Heloo sir
I want to ask weather I should buy refurbished mobile phone ?
What its advantages and disadvantages?
I do not recommend anyone buying refurbished smartphone.
Advantage – lower price
Disadvantage – can lead to problems and no warranty
If seller is giving 6 month warranty for all India Samsung care than ??
I don’t trust him.
Hi, I wanted to ask which mobile under 8k has the best front/selfie camera? Can you please recommend me 2-3 mobiles in that range with best front/selfie camera?
Panasonic P55 Novo
Micromax Canvas Juice3+
Coolpad Note 3 Lite
I have Mi4c, problem with share it and xender. When using the apps WiFi on (Hotspot can’t on) and not connected with other mobile can’t send or receive. 2G network also problem.
Looks like a software issue on your phone. Factory reset or update your software.

It is a decent phone. Other good options would be Honor 7 and Oppo F1 Plus. My pick would be Honor 7. You can get it here http://amzn.to/2eZg0zi
Respected Sir,
Plz suggest me a smartphone having all the latest updates in it,my budget is Rs.20,000-25,000. Apart from it what is your suggestion for Gionee A1
What do you mean by latest updates?
Sir
I mean latest version of android(Noguat),having a good camera, good processor,4 GB RAM,full HD,good battery backup,price between Rs.20,000-25,000
Sir
I am grateful to you for giving me your valuable suggestion. Thank you Sir.
What is your opinion regarding Gionee A1 ?
As it is a Chinese company, will there be any security issue particularly regarding Gionee A1, because I have read the suggestion you have given, that these phones comes installed with spyware or backdoor program that sends out information stored in the phone to Chinese servers.
Gionee A1 is a good selfie phone with big battery. Other than that nothing so special about it. There is always a risk with chinese phones but i think you can trust big chinese brands like Mi, Gionee etc.
sir plz recommend best non Chinese smartphone. my budget is Rs25000. plz focus on following requirements:
1. Fastest surfing
2. data security
3. Battery lasting 12 hours at least
4. Best camera picture quality
5. Device should not get heating while running apps or playing games i.e. no heating issue at all
6. Call recording facility. Can we trust third party applications for call recording?
I would suggest Samsung Galaxy M31 (6GB RAM/128GB Storage). Never trust third-party call recording apps especially the Chinese ones.
how about A series? here, local shopkeeper don’t suggest to buy m series. They are suggesting Samsung galaxy A71 @ Rs 28500.
Quite expensive and not worth it.
Samsung Galaxy M series phones don’t have Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, Secure Folder, Bixby Voice/Vision, Samsung Cloud, Kids Mode, Easy Mode and Samsung Knox.
I’ve never heard about these features. Do these features really useful? if possible, plz explain each of them in brief.
No there are not useful.
Can Samsung Galaxy M31 run Zoom meeting (video) for 8 hours smoothly with no heating issue?
Can’t say about that.
Please have a look at Samsung Galaxy M51. Looks really good and has a big battery.
Yeah, I’ve checked. price difference of M51 & A71 is not huge. M51@ Rs25k, & for A71 @ Rs 28500. Which one i should buy considering durability, running Zoom meeting (video) for 8 hours smoothly with no heating issue, & the other 6 requirements mentioned in my 1st comment?
M51 because A71 has only 4500 mAh battery.
Finally, I bought m51. Working nice! Can u plz help me in buying best speakers for outdoor party like marriage functions?
Budget for speakers?
Budget is Rs20000. I did little research and confused in watts. What watts would fit my requirement? Party area is 15 dhur. https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B003UPJXIC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A14CZOWI0VEHLG&psc=1
Can this speaker meet my purpose? If not, please suggest?
Yes it is a great speaker. I have the the upgrade model Z625 (with extra input options) and the loudness and sound quality is great.
I am looking for a back case that can protect my device at the best.
