If you want a good camera go for the smaller Pixel 2 WTF!

How much ever people hate Samsung, the build quality coupled with design and camera experience is still one of the best. Considering you are getting a Note 8 for 34k it’s a great deal, just go for it.

PS: you have to either put up with the terrible touchwiz experience or load a better rom.

Pixel is a great camera phone too but sadly the hardware build doesn’t live up to it’s name and the phone has a terrible resale value.

Not worth..unless he is going to use it for 2-3 year…Samsung has no resale now…now note is costing 55 k after 5-6 month it ll drop to 30..so at what rate he ll is going to sale this device imagine…

Samsung’s infinity displays are still best looking imo. Far better user experience than with ugly notches and cropped out content.
Content blends and looks more immersive on infinity displays.
I would also suggest you go with note 8 or s9 xl if you can bear Samsung UI.

Or else wait for the next pixel, OnePlus 6T etc.

Now I’m really confused, I’m planning to use the nite 8 2-3 yrs at least and choosing note 8 because of camera, build quality, fancy s-pen, display, dual SIM, no notch, beautiful glass back – though battery still an issue but I can live with it.

Not choosing pixel beacse ugly looking and single sim.
Discarded OnePlus and Asus 5Z because if notch (just hate it). Using OnePlus 3 now ,so not looking another OnePlus mobile for simple stock Android. Asus Zenfone 5z looks fine on paper but software is a big concern for me.

Now not sure note 8 will Android P update it not but the mobile looks good@34K . Ok if I’m to sell it @ 15-20k after 3 years.

What should I do now? Today is the last day of the sale ….

@somu7668

consider following option also

Sony Xperia XZ Premium Dual (Deep Sea Black)@44k

This one you can use 2-3 years without much hassle

HTC U11 (Solar Red, 128 GB) (6 GB RAM)@35k

Very close to your budget

LG V30+ H930DS (Raspberry Rose)@34k

If I were in position would have bought this

Sony Xperia: Such a ugly looking device – look at the top and bottom bazel. Looks highly overpriced and poor exchange value for my Oneplus 3.

HTC: Personally I’ll avoid HTC at any cost.

LG V30+: This looks good and considered this but very poor software upgrade. Still stuck with android 7 and very poor front camera too.

Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Can you tell me your experience with this phone?
Only reason i want to go for this over oneplus is the sound output over headphones.
