| ![]() The ZUK Z2 is launching in India soon but it will be called Lenovo Z2 Plus. I was waiting for this phone for a long time since it meets all my requirements. Good hardware - it got SD820, 4 GB RAM Minimum 32 GB storage - this one got 64 GB. 5" screen - check Good battery life - this comes with 3500 mah battery. Only thing unknown is the camera quality and the user interface. Hopefully, should not be a deal breaker. I would have got the MI5 but did not buy it because of some complaints like poor 4G connectivity/sub par camera and battery life. The ZUK Z2 should be a big hit if it is launched around 20-22K. Basically, it will be similar to Oneplus 3, slightly smaller in size but with a bigger battery. The new 5" Nexus will be a very good option as well but I expect it to be priced well above 30K. |

Flipkart has another flash sale coming up tomorrow at 12 PM for the Redmi 3S Prime and I am in two minds if I should order this or something else! I intend to gift a no-frills smartphone for my wife and she doesn't use it for any fancy apps. And how easy is it to get one during the flash sale? Do the stocks get exhausted quickly like those IRCTC tatkal tickets? | |

It gets over super quick. I was logged in ahead of time and remembered about the flash sale just a few seconds before but it was pretty easy. Give it a shot if you have a bit of time tomorrow but don't break your head over trying to score one. It's not worth that much. You're probably better off with the Redmi Note 3. I think the processor is slightly better. | |

![]() Dad got himself a Lenovo Vibe K5 Note which has some 3 GB RAM and I was seriously impressed with the build quality, display and the UI (butter smooth if I can put it that way) when I saw it last weekend. It's a bit wide and there's a smaller Vibe K5 3 GB (link) but the downside being Android Lollipop that this device comes with. She can live without a fingerprint sensor as well. But can't really complain for Rs 8.5k! | |

I have Moto X Play and recently picked up Redmi Note3 for my wife. Fingerprint sensor in redmi is pretty responsive and waking up & unlocking directly is actually very convenient. Especially Redmi is available for 9K (10k - 10% flipkart citibank discount) is bang for the buck. Now I feel manually unlocking Moto X play to be very boring and planning for upgrade soon ![]() | |

In all due probability I will pick the Note 7. I usually keep my phones for long and the Note 7 is just too tempting. These small issues will be there in all the phones if you want to nitpick. | |

You are very correct. There is no perfect phone. Each phone will have some things against it. The note7 is fabulous with very little cons. It is the "go-to" phone in the market. Get it. Let us know what you think about this device. |

Marshmallow Largest battery UI / custom apps better than xiaomi USB otg. Power bank. Above average camera.laser autofocus. Hard cases available. The newer 630 chipset is octacore due to marketing reasons .according to reviews it has less battery life than the previous chipset. I just bought one and I'm happy with the stock setup after uninstalling /disabling a few apps. It can be had for 8k on sale /coupons sometimes.I got mine for 9 k and put a 64 GB micro sd in it and bought a 64 GB pendrive . All within your budget for a very decent work machine.I attend presentations/lectures a lot and take extensive photographs of slides .Then I transfer pics to my PC to work on summaries etc. Xiaomi redmi 3s is a strong contender.but ASUS is offering 5 GB of web storage for lifetime. And 100 GB Google drive space for 2 years free.It makes a compelling package. Last edited by drsingh : 31st August 2016 at 09:07. | |

| ![]() Sorry OT, but I tried the apple music app on android and man, they have some serious collection of music. Not that it was totally unexpected, but gaana and wynk just don't come anywhere in the vicinity of collection put out by apple. Three month free-trial got the better of me, though I'm not complaining. I'm an android fanboy so this was a first for me. Forgive me android gods! ![]() |

Apologies for back to back posts. I'd say wait for nexus if you are willing to spend 20+ on a phone. Most of the offers that you are getting are going to make you spend more. They are there for distraction. Nexus phones are for the long run, even when they are not supported officially. Aftermarket support for nexus is simply amazing. I have velocity rom (MM) on my N4 and man it flies with 2x in animation settings. This is when I bought my N4 almost after a year or more of its launch. I want to use my nex more often but then as you mentioned (for N5), battery is the sore point. Last edited by lordvader : 31st August 2016 at 22:30. | |
