Eid Holidays. Can you please suggest me a good SD card. Thanks in anticipation
