Realme 5

[adilfarid]

Thanks.

[k-four-nine]

That is 3 gb variant, and price only for HBL cards

Unfortunately, yes. You need an HBL debit/credit card to purchase the Realme 5 although the Redmi 7A can be ordered by only giving account and CNIC info.

What you guys have ordered on this 11.11 sale? AliExpress and daraz?

[saqibhassan95]

Redmi airdots
(I can't afford airpods pro )

[Arhum]

Daraz are marking down the release/imaginary price of items.

When did Mi band 4 ever sell for 9000. lol

Pudhu bana rahay hai. In reality they have decreased only 1000-3000.

[crossfirex]

I bought this from AliExpress

[adilfarid]

They r useless trust me. Got a pair from china and gave them to my neece after a week or so. Not worth the money

[saqibhassan95]

Thanks for review

[crossfirex]

Does anyone know whether a printer can be brought tax free by air ?

[HellsGuardian]

Ordered nothing from daraz this time. Sale prices were only 1000-2000 less that too only on specific bank cards. This much difference you can get from local markets as well.

Also the vouchers are not stackable so pretty useless

@k-four-nine good news for you

Let's hope they launch it at its predecessor's sub 25k price tag with Android 10 on board and keep the Snapdragon hardware because let's face it; it's the star of the show. Really wish they add a telephoto lens, instead of that rather gimmicky 'depth sensor', but that's probably not going to happen.

Speaking of gimmicks, I think the ultra high resolution cameras (28MP and up) we are seeing on more and more smartphones nowadays are gimmicks as well. Expert photographers BELIEVE that one doesn't need more than 3.2 megapixel resolution to get quality photographs and it makes sense.

Full HD a.k.a 1920 x 1080p resolution equates to just 2.07 megapixels (1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600) and yet it looks absolutely beautiful on my 22" monitor with no pixelation in sight, unless I REALLY flinch at the display, although granted my eyes aren't as good they used to be!

Even Quad HD a.k.a 2560 x 1440p equates to just 3.68 megapixels (2560 x 1440 = 3,686,400) and I consider it an overkill on anything smaller than 32".

Thought you all should know about this as the year 2020 will be all about increasing pixel count on smartphone cameras. Xiaomi already has a 108MP sensor in the works, and that's just the beginning of this nonsense!

Please share your knowledge on types of these quad cameras we are seeing.

Even the dual cameras till now in midrange phones are a joke. Most have a 16 or 20mp primary lens but the other secondary and 3rd and in some cases 4th lenses are cheaper 2 or 3 mp cameras that are a lot worse in photo quality than the primary ones. And don't even think about videos. Even the flagships have 2nd cameras that are cheap and not the same quality as the main camera.

What are your thoughts about the new Razr Phone?

What are your thoughts about the new Razr Phone

Outdated midrange specs, highest end flagship price and the only saving Grace is the history and nostalgia. Gonna be a pass for most but then the older one should have been too but still it was a smash hit so let's see. Saw Micheal Fisher's review the other day and he says he's buying one and I think that's what it's going to sell like. Impulse buys based on nostalgia.

It's an "unreasonable" phone but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This helps it stand out.

Well, that's exactly what Motorola is trying to market: Nostalgia.

Blackberry does the same thing with its 'Key' line-up to cater to consumers who somehow are still on 'crackberry' and miss the physical keyboards of yore.

Personally, I too find this phone to be a bit of an oddity with one leg firmly in the past, the other in the future, all the while existing in the realm of 'present'.

P.S The reason they went with the Snapdragon 710 is because of the miniscule 2,500 milliamp battery. Snapdragon 800 Series SoCs will chew through this battery like no tomorrow!

What will a good condition used S9 cost? Pta approved.
