Guys i have finally shortlisted after so much research online and suggestions. Just need to select one from these. I will be listing my likes and dislikes below:


  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 4GB (25,900 Rs.)

Like: It has a good battery life and dirt cheap as new.

Disike: It has a poor camera result in low light conditions. Doesn't have NFC.



  • Lenovo P2 (28,000 Rs.)

Like: It has a huge battery life. Some reviewers even survived 3 days with moderate usage. It has a great build quality and Super AMOLED screen.

Disike: Can't find any. It's just that the phone is little old and may have warranty issues in Pakistan.



  • Huawei Honor 8 (38,790 Rs.)

Like: This is one beautiful phone. The processor is damn fast better than P10 Lite. The camera quality is good too.

Disike: Checks all the boxes but not sure if i will be able to find a new one in Pakistan and it's little expensive.



  • Huawei P10 Lite (29,500 Rs.)

Like: This is alos a beautiful phone. The processor is fast. The camera quality is quite good. Has knock sense technology, app twin, USB OTG,built-in eye protection mode. This phone is recommended by my friend several times.

Disike: The only thing i can say is that it's processor isn't faster than Honor 8 that obviously due to price difference. I am only worried to buy Lite version because i had a horrible experience with P8 Lite as some of you guys know already know. It has absurd build quality, gold plated materials just wore off completely from sides and WiFi IC died so..

I will try to visit market today to get hands-on experience with these phones. In the meanwhile which one do you recommend from these handset?



Note 4 or p2 bcz they got 14 nm chips which are much better than old 28nm.

And p10 lite 4gb/32gb is for 32k
Yeah i went to the market today. The shopkeeper told me 34,000 but he was ready to come to 30,000 i guess. I told him you're selling it very expensive. The other shopkeeper told me 28,500 i guess he was talking about 3GB variant. I forget to ask. =(

I still haven't been able to get the phone. Now Huawei Mate 10 Lite has been released and it's being sold for 30,000PKR. I am confused between Huawei P10 Lite and Huawei Mate 10 Lite. Huawei Mate 10 Lite is new so there are some opinions on GSMArena that it's battery drains fast and it lags. Also it doesn't have NFC. What do you guys think? Maybe anyone bought this here?

So i will be going to the market tomorrow on Saturday to buy a phone finally. I want to know that Is P10 Lite still a valid choice or is there any new option? My budget would be 30K.

Don't believe comments on GSMArena, they're all morons.

Both of them are great phones.
However, if the newer one is available at 30k, might as well go for that?
Mate 10 Lite has a better camera and larger battery as well.

Yeah i was quite inclined toward Mate 10 Lite when it was announced but it doesn't have gyroscope sensor and also lack fast charging. It also lack some of the feature P10 Lite has like Knuckle Sense Technology. That is why i am ditching Mate 10 Lite.

How much did you get it for and would you recommend it?
I got it for 27,600PKR from New Sunny Mobiles Dubai Plaza, Rawalpindi. Yes, it's an awesome phone, i am enjoying it till now. The only thing i miss is that it lacks "Double Tap to wake" feature which i had in P8 Lite. I am little habitual for that. But still it's fine because there is a fingerprint reader for that now and i don't want to install a separate app for this little feature. I think i should be habitual to this new thing now. :laugh1:

I charged my P10 Lite to 100% on Saturday around 1PM and then use it for little bit of gaming, lot of WhatsApp, Live Streaming, Web Browsing, Imo Call for amount 20 minutes, Installing Apps and SMS and got the battery to 17% on Sunday's morning with this SOT (image attached):



Is the battery any good? Please let me know!

About the phone, I am pretty much satisfied with only two minor issues: One is that it doesn't have Double tap to wake feature and second is that phone is quite slippery, i have put on the case on it but still the case is slippery too lol.

I've read that 3080mAh battery in the Mi A1 lasted for roughly 15 hours with heavy usage. That was indeed cool!

    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!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
