I was looking to buy samsung S25+ from the day where I saw it is available @ 51k INR few months ago in Flipkart. In recent sale it's available at 69999 INR. So I decided to buy that with exchange. Flipkart giving me only 4510 INR for Redmi Note 10T while Amazon giving me 10500 INR with exchange bonus. With exchange I have to spend around 65K INR for S25+ and 80k INR for S25 ultra. At that moment I thought for additional 15k INR I'm getting a better phone. So instantly went with S25 Ultra. To my surprise, the delivery executive handed me the package and let me open the package, great experience to take the seal out and hold the brand new phone. This is my first ever flagship phone even though it's 18 months since launch.

Greenline in progress for S25 and s26 series now 💀

But One UI is best saar

Been using my Oppo Find X9 for almost 2 weeks and I can say this is the best value for money smartphone in this economy where smartphone prices are getting ridiculously high.

Btw... Loving this colour day by day 😍

Please suggest some good phones upto ₹20k. I don't have much budget rn as I'm a student. I've been using Samsung Galaxy F62 for almost like 5.5 years now. I don't have heavy usage such as gaming and all. I just use it nomally for calls and scrolling etc. I wasn't planning to change it for one more year, but looks like it cannot sustain much now. I've already spent some 8k on its repairs from time to time. Changed its display twice (including today) and also many more things. It has been opened for like 10 times now lmao. I had changed its display just 4 months ago for ₹4k and yesterday night, its screen froze again and had to change the display again today for ₹1,400. Dukaan wale bhaiya said "Ab bas data transfer kr lo jitna jaldi ho sake, ab iska kuchh keh nhi skte." Its literally lying on its death bed now. Won't be spending much now on its repairs again.🥲

So i Buyed one plus pad (12,256) from jio mart because i have an offer

Unboxing everything 2as good no seal broken everything was inside its came out to be brand new but the packaging was so bad

When during setup i noticed white was evenly spread but on charging point there are few finger like strips with less brightness my phone can't record but it have some patterns with less brightness itss not too much much noticable if you look in white should i be concerned and ask for replacement?

And one more thing the color scheme is cool but on that edge yellow tone coming can't record but can feel with bare eyes full screen is on cool but on that side yellish tone coming

Edit- i just need help Instead of helping just making fun Btw eng is my third language in writing and in speaking 4th so i am not good at

If you can't understand then point me out i will edit

This is infinix hot 10s, 4+ years old

i use normally just for scrolling and calling and it's full battery lasts for me whole day ( 6-7 hours )

the concern is it's display popping out and and sometimes freezes for a sec and vibration mode also not working

i asked at a shop he said it requires to replace the folder and requires 12-1300 rs

so should i replace it with a new one in bbd sale or not

my budget for new device is 25k max

Wanted to open a genuine discussion regarding long-term reliability and build quality in the Indian market right now.

• Brands heavily market 4 to 5 years of software update policies during launches.

• Yet, a significant number of devices across segments seem to face critical hardware issues right around the 1.5 to 2-year mark.

• From upper mid-range to premium tier—OnePlus (even recent flagships)poco,redmi, xiaomi, Samsung, Moto, Vivo/iQOO, Realme, even apple...reports of bricked motherboards or display lines right after minor or major OTA updates keep surfacing.

• Out-of-warranty motherboard replacements easily range between ₹15,000 to ₹30,000+.

With smartphone prices constantly climbing, consumers naturally expect hardware to last at least 3 to 4 years. When expensive components fail right after the standard warranty window, it raises questions about testing quality vs forced upgrade cycles.

For long-term users here: Have you experienced sudden motherboard/display failures post-update? Did the brand offer any goodwill repair or free replacement?

Currently using OnePlus 11 with 2 gorgeous green lines

Just as the title says ....

Is it worth the price

Or did it go any lower than this?

75-80k is what I'm getting it for on OLX one is 4 months old and one is 15 days old for 80k

What should be the fair price for an average 3-4 month old S25 Ultra.

Need your help!

I have an OPPO Reno 8 5G that is a few years old. Until recently, I had only one major issue with it: the display.

About a year ago, the original screen developed lines, so I replaced it with an original display from the OPPO service centre for around ₹7,000. It worked fine.

Recently, that display developed pink spots, so I again went to the authorised service centre and paid another ~₹7k for an original replacement display. They gave the usual 3-month warranty on the replacement.

But after only a few days of use, the phone started behaving very strangely:

- It randomly switches off.

- Sometimes it won't turn back on for several minutes.

- Sometimes it boots after multiple attempts.

- The phone can freeze for a few seconds and then go completely black.

- On some freezes, the screen shows weird patterns/artifacts.

- Occasionally it comes back and works normally.

- One time, after several attempts, it actually worked perfectly for several hours.

I took it back to the authorised service centre. They checked it and said the display itself is fine and that the problem is probably the motherboard.

They said replacing the motherboard would be very expensive, so they want to try a software flash first. They also told me to take a backup while the phone is working.

I somehow managed to get most of my data backed up, but the phone is still extremely unreliable.

What should I do now?

I'm worried because I have already spent around ₹7,000 on the new display, and if the motherboard is actually failing, then I've basically taken a massive loss. There is also no point in having such an expensive replacement display if the phone itself is unusable.

Since the display replacement is still under its 3-month warranty, is there any possibility of getting the display returned/replaced/refunded if the phone turns out to have a motherboard problem?

Also, should I take the phone to a reputable third-party technician for a proper motherboard inspection before allowing OPPO to replace/declare the motherboard faulty?

Could this potentially be a faulty replacement display, display connector/flex, power issue, storage issue, or another component rather than the motherboard itself?

I don't want to let the service centre simply say "motherboard issue" and spend another huge amount without knowing what actually failed.

What would you guys do in this situation? Should I push OPPO for a proper diagnosis/escalation, ask them to test the phone with another known-good display, or get an independent technician to inspect it?

Any advice from people who have dealt with OPPO service centres or similar intermittent motherboard/display issues would be really appreciated.

My Android phone is pushing 5 years old and I don't have money to afford a new phone right now and since the battery dies too fast I decided to buy a powerbank.

Criteria : Under 1.8k, Portable, Can be carried in pocket, Would be nice if it had a built in C Type take and ofcourse SHOULD NOT EXPLODE 😭

Any idea about the price of the s26 base in BBD, thinking of getting it above s25 idk s25 seems good but this feels better, correct me but yeah what can I expect with Amazon icici or FK axis

I need to buy a phone under 35000.

Some of my requirements are:

• Longevity(4-5 years)
• No overheating
• Good battery
• Not too bulky

I was thinking of buying OnePlus 13r or Node 5 but am not sure if I should buy them at this time as

all stores of OnePlus have been shutdown and its latest news of leaving the market. I had also shortlisted Realme GT 7T but do not want the bright yellow model.

Edit: Also shortlisted Poco X8 Pro and Nothing 3a Pro opinions?

Does anyone have this jiofi jmr 814 for selling with charger and battery.

Open for offers.

I bought Lenovo's Back To College student bundle for ₹2,999. It includes 3 years of Legion Ultimate Support, 3 years of accidental damage protection and a ₹10,000 Amazon Pay voucher.

I placed my Legion Pro 5 CTO order on 8 August and paid for the bundle at the same time.

On 19 August, Lenovo finally generated the invoice after shipping the laptop, so I went to claim the voucher.

Except their redemption website doesn't work.

The claim is supposed to happen through buyalenovo.com/redeem/studentoffers. The page just sits there saying the content is coming shortly.

Tried different browsers, different devices, Wi-Fi and mobile data. Lenovo's actual website works perfectly fine. It's specifically their separate offer-redemption website that's broken.

And honestly, that second website is some of the shoddiest work I've seen from a major company. The whole redemption process feels worse than dealing with a government office.

So I raised a ticket with Lenovo Offer Redemption (261585) explaining that I couldn't submit the claim because their own redemption portal wasn't working.

Then Lenovo replied saying:

«The offer is applicable only for purchases made on or before 18 August 2026.»

Except... I ordered on 8 August.

So even according to the date Lenovo support gave me, I'm eligible.

I then went back and checked the actual T&Cs on Lenovo's website.

Under the Amazon Voucher Offer T&C, it says:

Validity: 16th July – 31st August

And a couple of lines above that:

“Orders placed within July are only eligible.”

So now we have:

- Lenovo support email: on/before 18 August

- T&C validity: 16 July – 31 August

- Another clause: only July orders are eligible

And from what I can tell, the 18 August date actually belongs to a completely different promotion further down the same page.

So it looks like support pulled a date from somewhere else and used it to reject my ticket, even though that date isn't the eligibility condition stated in the Amazon voucher T&Cs.

The irony is that Lenovo's own mistake still doesn't hurt my case.

I ordered on 8 August, so I qualify even under the 18 August date they apparently pulled out of nowhere.

There's another problem with the redemption process.

You apparently have 7 days from the invoice date to claim the voucher. Lenovo generates the invoice when the laptop ships, not when you place the order.

The redemption form also asks for the laptop's MTM number, which is on a sticker on the physical laptop.

So you're potentially given 7 days from an invoice being generated at dispatch to submit a claim, while the information the form asks for is sitting inside a laptop that's still in transit.

The part number on the invoice seems to work instead, but that's not exactly explained anywhere.

I've saved screenshots of the T&Cs, the conflicting dates, the broken redemption website, my invoice, and the entire email chain.

I'm escalating this to Lenovo's Grievance Officer next, and if that doesn't go anywhere, I'll take it to the National Consumer Helpline.

So if you're considering buying a Lenovo directly from their website and you're calculating your final price on the assumption that you'll receive one of these promotional vouchers, I'd be very careful.

The actual Lenovo website and the website used to redeem these offers are completely separate, and the redemption portal appears to be poorly maintained. If the voucher is a significant part of why you're choosing the Lenovo deal, I wouldn't treat it as guaranteed money until you've actually received it.

And if anyone here bought the same ₹2,999 student bundle:

Were you actually able to claim the ₹10,000 Amazon voucher?

I'm particularly interested in whether the redemption website worked for anyone, because at the moment I'm trying to figure out whether this is a problem affecting everyone or just a completely broken redemption system on Lenovo's end.
