About 47-48k with 1 year Brightex Warranty

Used Set+Charger can be bought from market for <38, however current prices are constant at 40k for used phone.

*USD
Will you be able to claim warranty? If not then get it from the local market. You can get it for 61k with 1 year teletec warranty.

Get it in titanium grey if you can. Looks much more beautiful than marble white while price is same.

From the teletec shop, youll get it for 66k. Get it from some other shop and you'll get it for 61k. Get it from Ghousia Mobiles at Zamzama 4th commercial lane.

Since Note 2 is the only Samsung phone worth buying.... i can help you if your in Karachi. I can get you a further discount on the Note 2 with teletec, greentech or Mnp Warranty

All three are official Samsung distributors.

One word...SUPERB. The best phone I have ever used. I thought it all ends with the iPhone but in the note 2, they have pushed it through the roof. There are so many features and on the large display, it all looks so beautiful. I have heard that S3 has cartoon-like colours and nexus 4 has heating issues which can even cause the back glass to break. So Note 2 is your best option if you can handle it, but trust me, once you get used to it, which usually takes 2 to 3 hours:D, you wont wanna change it.

Up until August last year i was heading Samsung Pakistan.

Now i consult other electronics/mobile phone companies on technology and am trying my best to get my own brand through to the market.

S4 would be a downgrade on Note 2... you should wait for Note 3. BTW i have the Nexus 4 and i am quite happy with it, i have decided to stick with Nexus brand and upgrade to the latest Nexus every year. My HTC One is on its way too... so i really don't recommend S4 at all

Well, as I said earlier, it takes a person usually 2 to 3 hours of continuous usage to get used to using the note2 with one hand. And I am a normal size guy:D. And actually, it looks kind of amazing, I mean its not that 20th century huge phone that it would look wierd:p people say that its too big for a phone, yes it is big, but not too big. It fits in the average size pocket and it fits in the hand and theres also an option of "one-handed operation" for those with small hands :)

The throttling and crashing was due to some telecoms apps that were built into the system. We should not have to worry since we get the stock android rather than a telecom version.

Has Jelly Bean 4.2.2 fixed your Nexus 4? | CNET UK

The mild heat up that the back glass of LG experiences is similar to all other Top End Android phones. For a lot of people LG Nexus 4 was their first Hi-End Android device and hence nothing to compare to. All Hi-End android devices heat up considerably.

I have read on many several forums, sites n4 owners are still saying these heat issues are not resolved yet, most of these people bought phone from play store. Almost every single forum is filled with these complains.

Take a look on this. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40334

You can also check on xda in n4 section.

I know others high end phones heat up too but brother they don't behave like n4. Nexus 4 and Lg Optimus both got same problem. I read somewhere i think on xda that heat issue is because of bad internal design.

Same chip is used in several other phones but I don't see such problem in those phones. Now I can only guess LG really mess it up and to surprise Google knows this problem and there is no official statement from them. I have even seen CPU throttling code by Google in n4.

You are right, first time I hold S2 in my hands I was really thinking it is damn big phone its too big :D but after playing with it for sometime I thought screen size is ok fine :)

Few days ago I was checking a friend Noir A10 and same thing happened again earlier I thought Holy cow too big phone then after some time I was huh not bad fine size :D

Yeah i saw one handed operation feature of note 2 on youtube its cool.

Mine doesnt act like this at all.... and i got it shipped the day it was released. LG internals are as good as any other company and with Google QA restrictions, they are bound to work under strict guidelines. It heats up as much as any other Hi-End phone i have used.

I don't doubt on LG quality I too have used some LG phones. was just talking about internal design. Did you tried games and heavy apps on it like running them continuously for 15mins and more?
