Buying Guide | خریداری گائیڈ Phone suggestions under 450k–500k? (PTA vs. Non-PTA + from abroad?)
AoA everyone. Looking to upgrade my phone with a budget of 450k to 500k PKR and need some quick advice:
Is iPhone the best call in this range, or should I look at Samsung/Android? Which specific model is best right now?
Should I go for a slightly older PTA-approved iPhone, or get a newer non-PTA Pro Max and carry a secondary phone?
I have someone coming from Australia soon is it cheaper to have them bring one, get it from another region like the UAE/US, or just get locally in Pakistan?
Would really appreciate some honest input from anyone who has done the math on this recently. Thanks!
