I am extremely struggling middle class person

Kindly help me if there is anything better

I have heared about infinix note 60 pro's green line pannel issue, if there is best (MAINLY GAMING) then help

I am from hyderabad city PAKISTAN

need a 1.5 ton inverter ac within in 150k budget.

location rwp/isb.

please guide which one would be the best in this budget. i already have 3 hisense acs but not gonna again because of some reported after sale issues after their distributor changed in pak.

Visited the Sony Center but they don't carry the XM4, the guy there kept pushing me towards the ULT Wear, but after doing my research I'm not willing to compromise. The XM4 has better noise cancellation, fits my budget, and is exactly what I want.

The problem is, most stores are either out of stock, untrustworthy, or listing it way above 70k which is just not happening.

If anyone knows a reliable place to buys these, please drop it below.

Assalamioalaikum
I mainly need it for taking Zoom classes, so it should have a built-in camera and work smoothly while screen sharing. I’ll be using it for around 7 hours a day, so I need something reliable that won’t lag, hang, or shut down in the middle of classes. Any good recommendations?

Hi fellows.

I need to receive a payment of around 500 Euros here in Pakistan from a client based in Europe. it is going to be a one time transaction for now.

would receiving it in my own bank account through swift will be a good idea or shall i go for other options?

i know this is as basic a question as it gets but i need to know this

Thank you

Every now and then I come across people posting good used phones at a reasonable price on OLX but i have heard from family and friends that OLX is mostly a scam so I am writing to ask if taking a risk with OLX is worth it?

Thinking about getting a Kindle but not sure which one to get.

Mainly want it for reading books/PDFs and something comfortable for long reading sessions. Is the basic Kindle enough, or is the Paperwhite worth the extra money?

Also, where do people usually get them from? Is ordering online fine, or are there physical stores that trade Kindles?

I've accounts in Meezan and HBL right now.

Problem is, Meezan's desktop website is broken. Log in often a PITA as I've to input my username/password several times to get logged in. No idea why that's the case but it is what it is.

And HBL has recently killed their desktop website. Their garbage mobile app is the only way a user can do online banking.

I'm done with local banks.

Now, I'm thinking about opening an account at Standard Chartered as it's a multinational bank and from what I've heard, they have an excellent app and desktop website.

But I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, looking for a new AC in Lahore.

We currently have a Dawlance Enercon (front black glass model) 1.5 ton inverter. Just for context, 1.5 ton is more than enough for this room — we even had an old Mitsubishi 1 ton before this and it worked great.

Got the Dawlance around 2021 brand new, but it’s been using more electricity than expected. In 2023 a Dawlance technician checked it and mentioned the PCB might need repair, though he didn’t seem fully sure, so we ignored it. Last year it also developed a leak after we used the heating mode for the first time in years and got that fixed.

This is a regular model, not a T3, and last night I noticed the cooling was pretty weak even on Turbo mode.

Now I’m considering either:

- Haier 1.5 ton Solar AC (the one that comes with plates)

- Gree T3 model (new 2026 variant, my uncle recently got one)

A lot of people keep saying Gree is the best and more energy efficient than Dawlance or Haier. I can also get a Dawlance Atmos T3 for around 50k less than the Gree though.

So I wanted to ask:

- Is Gree actually noticeably more energy efficient?

- How’s the long-term reliability and electricity usage?

- Any experiences with the Haier Solar AC without a full solar setup?

Would love to hear real experiences, especially from Lahore heat users.

Bought the s25 (cpid) for 170k with box and all its accessories like the quick start guide, sim ejector tool, 2m long type-c to c cable and optional, bought a case with it from the same shop for 1k. Thoroughly checked everything on the phone and all the stuff with it. All Samsung apps like wallet, secure folder, pass, nfc, etc. Are working like usual with no differences. All ota updates are working, and signal stability is great. I fully factory reset the phone, updated everything, and set up my accounts.Some person was saying in the last post I made " get from HF it's listed there for 155k." I bought the phone from HF, and in total, it cost me 170k (with the tax included and the cover). The guy who said it's listed there for 155k was wrong because it was listed there for 165k (without the tax, which was 4k, and with 1k of the case included, it cost me 170k as I expected). Great phone overall, I don't change phones a lot, upgrading after 6 years of using Samsung A51. Also already had all the accessories like the 25w Samsung charger (obviously original) and the buds 2, so, no worries about the compatibility issues.

I can increase my budget slightly, but not by much

Hi All,

I saw an ad on facebook about an esim provider. They claimed that there esim will work flawlessly (for data only) for any non pta phones. I explicitly asked if it will work after 2 months, and they said yes, the phone needs to be factory unlocked and not JV etc.

Is it possible? i can mention the name and their msg also but not sure if it will violate this reddit policy. Please advise

My google pixel 8 pro doesn't last half as long as it used to, and i have to charge it at least 2 3 times a day. i'm considering getting a battery replacement, but i had the following questions:

1. from where do i actually get an authentic battery for my phone in pakistan ? (i'm based in lahore)

2. is a battery replacement worth it? does it solve my problem?

3. how much does it usually cost??

any leads would be greatly appreciated... thank you

While s25 ultra and other models explicitly mention PTA approved, there is no such information on the S26 models on both samsung.com and daraz flagship store

He doesn't change his phone for 2-3 years, so I need a reliable phone. He's been talking a lot about 5G recently, so I'd ideally want to get him a 5G phone. Since I am gifting it to him, I would want to get either new, or good quality refurbished (with box etc.)

Right now, I was considering Galaxy S21 5G in refurbished, or Tecno Camon 40 Pro in new. Any suggestions? Also tell good price for whichever phone you suggest. Thank you.

I have Samsung s25+ and 5g doesn't work on this phone. I have searched what is the problem. I found out i have SM-S936U model which means it will not support 5G outside the US. It should have been SM-S936U1. So if i have to convert it to U1 model i need to flash new firmware but here is the twist my phone is a cpid patched phone. Now I am confused if I flash the new firmware will my cpid be removed or it will be fine. Anyone?

I have shortlisted few options in my budget: vivo v60 lite 5G, vivo v40e and realme 15T. REalme 15T is last choice because of the camera.
Problem is these mobiles are short in market except realme, so does anyone know where I can find the others in boxed packed condition? I'm in Karachi
