What about the warranty? and when MI 6 will launch?

Is it worth waiting for One Plus 5 and Xiaomi MI 6 ? OP5 will be available on sale on Amazon.in from 22nd June, however, there is no official news of MI 6 launch date.

Op5 and mi6 will both be 30k+
Also mi6 is available on alieexpress

According to the latest news article in gsmarena on OnePlus 5 the cost will be well past $500. So I think we can expect the OP5 to cost around 40k.

Hi There,

Although I am an MI fan, I just want to bring to your notice one thing. Xiaomi tends to heat up a lot, I have 3 MI devices all suffer the same problem in long run and the battery drains like anything. So do consider this point when buying it.

zenfone 3

I would suggest you go for Nokia 5 and Nokia 6.
These babies are definitely going to rock the market.

The best nokia could muster Nokia 6 has snapdragon 430, and it will cost about Rs 13k. At that price, there are much much better phones available

LOL WHAT!

I don't think nokia will ever compete with anyone if they keep their current pricing.

Moto G5 Plus (4GB/32GB) @ 17k

What about Lenovo P2? It looks promising and suits my requirements though.

Lenovo p2 is a good phone with not so good camera and design.

Exactly, the camera is average but all other aspects are practically good.

or Redmi note 4 or Redmi 4.

How about the latest Lenovo K8 Note ? Is it a good deal despite knowing the fact that there are camera and heating issues ?

Probably, Lenovo may fix such issues in next update, what do you guys think about this ?

K8 Plus will launch today with Mediatek Octa core Helios processor. Also, Mi A1 looks promising.

Yeah Mi A1 with SD625 sounds way better than K8 plus (powered by MediaTek) .
