Imma Pindi Boy!
Need to buy an android gadget for my wife. Her usage is 80% youtube and then some pintrest, instagram, whatsapp, facebook etc so even 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory would work (she is already using a Moto Razr M XT907 and is satisfied but the XT907 is required somewhere else). I am looking towards buying the device that offers best value for money and I dont have to change it for atleast the next 2 years.

I have narrowed down to three options:

1. Moto X in Rs. 8,000
Its the cheapest 2GB RAM phone

2. Motorola Droid Turbo in Rs. 12,500
Its the cheapest 3GB RAM phone. She doesn't really need 3GB but it would be a good choice for future as it has a better screen, battery and can support lots of apps/ multitasking (if required)

3. Amazon Fire HDX 7" in Rs. 6,000
Keep the sim in a Nokia Asha 210. The seller has changed the OS to Android Kit Kat. It offers a bigger HD screen which is a plus for youtube but there is no glass protection, the other two have Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which may save the touch screen against drops

Pl enlighten me with what would be the best purchase in such a situation?

The Droid Turbo. Update it to the latest stock ROM and you'll get a good combo of performance and decent battery life.

Will be future proof and should have no issues with multitasking​. Facebook and a few other apps you mentioned are RAM hogs so 3GB RAM should be perfect.

I have bought the Amazon Fire HDX in Rs. 5,750 + Rs. 250 Shipping via OCS + Rs. 250 Pouch
I am very impressed. The screen is sharp, the speed is good. It has ample space to install as much apps as you want. Mine has a Nano-SIM slot too. I haven't tested the sim yet.

CONS: No card slot, No back camera

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    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 you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️
