a friend of mine wanted to get a phone, he was leaning towards mobile market/olx but i suggested PG. he told me to find a suitable deal for him,
i found him this one

this guy sold me a faulty LG G Pro for 16k,
we agreed upon a 2 days checking warranty period.
then he tells me that he his going out of city and that his brother will deal with me, anyways we meet up and i check whatever i could in the phone on the spot and ask him about the battery timing.
he tells me that at least 5 hrs of screen time is guaranteed,
i take the phone home, charge it to full, put in my sim and setup my google account wagera, then
play a video (1280x720, mkv, h264 file) and the phone battry drops to below 20% in an hour,
i initially blamed the compressed video file for eating up the battery and charged the phone again, then i used it to view some lectures (PDFs, Powerpoint), thw WiFi was on and only connected aps was FB messenger and within 2 Hrs the battery is down to 45%. (P.S the brightness was set to lower than what Auto Adjust would do, and consider the screen to be on 80% of the time during this 2 Hr period)
i contact the person's brother and and after a lot of playing around about how it was my usage style and even Samsung S4 wont give more than 4 Hr of screentime and that 1 Hr of video playback is what i should expect, then contact the actual seller, tell him about the problem, and he says
"if the battery is giving u problems, i should get a new one. the device is urs now, i cant do anything"
and all this happened within our agreed upon warranty period.
now my purpose is not to get the money back as the friend i bought the phone for has already bought a new battery, he said to chase after the cheater for a battery isnt worth it.
the bad thing here is that this friend of mine isnt happy with his first experience with PG,
i have been a silent member of this community for a long time and many a times a hv recommended PG to my friends for phones, gaming hardware stuff etc,
this guy should be penalized for his unfair practices here on PG.
i also hv complete text conversations with him and his brother to prove all this if needed.
