bro i am under the impression that you have used HTC 10, and if you did, then how was your experience with it?
I am currently typing on it, this phone is beyond amazing, exceptional build quality like a tank, sexy af, this phone gathers so much attention you can ever believe in glacier white, battery timing is great, camera is great, headphone jack has a powerful dac, only thing on this device that lacks is the screen panel it has a slight hue to it which you will get used to in a day or two but it should never ve there in the first place, never, but still it has a very high resolution, speakers are good but they are a downgrade from htc m8 m9 u11 or even an s8. Software is beautiful, nearly stock but a bit of very beautiful htc sense, camera shutter is very fast.

I swear there is hardly any day someone asks about this phone, it might be the case + phone combo, i have a nilkin hard case that just protects the phone while mostly keeping it naked from top and bottom. You will never know how beautuful this phone is unless you see it in person.

Cheapest 835 option available is Verizon Z2 force only kit, for 27-28k. Boring design aside Nokia 8 is very sturdy phone.

Only if Nokia 7 plus was in 28k range I am not sure about pricing strategy

Well yes but Nokia 8 has camera and battery issues. Also boring design. As I said, the pros of 7 plus outweighs the cons.

- - - Updated - - -

i couldn't agree more, i already ordered one from ishoping just today afternoon, for about 33,699 with shipping charges. it is simply best bang for buck, i also seen a lot positive and highly recomended reviews of it on internet, like GSMArena, PhoneArena, Android Authroity, Engadget etc
Where will you get the glass protector from? Also when will you get it?

My friend has nokia 7+, I recently took a picture from it in pro mode and i tell you, it blew away my mind, maybe I can share the pic if he comes on monday since he is on some project and goes out of city frequently.
You're right and since it's on Android one, they'll receive updates really quick.

Nokia 7+ is a very good phone but do remember that it has not a very strong chipset, do consider htc U11 as well
I don't think one should go for HTC and stuff. I've my own reasons. I think if one spends so much money then at least the phone should have some warranty. There's this inner satisfaction. Also with PIN PACK phones compared to used ones. Even though they're in good condition but still. New is new.

The chipset is not very strong yes. You're right. That's the main disadvantage otherwise it was a DIRECT buy for me. (lmao)

Wow nice, i'm also looking at HTC 10 (LIFESTYLE) it is exactly the same smartphone as HTC 10 (except for Snapdragon 625 Soc instead of 820 and 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB). The rest of its specs like Camera, QHD Display, Hi fi Dac Sound, battery etc are exactly as same as HTC 10 :). The only problem is that HTC only released Nougat update for USA region and not for Asian Subcontinent, so if i buy i wont be able to upgrade its software, And HTC even removed it from its webiste, but it isn't big for me honestly. As only main purpose of smartphone usage is light social media.

HTC U11 doesn't have a dual camera tho. Where'd you get this new phone from?
From online retail stores, like Telemart, Ishopping, Homeshopping etc have it in stock without local warranty.
[MENTION=5222]cAPTAIN[/MENTION]Wajji the glass protector from Dara.pk probably or from local market, even though it will slightly hard get one, as the device is newly released one :)

Finding it won't be an issue but applying it will be :p

Stop falling for dual cameras, they are pretty much useless. Htc u11 is a very very good phone, only the issue is that no one considers them and when they look at one in person they are blown away. I currently have htc 10 and it is a killer phone, there is not a single phone at the time of its release that could be better than this except maybe OP3T. You can have its accessories from singapore plaza basement like I did, also this phone is available in Blue Area Unicell, they may also have Google Pixel 1 and other stuff. If you are based in Isb/Rwp do visit Unicell in blackhorse market blue area, they have all exotic phones.

I would suggest htc 10 rather than the lifestyle variant, as the later one has a weaker chipset hence not futureproof at all. My htc 10 got Oreo earlier than most phone, I was not even expecting.

The dual camera does work bro. It's not useless and there are many comparisons of single vs dual cameras for those who want DSLR like photos.

HTC u11 is pretty expensive. I always look for a new phone so if a phone touches or crosses 50k, I'll DEFINITELY go for OnePlus 5T which is for 60k.

That can also be done via single camera anyways do check stores physically, dont rely on online prices, htc u11 should be in late 40's new because 8 months ago open box u11 was like 45k.

Just to update you, as i cancelled my order from ishoping, as they called me earlier and they asked me to deposit 5K as advance/guarantee (which is a surprise as i have purchased from them before & they never asked me for advance on CASH on Delivery payment option)

but anyway the main reason for cancellation was they told me to wait 8-10 business day to get my order, which was a deal breaker point for me, so i got it cancelled, and got to local Sadar Rwp mobile market and got myself a Nokia 6.1 for Rs 21,200. They were hardly couple of Nokia Smartphones available in the market, as they told me that Nokia smartphones are selling like Hot cakes at the moment! And they'll arrange a Nokia 7 Plus on monday for me I.A.

Yeah HTC U11+ should be priced in 60-70K mark and U11 in 50-40K mark!

BTW HTC U12+ blew my mind! and the specs are great too this time around! i have always reckoned HTC as Design champion as they make really got Smartphone Designs!

No doubt the phones look good but their software/updates, they suck.

What's the price of 7 plus? Also what about the accessories of Nokia phones?

As I myself will go to Singapore plaza for a 7 plus.

There is a difference in the market price and that of iShopping. 34,000 vs 37,000.

The guy quoted me somewhere in 34-35K mark. but he'll confirm it on Monday!

And iShopping don't have it in stock, but if look at their they say, "Same Day Shipping" that was the main reason i had ordered from there.

30-32K i think for A5 2017, OLX would be you bet!

also the accessories of New Nokia phones aren't readily available at the moment.

I have priced it at 27,000 so that I get serious offers only.
