It would be better if xiaomi/meizu/thl/dogee launches in pakistan
agree with you but Doogee aren’t particularly bright in their work so far … horrible phones and after sales.
thought their upcoming F7 is something to look out for come MWC
we really need xiaomi and meizu in pakistan
Why always low quality brands launch in Pakistan?
I doubt these phones are low quality. You can say lesser known brands come to Pakistan but not all of them offer low quality. I haven’t tried these, but any manufacturer which can offer its own unique design philosophy has to be taken seriously.
well said !
this is the kind of opinion which the locals are staved of so badly !
bhai sedhi baat hai Pakistani business man ap ko chuna laga raha hai woh ap ko china ka trash sale kar raha hai.
actually , influx of chinese brands will have the bigger brands sweating no doubt about it. i can see Sony , Samsung , LG and even Apple trashing out strategies for solidifying their market grip amidst the influx of all these new brands…. preferably by offering a feasible flexibility in their pricing.
Pakistani market is nothing. Hugely taxed , no local manufacturing charm, corruption and bribery. So no known brand want to enter here legally and price their phones cost effectively.
Bhai yai phones Malaysia main sale hotay hain aur kafi high quality phones. China ka trash ajeeb ajeeb namon sai ata hai, kui publicity nahi hoti, na kui website na kui retailer.
Xiaomi ya Huawei level ki company nahi hai leken sirf aik saal main itna upar aa gayi hai yai bhi bari baat hai.
For your info Xiaomi is 5th largest smartphone maker and Huawei also falls in upper 5. They didnt just got this position without good quality. I have been using both of these brands and they are much better than others. Even I would suggest everyone to avoid lenovo and buy xiaomi.
Bro I am saying the exact same thing. Ofcourse Xiaomi and Huawei are the best but there are others which are good too.
Lenovo doesn’t offer much support for cheaper brands but you’ll get much better response if you buy a flagship from them. Look at Zuk Z1, its great.
oh come on … i DID NOT expect this from u @AbdulB1:disqus , man :/
have you even read about Leagoo phones before passing such a prejudiced comment !?
i recommend doing some research by yourself
the fact is Chinese dont know much about this brand. This is a unknown brand so I am not trusting it.
you should read a few reviews … esp the Elite 1.
I am proud owner of Leagoo Elite 5 and in my country (Czech Republic) I can get any mobile of any brand I want. I chose Leagoo. It was tisky buying mobile from brand I dont know but it paid off. The Elite 5 is superb. Its fast and battery life is extraordinary. Leagoo is the future!
warranty and after sales do matter
I have lived in China so I know what I am talking about. But everyone is free to buy whatever they like. Low and cheap end brands end up high ends after dedication and hard work.
Hurray for more shitty brands
Why it is shitty.Leagoo have good reviews on youtube.I think you should use phone first before calling it shitty.
Its far better than crap qmobile
sir QMobile se tu compare na karain, woh tu KING hai KING :-) aur us ki riaya hain woh log jo kehte hain yaar humain tu QMobile ke illawa koi mobile samajh hi nahi aata, lolz.. :D
lol …
KMQ entertaining as always :D
:-) Sir yeh tu aapka husn-e-nazar hai warna hum kis kaam ke.. Sorry is se ziyada shairi nahi aati koi galti shalti ho tu maafi…
Lol :P
its not a shitty brand u imbecile.
most EU users exclaim how high quality Leagoo phones are despite being a small brand in china !
Shark 1 looks good.Massive battery waiting for Shark 1 release.
SHARK 1 in under 25000 and its gonna be a field day for bytespk
#markmywords
Its international price is 190$
Don’t buy any phone from them they have really bad after sales and service and never keep there words. Just go through this thread you will come to know how they treat there customers.
http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f118/had-terrible-experience-bytes-pk-242809/
Wonder how they claim to provide official warranty when Leagoo or Bytes doesn’t have any service center / after sales service in Pakistan.
BTW these phones are okay-ish have tried Elite 5, but it gives that China feeling. Moreover the “Talkband” is a rip-off of Huawei Talkband, even they didn’t change the name.
Elite 5 ????
you should have gone for the elite 1 , as it was their flagship and most premium offering to date. if you’re gonna try now , tho , go for the Shark. it looks well poised.
Aapne kahan use kiya yeh?
Planet Earth per :) as a matter of fact I have some good friends at Leagoo and when they came to Pakistan, got the chance to use Leagoo.
any chance you could get me a discount on the Leagoo shark :P ?
in my defense , i haven;t owned a smartphone to date …
I’ve a good experience with bytes really!!!!
Have you ever purchased a mobile phone from them ?
Nope. There mobile phone range is very small and they deal mostly in used ones. But this is good news that they are launching leagoo.
AWW YISS !
the Shark 1 !
been eyeing this baby for a month now
please be under 20k !
who the FOCK thinks the ELite 5 has OIS ?! WTF !
I just don’t understand why people consider it ‘FARZ’ to just comment without having zero info on the subject. It’s a trend here. I agree with you Yasir that people should first do little research before starting to defame.
just pakistani things :D
the pre sale of shark1 started on feb17 on gearbest.com. quoted price on gearbest.com is 190 dollars, 189.9 to be exact, this phone supports only one sim card with the microsd card, or 2 simcards and no microsd card
http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watch-phone/pp_319904.html?vip=107900
here is the link of pre sale
so i think and compared to a similar model the inew L4, 5.5 INCH 2GB RAM having 5000mah battery(it supports all three together 2sim card,1microsd) priced at 19500 and the new infinix flagship which except the battery exceeds shark 1 in all respects priced at 20500 on daraz.pk,,,, we can expect it to be between 22-23 thousands in pakistan
conversion rate of dollar for today is approx 105,,,, according to this shark 1 should be
19950
as elite 5 quoted price here is 11999, roughly 12000
on gearbest.com the quoted price is 123.40dollars which is roughly equivalent to 12000
so i am gonna keep my fingers crossed for either 20thousand or 20999,,, as the tradition goes.
hope so we get nice goodies too, hands on shows nothing except screen protector…. hope for the best. chao
another honorable mention of an upcoming phone from cheezmall,,,, is the problem bearer lenovo zuk z1, whose expected price is 29500, but this phone is known to be the house of problems, it has 4000mah battery
Guys found it for 185 usd (Promotion Code: GB16SALE ) from china. http://bit.ly/LeagooShark
Recently bought Elite 5.
Impressed with battery and Performance… However… Camera, too much noice in pictures. , Bad result (worse then camera results of QMobile). And I even cant find name of Sony in information provided by Aida64.
Compare to the Oukitel K6000 Pro with 6000mAh battery, Android 6.0 and 3GB RAM, which one should I order? Comparison video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjb6LyuqPJs
