Bro this is old news and this has already been implemented but even after implentation rates of tax on flagship is 40k (on CNIC) and 30k (on passport)
Even that would have been acceptable but the problem is that FBR system takes launch price as reference. Means even more than 3 years old iPhone 6s plus and latest iPhone 11 have same tax rate which is highly injustice

Recently my old iPhone 6 (which I bought in 2014) got blocked. Called PTA but they're of no help.

Anybody with "Redmi 8" phone ?

[hammad225]

Bro! I think Thats not the case now, recently they reduced the price of registration of iphone 8 , previously it was same as other 500$ plus phone , its category is changed now, less tax for it now , i will wait till 59th day of my 60 days period and then register it

A.O.A

Congratulations on purchasing Realme 5, it is indeed a good phone, I am using 5 Pro 8gb variant which i bought it for 42.5k and my sister is using XT (bought it for 52k) till now, no issues and running smoothly, delivering monthly updates (check the link shared Below)

https://www.realme.com/pk/support/software-update
the difference between 5 Pro and XT is

Dolby Atmos Sound
AMOLED SCREEN
In-Display Finger Print
Camera of XT is 64mp while 5 Pro has 48mp

I was planning for a long long time to buy a good phone and was inclined towards Xiaomi due to its specs and value for money but when i heard of REALME providing Snap Dragon chip-set, I went for it.

check the comprehensive review and ANTUTU comparison below:

I do not use social apps and deleted the pre installed facebook, insta etc etc, i like to read and play games (PUBG, 8 Ball and COD)

Selling a box packed Google Pixel 3 anyone interested can contact me

WAOS thanks for the detailed info sir but I think i will wait because I want X2 (realme) & reason for that is I don,t think XT selling much so they may bring new model also in all markets including india x2 & XT difference is of 1k inr but the processor difference is huge to me 730 is big improvement from 712 specially in graphics & in two months there is also chance of K30 coming to pak so lets see what happens till febuary since i plan to do gaming this is why processor is big thing for me

[NASRUM]

btw looking at the prices i think u got good discount where did u bought from? i am currently thinking to buy a low range phone till the time i save up for 50k+ upper mid range which do you recommend in 13-14k range only option i could think right now is G6 LG but thats a really confusing p0hone becase there are freaking 2 dozen version of it which some support pak 4g some nott....

[vtecyo]

watch from 1:00 - he saying u can bring one phone without paying tax from abroad.

[geforce911]

I bought it from Hafeez Centre In October (5 Pro) and November (XT). X2 is indeed a good option, I really like the new olive/green color. I think you should wait for it. Subscribe to Facebook/Youtube channel of Realme Pakistan for latest news. Also Realme laid out the plan for Color OS 7 (Android 10) release which will begin in January till June.
Regarding low range phone go for a brand which can be sold easily with low loss. Or keep using your current phone till X2 launches. Tomorrow 5s variant will be launched in Pakistan.

Only drawback is no headphones available...........

@zuhaibafzal
Bro do you have an idea about 11 pro max 64gb golden price in lahore? Asking about pin pack or slightly used. PTA approved only

[NASRUM]

i also bought it from hafeez cntr do u think 24 is good price for 4/64 variant of rm5 .... yes waiting will be better option for x2 ,in case of loss I think there is going tobe loss on every phone will not probably buy anything currently but if i get good deal for G6 i might for current use because i currently have moto G it,s ok does,nt lag at all but still media consumption is real bad
Regarding realme 5s its basically same as realme 5 but just a new colour addition which is red colour rest same ..........
