Require mobile-Budget 40k max

1. Budget? 40k
2. Display type and size? preferred 5.5 or less is also ok. I use Sony C5 which is 6" and bit too big.
3. Dual sim? Yes but not too imp.
4. Preferred choice of brand? Any. I can see only Huawei,LG,One plus and samsung league.
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? front flash not compulsory. back cam preferably dual cam setup
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc). Android N
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready). 4G, VOLTE support will also be good
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? camera,internet
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? waterproof or atleast resistant will be nice, metal body will also be positive point
10. Any other info that you want to share
I find soo many complains about One plus 5, it was my first choice but if problem like screen slow, wobble then not goona take it.
LG G6 is so unpopular, even if it ticks all boxes I am scared about it
Samsungs C9 pro is not good, S7 is above budget, what else?
Huawei Honor 8 i liked but is it reliable

Huawei Honor 8 Pro
Better build than OP5
6GB + 128GB storage

Hmm but is it good..kirin processor

Awful EMUI :yuck:

I would recommend LG G6. As you said, it ticks all boxes. As some reviewers say, its the flagship that no one will buy.

Regarding the boot loop issues, I searched online about it few weeks aggo when I was looking for a phone for my father. Apparently after G4, the issue is comparatively less. I couldn't find much on V20 & bootloop issue (there's one post on reddit though). So I think G6 should be much safer in that regard if that's what you are worried about.

Samsung C9 Pro is definitely not worth the money. I bought C7 Pro for my dad & I would say that its night shots are similar to my 2 year old Z3 Compact's shots in terms of noise. Overall the camera is better than Z3 Compact & it captures images quickly in daylight but as all the reviews say, its poor in artificial & low light.

You can always consider OP5 64GB or Honor 8. Check the comparison of geekyranjit in YouTube. I found both of them good, obviously Honor 8 is a bit better deal due to price.

Regarding reliability of Honor, remember that its owned by Huawei, which is a much older company compared to OP or Xiaomi. My mom has Honor 4X which is 2 years old & it didn't have any problems till now.

The Kirin 960 is flagship grade, its CPU almost matches S835 & E8895 but GPU is in S821 & E8890 league.

thanks @anupam_pb for detailed answer..

I have considered all of the mentioned handsets...saw that video too which says G6 is the flagship which no one will buy...already saw geekyranjit's comparision also...saw soo many videos...but yet got confused

LOL

What's your confusion now? I think with a 40k budget, G6 is a no-brainer

G6 have 4 gb ram and nowdays all have 6GB ...feels like spending so much and getting less again (bought sony c5 with 2GB when all had 3GB standard )

4GB is more than enough.

I am also looking for a phone in 40k range as per my research G6 is the best device available at around 37k but my only requirement is LTE+
I am not sure if LG G6 support all jio Carrier Aggregation combinations.

Jio works fine in my 2+ year old Z3 Compact which doesn't even have VoLTE. In rural area with just 1 signal bar I'm getting 1-2 Mbps speeds (except after 8 pm). So I doubt there will be any problem with G6. India is behind in terms of technology, so I doubt it would use the latest mobile modems to full capability.

I have delayed my purchase by 2 months till diwali...I will wait for new models...if i find nothing then I will get LG G6 .
I will add waterproof as my good to have requirement.

So I am back with my query...

My wife's mobile got lost so I have to get one quickly.

My budget - 40k

option
1. OP5 8 gb
2. OP5 6 GB
3 LG G6
4. Huawei Honour 8

any other options/suggestions

G6 or V20 if your wife won't ever look for custom roms or other stuff like that. Otherwise OP5 depending on the storage requirement.

Huawei Honour 8 Pro

For us 64gb is fine..We will never use custom rom..games we play is ludo and candy crush..
Just Want a good phone with premium to hold

Honor Pro 8 much better premium feeling

Why don't you go for one plus3T(very much under the range)

Or you can also go for Galaxy S7

Galaxy S7 is still above my budget...and I wont pay 50k for a 1.5 yr old released phone. Same with 3T.

Camera is one of the imp thing I consider. but I am really confused with all 3 type of camera types
OP5 have normal+zoom
G6 have Normal +wide
Huawei 8 have BW+Color

what will be the estimated price of LG V30...any guess?

With the LG V30 revealed yesterday, the main Camera - IMX351 with 1/3'1 sensor and 1.0m pixels, I am worried about the quality of photos in low light. The V30 might sell in India around 50K.

hmm but it looks different..and good looking. but around 50k is too much..i will pass it then.
Yesterday used gray one plus 5 and it was dulll and boring looking and not premium looking at all. My Sony C5 is better looking then that.

It is upto you to decide whether you want good performance or subjectively good looks.

I liked the old design more...again played with one plus 5 and nope still didnt got excited...a plastic back and boring look didnt impress me

I better go to mall and check LG g6 and huwai 8 personally

Since when does Op5 comes with a plastic back? IIRC it is made of aluminium.

ooh its alumunium..thanks I didnt know, it felt like plastic..even the owner told me that

Take a look at honor 8 pro

So finally I bought LG G6 because of an awesome deal from Reliance digital

they sold a new box pack just for 31500 . The deal was soo awesome that there is no way I could say no to it. :bananana:
