I have one question?Is Daraz trusted company?Do they provide quality products?
i have bought hot note from daraz and its working fine so i can say that it is a trusted company.
I heard the audio quality of hot note is bad? Can u tell?
no ear phone quality is bad not output
o mere bhai output quality b thek ha, 13000 mein qmobiles k chawal aur bakwas mobiles k ilawa aur milta kya ha :D
well it seems fine to me, it’s been more than 2 weeks m using it, so far no issue of any kind.
I have the hot note. The speaker is useless and its the biggest flaw of the phone.
The other is that the UI skin is awful.
use software settings to increase the speaker volume. google ‘how to increase mediatek volume’
lot’s of times i shop on daraz clothes and phones are great using hotnote bro future is e-commerce
No lte koi faida nahi
Such features at this low prices I don’t know how these brands are really price and features list looks like gfive!!!!!!
Their branding and distribution cost is reduced by putting it online. Like paracites. Xiaomi is biggest example of all
That Xtouch X4 is really enticing. I have always wondered whether Xtouch a real deal or another Qmobile-type company but from the specs and that Mediatek Chipsets they are using, this phone seems like a real solid deal. And it’s just one of the many low priced phones they are making, they have a got quite a lot of devices which should also be given some consideration.
Sorry cant believe you. Please elaborate.
I mean that I haven’t seen any critic or user reviews regarding Xtouch’s phones therefore in my opinion it’s reliability is a question mark at this time of writing.
How are they from the specs and “mediatek” chipsets as u said are a solid deal and not a q mobile type company?
From the specs I think it is a really good deal and all in one phone you would really need. Possible competitors would include some Xiaomi I think and Huawei Y5 but this Xtouch beats most of the competition but then again I only say this while looking at the specs, real life performance may perhaps be different. I cannot give any guarantees about that.
Plus I consider Mediatek second best manufacturer of mobile chipsets and most of their chips have given extremely solid results. Their flagship Chip is currently the Helio X20[MT6797], Deca-core tri clusters CPU configuration and most likely the one to beat Exynos 7420 Chip as well. More info here http://heliox20.com/
lol … not even 64 bit
out dated tech
Not everything needs 64 bit you know. And you realize for that price range only a top end manufacturer would be able to put in a 64 Bit processor in their smartphone but even that would have that much difference as you think rather it would become more expensive.
Not really! Xiaomi and Meizu are a good example of 64bit chipsets on the cheap margins! You need to read more buddy
You are correct bro about Xiaomi, Meizu and I would add Huawei as well and to a little higher margin Lenovo as well. I haven’t been reading as much as I used to before so you are correct on that regard as well.
Thing is I made that comment regarding Manufacturers that openly retail in Pakistan[Samsung and the gang], Xiaomi and Meizu don’t if you put aside Ali Express. However if Cheez Mall’s strategy does come true then we can expect some awesome competition in our market! Exciting!
wouldnt*
also … do you even gizchina , bro ?
Ah yeah sorry typo there and yeah, I don’t follow Gizchina much…
yeah well you should … cheapest 64 bit phone is set at $ 89.99 ..
Isn’t Innjoo Fire better than Xtouch?
It’s a tricky one.
Xtouch dominates in the rear camera challenge. 13 MP>5MP
But, Innjoo has a better front camera if you really need a selfie-perfect phone 5 MP>2MP
The processors within both of the phones are evenly matched, only a little difference if any. However Innjoo has double the RAM so it has an advantage here.
Xtouch however has a better display[720p] rather than qHD one on Innjoo.
Innjoo should be a little better in battery life but only a little better.
So it becomes a matter of choice then, I consider Xtouch more worthwhile because it’s evenly matched. Nice display, good performance and a snappy shooter.
On the other hand Innjoo is also good if you really want to squeeze every last bit of juice from your phone or want a selfie phone ;) These are somethings to consider mate.
Thanks for such a detailed reply. :)
How is it “snappy” have u used it?
No no, I think I may have given a wrong idea.
My comparison of both of the phones is based entirely on the specs. Therefore you can say it is a theoretical approach, whatever the practical outcome is I am not aware of that.
Hot Note Pro he kuch behtar lga baki sab to waste hai
yup, now m regretting over my decision to buy Hot Note.
plz no !
wait for cheezmall !
EMBRACE THE CHINESE PHONE !
Yes just 2 weeks to its launch
yeah !
am SUPER EXCITED !
Bro you are the only one who loves Chinese brand.i bought xiaomi redmi note 4g and a mi3 which are incredibly awesome :)
i know man … the people here are terribly under informed and not knowledgeable and DO NOT realise the true potential of chinese phones , many of which far out rank and out do their hideously priced european and american counter parts !
and yes , you are right … sometimes i feel like the lone ranger adovcating the case of chinese phones !
glad to meet u , mister :)
hope you enjoy your current and future chinese phones to their fullest !
Best hardware and display and i am loving it :)
i think xiaomi is a chinese brand!!!
If any of you wants to have a small preview of what xiaomi is about, Just go and get yourself any of the Xiaomi accessories like their piston earphones or their battery packs. Their quality and performance is outstanding given what the actually sell for. The earphones are supposed to go for around 15$ and the max capacity power bank for around 28$ but, the cheapskate sellers on daraz and kaymu sell for around 2.5x that amount.
Because of their immense popularity, Xiaomi accessories are the most pirated in china.
The best thing about Xiaomi phones is that they are not meant to be a pain in your rear when it comes to OS updates as there are frequent stable updates to MIUI unlike the brands listed above.
But, Prepare to be UNDERWHELMED from cheezmall and do not keep your hopes too high
why will cheezmall underwhelm us :/
and i think meizu and others are good brands too !
It’s not possible bro, because there should be an authorized dealer or seller so that we can get our minds out from qmobile,rivo etc etc. Also if xiaomi is released in Pakistan prices will be higher and they will sell old models like redmi note 4g,mi 3 mi4……
i don’t quite get it … ???
are u saying cheezmall will be expensive ?
There should be a little hope that xiaomi will be released unofficially by cheezmall. Also i am using xiaomi mi3. People in Pakistan don’t know about technology, they just go for brand and pay for only brand :/
hope is the sole thing keeping up many things upright …. i hope the case comes good with cheezmall !
im hoping to get in touch with a beta tester and ask about the site!
Not only brands, but the phone which is advertised the most. Example? QMobile!
Cheezmall will eat daraz.pk for lunch soon. Biggest giant of China coming to Pakistan, I’m very excited.
its mutual bro !
Is there any hope they may bring Xiaomi or Meizu here in Pakistan?
hahaha. Cheezmall can only eat your money.They are not reliable.
So called Tech Giant…My Foot.
did u explore their beta site ?
No not yet.
But i know a lot of things about them.
Some of the people here commenting about cheezmall are employs of them.
They are liar.
I can prove that.
well … SHIT

Read comments on this link.
I am waiting for Cheezmall launch as well.Looking forward for Chinese mobile brands like Xiaomi,Meizu etc.
i believe we;ll have more than just 4 or 5 brands !
brace urselves !
Intex an indain company coming to Pakistan, thats sound bit strange @aamir can you please verify?
Yes that’s true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intex_Technologies
these are not even close to xiaomi and one plus one far awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
what do u expect… they are below the $150 range in intl markets
poor man’s budget phones
xiaomi redmi note 2
xiaomi mi 4i
do you there prices and specs
do you know there prices and specs
mi4i is like 30 k a/c to $ conversion but will cost around 40 k here i think
and redmi note 2 … 15 k in intl markets but amt are selling it for 20k +
when will cheezmall start its site
18 sept
Intex Technologies incepted in the year 1996 is an Indian smartphones, consumer durables and IT Accessories manufacturer. Intex is headquartered in New Delhi, India. Intex manufactures Smartphones, IT accessories and consumer electronics durables. .So it is true? an Indian smartphone brand is being launched in Pakistan?
no 5.0
no attraction
I am looking towards a smartwatch launch by XTouch. They have a great smartwatch with the same software as of an Android stock version.
Xtouch is rubbish brand i bought xtouch x506 few years back for 17000PKR believe me its crap brand wasted my heard earned money
Please please please someone bring Moto, Meizu and Xiaomi’s devices officially here Pakistan. Why is no one considering them?
I think Daraz is pre-empting against the danger posed by Cheezmall, they want to attract some customers before the launch of Cheezmall.
Infinix Hot 2 Android One phone should be brought to Pakistan @infinixPakistan @darazpk
Every three months I’ve been using the mobile phone is the best in terms
