Hello, I want to switch from Samsung Galaxy A5 2017. I'd like to buy some phone that would last for some time. There's no issue in Samsung A5 but I just want to upgrade. I can buy both used or new.

Also any idea how much my Samsung A5 2017 would sell for? It's 10/10, not even a single scratch, full box and 4 months warranty is still left.

What about Nokia 8?

Nokia 8 4gb ram or 6gb ram will have a noticeable difference?


I've Nokia 8 (New) and iPhone 7 (used) in mind...


Looking for:
1) Phone that will last for long.
2) Good camera with bokeh effects.
3) Well optimized and faster apps (Snapchat, Instagram etc)
4) Good battery.
5) Faster fingerprint.

Go for Nokia 8, not the best camera but killer specs for the price, its 35k new on Ramazan offer from Advance telecom.

I would have straightaway bought Nokia 8 but I have to compromise a little bit on the looks then.
Nothing beats OP 5T but i doubt you can get a new one for 50k, Nokia 7 plus isnt available in Pakistan and Xiaomi isnt releasing 5 pro here.

Yes Nokia 8 isnt a looker but copper color looks different and you can always go for some fancy cover. In market I got a quote for Nokia 6.1 for 20500, I am sure with a good retailer Nokia 8 is even cheaper. And there is nothing like a brand new pin pack item :p

That's true, you're absolutely right.

Nokia 7 plus is available at Advance Telecom for the same price as Nokia 8.

Now it comes to the looks and performance. Either I'll have to buy Nokia 8 for a better processor or Nokia 6 for better looks. I don't know how much difference will be there in both phones.

And now I don't know which one to go for. I can stretch my budget to 60,000 and buy a new OnePlus 5T or buy a Nokia and save money. Lol. Only a person that has used both phones can tell the difference.

There's a gap of 25 thousand in both of them. (Almost a new phone can be bought in this range) :laugh1:

Nokia 6.1 is an excellent mid ranger, with average camera but superb build quality, only let down is 32gb memory but then again in market it is available for 20500 and that is a killer price for such a phone good alternate to nokia 6.1 is redmi 5 plus but both are mid ranger phones .. only flag ship phone available in 30k range is nokia 8, OP5T still will cost you 60k without warranty,

Exactly. A 60k phone without a warranty isn't good for a person like me. Haha.

Also it's double the price.

I've done a lot of comparisons and seen a lot of videos. I think the Nokia 7 Plus wins but then again, it isn't a flagship phone and that's why Nokia 8 attracts me. It's really confusing. I buy phone for a long time and that's why I take a lot of time in buying. :laugh1:

One major drawback of Nokia 8: Its battery!

and a major turnoff of Nokia 7 Plus is the corning gorilla glass 3!!!

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

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

    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!
