4. OnePlus 5 or Nokia 8: Which Dual Camera Phone for You?
Nokia 8 will soon be available in India and HMD Global has surprised quite a few by pricing it below Rs 40,000. By doing so, they’ve given us a chance to compare the dual camera-totting Nokia 8 with the OnePlus 5, which is priced for Rs 37,999.
So, which one of these should you go for? How do they compare in terms of features, design and, of course, camera? We’ve got it all covered here.
5. You Gotta Check Out The Terms & Conditions of Reliance JioPhone
Reliance has started delivering the JioPhone to those who’ve pre-booked the device. The phone, which the company claims to be selling for ‘effectively free’, offers 4G VoLTE on a small-sized display, and runs on Kai OS.
The company has updated its website with terms and conditions for the buyers of JioPhone.
JioPhone users will have to recharge their number every month, as Jio Prime (offering data for 3 months) is not applicable for them. But that’s not all and we’re putting down the important ones for you below. Take a look at them over here.
