It Should be Launch in OS “O” : PKR : 25,000 Kafi hai Front Camera is not Enough Waise
Smart Link will launch it with hefty price tag, don’t get surprised if they set it for Rs 30K plus citing taxes and duties.

Lekin kab tak milega.?
Nah, i will never go for chinese brands, even though they are collaborating with Google. Though stock amroid is a superior software experience, i am not so sure about the Hardware of these chinese Brands.
I will wait for Motorola G5s Plus or Moto X4, both have stock android experience with some useful gestures, that make them superior in term of quality and user experience as compare to any other copycat chinese brands.
How ironic man,Motorola is owned by Lenovo and it is also a sub brand of Lenovo which is a Chinese company..damm
motorolla is also chinese
The price has to be under PKR 25k. With its price on Flipkart (Indian Site) as INR 15k, and Aliexpress as USD 220, and keeping in mind that Xiaomi officially sells its products in Pakistan, the price must not be more than PKR 25k. Google has always marketed AndroidOne as a budget phone. Xiaomi too, is known for mid range phones. If the price is more than 25k, then this phone will not be success in Pakistan.
So it would be a huge surprise if the price exceeds PKR 25,000.
Yeah, agreed.
WITH Fast Charging? I’ve heard everyone saying it DOESN’T have Fast Charging…
