Up till now we were talking about that 50k phones worth it and now comes HTC with a 57k phone. And that to with a snapdragon 600.

Fail.

Nice to see some competition to apple.

What are they thinking. Google just released a damn good phone at 33K and they are competing it with this.

N

hahah who the heck approves such price....don't they even do a market survey and see at what price others are selling ? this is pure management failure.

You need to be apple to command such prices.

Are phones >20k even worth it? I honestly think they are not.

well, i would buy a nexus 5 and a laptop if i had that much money to spend

.

^And dont forget a damn good fingerprint sensor and a camera and a tablet..

Well look at the positives.Its still much better than an iPhone 5S.

No wonder HTC is suffering losses and going to be bought by Lenovo. They have forgotten themselves that HTC was the first to launch an android.

Lol. Absolutely. IMO, its a waste of money to buy a phone > 20k. Its just not worth the money, no matter how much u justify unless you got a package of like 12 L/PA.
The amortization of what you spend on your phone to your uses just doesn't add up right.

With the 20K logic above why bash only iPhone. Samsung S3/S4/Note 3 etc and such also fall in the "Not worth" category.
At least with iPhones you are assured of a good resale value which you are not in other phones.

If you are refering to my post,

where in my post have I bashed iPhone specifically? That quote in my post about the iPhone is because I found it funny. Not because I was pointing my finger at Apple.

Its of no surprise that someone who states that iphones have greater resale value in markets like India than Galaxy S's and Notes fails to see the OP name in a quoted post.

And finally they launch it 20 mins ago ....

HTC One Max phablet with fingerprint scanner launched at Rs. 61,490 | NDTV Gadgets :shock:

HTC Two max = 1.8 Lacs with invisible technology, you don't see the phone... its only seen by the owner... coz the owner has an embedded chip in his body...

Samsung Note 5 = 1.4 Lacs in true notebook form factor and you think its a paper bound book but the owner can feel the digital world inside the book and he can use a normal reynolds pen instead of the much hyped S Pen...

iPhone 6.... = 64GB - 128GB - 256GB - starting from 2.2lacs upto 4.5 lacs - probably by then the iPhone will be 9" long can be folded away in your pocket...you just open it part by part for the specific activity ... the folds represent each task the phone can perform.... lol..lol

At this rate Vertu will soon become a VFM Phone

Well u will have to compromise so much under 20k.. 35k is a sweet spot though...

No phone is worth more than 7k. I used to think i need the latest and the greatest, but am very happy with my GB 2.3.6 phone. My hard earned money is better utilized in saving/ purchasing useful stuff related to my hobbies/passion
