Hi i need to know how much discount shopkeepers can give you on new mobile phones.
For example there is a new set released in market and it got Rs. 25000 price tag, now can you get any discount on this?

If the shopkeepers get it at wholesale price, you may be able to get it at this price with a bit of negotiating.

The flat Galaxy S7 was PKR 62,000 with accidental coverage and official M&P warranty. I went to a shop and asked if they had S7, I said 62 was too expensive and after a bit of arguing, they actually give it for 59,000, which I further brought down to 58,500 for the phone.
They said wholesale price was 57k for the phone and they couldn't go any cheaper than the price they gave me.

HTC 10 is still available. Albeit it's a bit hard to find, but it is available. For around 50k in Saddar.

Get the slightly used S7 Edge if you want.

A7 2016 isn't worth it. Pretty overpriced for the specs that it has tbh.

Get another 6S tbh. It's available around 50-55k for a 32 or 64GB kit.

Yes you can.
6Ps are available on OLX for around 35-40k in good condition.

That's the best cheaper option you can get. Solid specs, solid phone. However, try and get one with a slightly later manufacturing date, since earlier 6Ps are also having battery issues.

Also, 5X doesn't have a battery issue, but a bootloop issue. Common with LGs nowadays, happening on the G4, V10 and the N5X.

Not all SD808 phones, it's LGs crap manufacturing that's causing this.

Boot into the bootloader when the phone is powered off. Hold Power + Volume Down, and it'll get into bootloader and the manufacturing date will show in the bottom left corner.

6Ps official software support ends in October 2017, add about a year more with Custom ROMs and it'll easily last 2 years.

The prices in websites like whatmobile and daraz.. are those wholesale?

WhatMobile is all BS. Their prices are pretty inaccurate.

Daraz doesn't set the prices for the phones on its website, depends on the supplier who'll be selling the phone and what price they get it at.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
