Hello there guys, my previous phone Qmobile A600 gave up on me but salute the fallen solider because it served me pretty well for a longer span of time than I expected from it(with root and custom roms and what not.)

Now I require a new phone which falls under the budget of 35,000, I pretty much use my phone for the larger time of my day and mainly use it for torrenting and watching movies along with playing games for a while. I care about quality here, not the brand given that it's easily available/repaired in Pakistan.

It can be used or new, doesn't matter as long as it's good. Another thing is that I want the camera to be very good, I am a guy that hangs out a lot and usually take pictures of anything I see worth capturing along with that I want the sound to be good enough for casual songs and stuff.

That pretty much sums it and guys please give a detailed point why you suggested me(that) specific phone.

Shukriya.

You can either get the Xperia Z2 or the LG G3. I'd personally suggest Xperia Z2 (old but still going strong), the camera on the Z2 is good too, and gives you a lot of options while the camera on G3 has laser auto-focus, however, the G3 has a habit of dubiously heating up and lagging, probably because Snapdragon 801 isn't all that good for a QHD screen.

I'd suggest you stay away from carrier branded Xperia phones, you won't be able to unlock bootloader and that's a huge minus if you're willing to install custom ROMs in future.

I agree with optimus on that point. I have used both g3 and m8. To be honest i did not like m8 that much... But i am pretty much satisfied with g3. It feels good. I love its camera and i have not experienced any lag yet. I have been using it for 11 months. And i am still happy with its performance. Battery is not great(1 day on normal use) but i use quick charger and it does not let me wait for long time😀😁.. If u buy it u won't regret ur decision....

I think opo is not worth when g3 or s5 or other previous flagships are available at cheaper price compared to opo...

You can try it out S5 too. The camera is flawless with many options such as 4k recording etc. I unforunately bought the S5 Plus version which has less custom rom's so watch out. The lerformance is pretty nice too with addition to awesome loaded features such as Fingerprint scanner.

I would recommend Sony xperia z2. Awesome front and back camera and fun to use plus a premium phone of Sony which is well upto date with the firmware and has a battery bigger than a note 3

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
