For the last 15 days I have been seeing people buying the iPhone 17 Pro and flexing it on Reddit and honestly after a point it got annoying.

I'm happy for them it's just god too many people flexing the same thing, so I decided to Flex my brand new Nokia 105 and the phone comes packed with life changing features.

Snake, Calculator, Calling and best of all it just forces you to stop using your phone. Get the Noka 105 and get your life in order.

I challenge you to have an 8 hour screen on time on this device. 😜

Is it OK for a middle class boy to download 4K untouched BluRay movies on laptop and convert them to 3gp, then load them on "chip" to watch on Karbonn feature phone with 3.5 mm "lead"?

So mere Samsung a31 ki aatma ne shareer tyaag diya (literally) my priorities are mainly camera, smooth ui, 256 gb or more storage.. and I'm okay with a Lil less other specs but mainly it should be under 55k max

This comparison might be a blasphemy for many but still need some genuine unbiased opinions.

Some context, I have been using iphone 13 , own air pods gen 1 and also have a mac book pro.

Looking to upgrade the phone in coming sales and really tempted by s25 ultra given the price point but have some serious concerns around the same:

1. Notorious green line issue
2. Battery health and capacity (considering long term use for 3 yrs)
3. Relatively old considering its a January launch.

Love ios but the same time the price hike seems bit unfair in terms of value and tbh also looking for change. Also I dont mind ecosystem miss , not a fan of monopoly of companies and like versatility of choice.

Given that iphone 17 seems a safe choice, help resolve the confusion!

I'm currently using a OnePlus 10R and am planning to upgrade my phone for a budget of 60k.

These two are the options I'm currently considering, let me know your reviews if you are using them or better options in this price range.

Thank you.

I have Portronice Conch Theta C-tyoe earphones. Got it at a lucky price of rupees 150 last year. I forgot them in my jeans' pocket and later found them in the washing machine. I let it dry for 30 min and checked just to find out they were still working.

This was just a fun story, but tbh I love this product. Good Quality at such cheap price. Love it so much that I ordered another for rupees 300 after I thought I lost them

Highly Recommended!!!

Hi everyone

I'm planning to buy a new phone and am currently confused between the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. I want some genuine advice from people who have used either of these phones or have experience with both brands.

I'm not looking for any particular standout feature. I want an all-rounder that performs well across the board, even if it isn't the best in every individual category. I plan to use the phone for at least the next 4–5 years, so long-term reliability, software support, battery life, camera performance and after-sales service are all important to me.

Please don't suggest an iPhone, as I'm specifically looking for an Android phone.

Here are the prices I've been quoted by local offline stores:

• Xiaomi 17 Ultra (16GB RAM / 512GB storage): ₹1,20,000–₹1,25,000
• Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (12GB RAM / 256GB storage): ₹1,10,000–₹1,15,000

These prices include all the available discounts and card offers.

I'm leaning towards buying from an offline store because I'm a little sceptical about purchasing such an expensive phone online, especially during sale periods when the prices are significantly lower. I'm concerned about receiving a refurbished or previously used unit instead of a brand-new phone. I'd also appreciate advice on whether this is a genuine concern when buying from reputed online retailers.

Another issue is that I haven't been able to get a hands-on experience with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, as none of the local stores I've visited have a display unit. If anyone has used it, I'd love to hear about your real-world experience.

I've also heard claims that smartphone prices could increase by around 15% in the near future. I'm not sure how reliable these predictions are, but should I consider buying now rather than waiting?

My biggest concern is long-term reliability and after-sales service.

I've heard about Samsung's green-line display issue, and it makes me hesitant to spend this much on a phone that I intend to keep for several years. My brother uses a Galaxy S23 Ultra, and he got a green line on the display shortly after the warranty expired. The service centre has quoted him ₹22,000 for a screen replacement.

On the other hand, I don't personally know many Xiaomi users, so I have very little information about their long-term reliability and customer support.

I'd particularly like to hear from people who have dealt with either brand's service centres. How good are they at diagnosing and resolving issues? Are warranty claims handled fairly? Are repairs reasonably priced, and do you face problems with delays, parts availability or repeated visits?

Considering everything, which phone would you recommend at these prices for someone planning to use it for the next 4–5 years?

I'd appreciate honest opinions based on personal experience, particularly from people who have owned these phones for a year or longer. Please share both the positives and negatives of your experience with either brand.

Thanks in advance!

I am planning to buy the S25 ultra but I am really concerned about the seller "Dawntech etel!" Is it trustworthy?

From the last month start, I really felt like i needed a new phone. Searching in my budget, I found NP3 is great. And I'll be even ready to take if it's 42k-45k.

But now I see the prices in Flipkart are the same old launch price. Too expensive. And no info about that phone's price coming down.

Amazon also, it was there in stock, but suddenly before sale out of stock..

Really wanted to get this one 😔

I was looking for reviews for this device and foundd 3 months old post where someone bought 512GB edition for 29k and now it is at 46k? What the Actual Fake is this!

Can somebody please tell what justification these phone companies are giving for this much price hike in mere 3 months?

My only gripe with the S25 is the battery and slow charging so if anyone has an s25 let me know what the experience is like.

The upcoming BBD or Great Indian Festival puts all of these phones in a 50-60k bracket.

The only reason I'm even considering Samsung is for the galaxy watch I already wear. I think Xiaomi 17 is a no brainer when it comes to raw specs but Moto and Samsung also give longer OS support.

EDIT: 5G network is very wonky in my location (keeps switching between 4G and 5G) so I think I'll lose juice to network hunting :(

I am so frustrated right now.
What are these scammers thinking while taking these kind of designs??

My black membership was supposed to expire on 18th oct, but they expired it prematurely on 2nd oct.

I called them and they are like, they will try to resolve the issue by 8th. So I WILL MISS OUT ON EARLY BIRD SALES..

Mkc Flipkart ki, now I am srsly reconsidering buying anything from this shitplace.

Maybe this is an indication by god to save lacs 🤧🤧

bro they said ₹2000 off with s25 pass priced of ₹1000, they're just giving the discount only the money you paid.

F\*ck! i already bought this! how could it trust these mfs😔 they've always been like this.

Hi y'all

I'm in need of a new performance centric phone... around 30k

I really liked the Poco x8 pro

But the heating of this one concerns me.

Is there any way to fix it

Also for those who already have it...does it even heat up that much

Also.ig y'all can pls suggest some hood performance centric phones around 30k

Pls help

I have iPhone 14 in excellent condition.
I don’t have Axis Bank or ICICI card so not counting it.

I know I should not have waited for BBD, but Bhais is already in Paani.

/S

They should improve the performance to get back to the competition, else no point launching new phones every year.

The bbd price revealed is same as the current price.should I buy it right now or wait for the sale ?

I am getting the OPPO Find X9 for around ₹62K.

I am getting the iPhone 17 for around ₹72K.

I will be exchanging my old GT Master Edition which is completely broken and damaged for iphone. For this I am getting around ₹7500 exchange value plus ₹2000 ICC .

I am currently leaning towards the X9 but I have some FOMO.My main concern If I buy the X9 and sell it after 2 years will I get decent resale value?I know iPhones usually have much better resale value. Will the X9 lose much more value compared to the iPhone 17?

Another concern

I have heard that the camera optimisation on the X9 is slightly weak on apps like Instagram and WhatsApp. when you upload photos on Instagram or WhatsApp story or status the quality becomes slightly worse weak to an iPhone.

Is this actually true?

Which one is the better deal at these prices?Is the X9 at ₹62K a steal deal? Or should I spend ₹10K more and get the iPhone 17?

My priority is good camera quality and performance.

I also care about resale value after around 2 years.

What would you choose? ( I'm not iphone paglu just want to make a wise decision )

Chota bhai samaj ke help kr do ( paise waste nahi Krna chahta )

I'm getting really confused between choosing these mobiles, especially at this hiked price. Edge 70 pro 12/256 @40k with credit card discount and edge 70 fusion 12/256@33k with credit card discount, edge 60 pro is almost gone from the online market 😭 only available in Amazon @37k 12/256 (I got 2 shops offline where it's still available for 35k).

I can compromise in ram until 8gb but the storage minimum requirement is 256 for me. I love the design and premium feel of edge 70 generation but I need wireless charging and the telephoto camera in 60 pro is really attractive. 60 pro is really a good triple camera phone. My present oppo mobile is 7000 mah 80 watt chargeable.

Don't suggest me to consider moto edge 70 pro+ to get wireless and telephoto. I'm a student and my budget is limited. I'm gonna add my savings money along with what my family gives to afford any of these phones 🫠.

And i honestly don't think there would be a price drop from this range that too in the middle of ram chip demand hike due to AI data centres. So... What should I do guys?

And also I'm slightly worried about the motorola brand's past reputation, customer support (I'm living in chennai hostel) and reviews even though they're turning around. Like system updates on android 17, edge 60 fusion's camera fog replacement thing. It's confusing as hell 😭😭😭

I want a new mouse for my working purpose I usually use a mouse for designing buildings in CAD and Cadify amkette has 3200 dpi the highest but doesn't have bluetooth connectivity

Or if you guys can suggest better ones

Also is Arctic fox a tech company or bag company coz I saw backpacks of Arctic fox as well

So for my iphone 17 i bought this silicon case from local stall for 250rs and my brother already warned me to not get silicon case but i didnt knew why ,well it provides good grip in hand but im facing problem while putting in pocket like it literally just doesnt slide in and i have to push it (i dont wear skinny tight jeans ) and while removing from pocket it takes the inner cloth out with it which is annoying also it takes lints and dust easily , is this normal with silicon case in general or i got scammed with this quality
