Okay if I increase my budget to 35K then which one out of these is best:

Xperia-S
Nexus
SIII-mini-I8190


Or is there another new phone better than these in 35K budget?

Thanks
If you are OK with used phones. Go for either the HTC One X or Galaxy S III. For new I would advise you to get the Galaxy Nexus

Xperia S is miles ahead of both galaxy nexus and Xperia ion. Some of the textbook Xperia features such as paranoma mode are missing in xperia ion but not in xperia S.
Xperia S is definitely the best bang for buck in 30K.
The only good thing about galaxy nexus is the stock android. Nothing else.

1) What's the approximate market price of Xperia S in Lahore nowadays?
2) Does the price differ for the black and white models?
3) Are there Korean versions of this phone and how can I differenciate between them? I don't want the cunning sellers to sell me the Korean version for the price of the international version if you know what I mean :frown:
4) Should I get it with warranty or without warranty? How I see it is that if I get it with warranty that would somewhat mean that the phone is really brand new and no hanky panky would be involved such as sliding me used phone which they have cleaned properly or display model which should be cheaper than the brand new model. If I do get it with warranty how much would the phone be?

Thanks

1) Brand New: 32k, Used: 30k (MAX) - 26k (Minimum)
2) Sometimes, white ones are a tad more expensive because they're rare.
3) Not that I know of. Just international Xperia S: LT26i and American Xperia S: LT26a. Both work in Pakistan as US also has GSM carriers.
4) Sony phones don't have warranty in Pakistan unless you get it brand new from HSN.

Good Luck and post pictures when you get it. :)

You seem to know a lot about this phone, have you used it? If so is it worth spending 30K on it?
Are you serious? There is no warranty, so as soon as I walk out of the shop with the phone the seller's liability is nill? If there are any defects with the phone it's my loss then?

A galaxy nexus can be had for 32-33 new depending on haggling skills.
The xperia s for 32, is also a good phone, but slightly smaller screen and better camera.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
