It's been a month since my dad had lost his iPhone 6.So ordered a One Plus 3 for him today and will be delivered by Monday.

Btw,can you suggest me which app is best for protecting the phone from theft?
clean master applock. I think it's easy for your dad to use
all app protections only stop theft from access phone data. they can restore and use the phone.[frustration]

And,I got One Plus 3 delivered yesterday.I like its build quality and looks as it is made with aluminium and like the fluidity of stock Android.

Will post the review of OP3 soon.

For all lovers of stock Android, Google Pixel & Pixel XL has been launched.

Quote

Google today unveiled its new 'Pixel' brand of phones, geared up with Google Assistant and virtual reality capabilities, as it looks to challenge Apple in the premium smartphone market.

The two phones -- Pixel and Pixel XL -- will be available in India, priced at Rs 57,000 onwards, in 32GB and 128GB versions. The eagerly awaited smartphones replace the existing Nexus line.

The devices will be put up for pre-order from October 13 in India and will be sold by the end of October. The handsets would be available through channels like Flipkart, Reliance Retail, Croma and Vijay Sales in India.

in the market for a new tablet for my mother.
i am really surprised to see no options for a good tablet. budget is 20-30 k.

i have checked every site and all have pathetic hardware. the best i found was the asus zenpad with a puny snapdragon 410. this is 2016 and yet the tablets are having this old processor.
xperia z2 tablet seemed good ( out of date though still better ) but it's not available.

i dont like apple products but i guess there is no other option for me.
apple ipad mini 2 - 20k.
again hardware is out of date and this is 3 years old. i wouldnt mind this since mother only needs to see some youtuve videos and twitter.
question to others - will this lag after the latest ios 10 upgrade ?

apple ipad mini 4 - 28k
much better specs and better hardware than the mini 2 plus more features.

apple ipad air - 28-30k
the price is similar to mini 4 but what i get extra is bigger size plus better hardware than the mini 4 ( a8x vs a8 chip )

any suggestions welcome. i might end up buying the ipad air 2 if mother doesn't mind the heavier and bigger airpad 2.

Thinking to change my 1.5 year old iPhone 6 with an iPhone SE as I got bored with large screened phones.Is iPhone SE a good option now considering it has iPhone 6S features and specs?I saw in Flipkart,Amazon that iPhone SE 16GB is getting sold for Rs.29000.Shall I spend Rs.30K on iPhone SE 16GB or spend few thousands and buy SE 64GB or go for i7?

Unfortunately iPhones don't have upgradable memory as you may have experienced in your iPhone 6 so if you can stretch, go for 64 gb. 16 gb is too less since software updates themselves will eat up the memory.

I was lucky to sell my 6 plus for 22k and get another 7k cash back on my iPhone 7 plus matt black at Viviana Mall, Thane last week effectively reducing my cost to 53k.

iPhone 7 has the newer architecture so would be ideal if you could upgrade to iPhone 7 itself.

My two paise.

Apple Ipad Mini 4 is much better than the others as Ipad Mini 4 has 2 GB of RAM, lighter than the Ipad air by 100 Gms. And the Ipad mini 4 has 8 Mp of camera but ipad air has 5 Mp of camera. So buy the Ipad Mini 4. And Ipad mini 4 is the latest than the Ipad Air.

I have attached the comparison link.

Thanks for the inputs Karthik.Thinking to go for iPhone 7 32GB if budget allows or else,have to stick with SE itself due to lack of money.Is iPhone SE a good buy now considering it is nearly 1 year since its launch and having 6S features at Rs.30,000?

Guys please suggest me a new iPhone(yes Im considering only iPhones) as my iPhone 6 has started acting up weirdly.

I'm considering iPhone SE,iPhone 7 32 GB if I buy in India or will be considering 7 or 7 Plus 128 GB if it is from USA.But,if I get an iPhone from US,I should wait till March end and if I want to buy an iPhone ASAP,the SE would be an option as I don't have money to buy a 7 right now but I'll try to exchange my 6 and buy myself an iPhone 7.

Thinking to change my iPhone 6 with iPhone 7 or iPhone SE as I'm tired with its slow charging.I got nearly Rs.20K offer on my iPhone 6 16GB from flipkart if I exchange it for iPhone 7 32GB.The landing cost of iPhone 7 32GB after exchange of my 6 is Rs.38900 or else will go for iPhone SE 16GB as it costs Rs.27K as I don't have money to buy a 7.In that,you could buy 2 SE's instead of a 7.

There are few phones under Rs.25000 recommended by many reviewers. See here one of the report.

They recommend Xiaomi Mi 5, Moto Z Play, Asus ZenFone 3 ZE520KL, Oppo F1 Plus & BlackBerry DTEK50

Moto z is 40k. Moto z play will be in your budget and the phone looks good for the price.
Increase your budget a little and get the one plus 3t. The best phone for 30k. One plus 3 retails for 28k. 3t has better bigger battery , better processor and better front camera for 2k. If you dont want the extra performance buy the normal 3 variant.
Just caleed the service center to ask for the screen replacement price. One plus 3t's cost 10k. My dad uses one plus x (bought for 17) and guess what's the screen replacement cost ? 10k[frustration]
