Just get a Moto E5, it should be around 22k. Best bang for the buck smartphone, provided you're not using your phone to play a lot of PubG etc. If you want it as just a modern smartphone with all the modern sensibilities and the ability to run any apps from google play store, this is the best thing.
bro in this budget you can even get a Moto G6 or G6 Plus in grey markets.

& i think a Brand new Motorola G5s would be a better option than a Moto E5!

How's A30 compared to mi 8 lite? 33k without warranty on ishopping 4/64
Mi 8 Lite has better processor in SD 660, while A30 has Full HD Super Amoled Display which is better than the IPS display of Mi 8 Lite, and a much larger battery at 4000mAh instead of 3300mAh of Mi 8 Lite! The rest of specs i think are pretty identical!

& Mi 8 Lite without warranty can be had for 29,499 from Qmart!

Again, depends on what kind of usage you're talking about. If you're like me and only use your phone for occasional apps, music player etc and primary as a messenge/whats app etc device. The E series of phones are perfect, and there's no harm in saving money for other things ;)

Yeah but Mi 8 Lite doesnt have a MicroSD expandable slot! or a headphone Jack which might be a deal breaker for some folks!

In my experience always buy a used flagship phone in this budget. Look for Pixel 2XL, S8 or a One plus phone.

used phones often have issues, I bought iphone 6, got it repaired twice, ended up selling it.
so no thanks, a new phone is much better
As for S8+ I have already used it, it started getting slow, already own op6

You are correct, buying used phones is a big risk. If you are in Lahore then lemme know cuz i know a really good shop where you can get phones.

Also i have s8 which i bought new in 2017 November. The phone hasn't slowed down a bit for me.

The phones which don't have any fault are often sold in friends circle. And when they get some fault they are often sold on shops.

Shopkeepers never pay good for your device they only consider outlook of mobile due to which most of people avoid selling their fault free devices in local market.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    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.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    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.

    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.

    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.
