Micromax Smartphones.
All their smartphones are the copied version of any low budget Chinese smartphone.

Old version of iPhone
Buying an old iPhone just to show off is not a good idea instead you can buy the latest version of OnePlus.

Special Edition of any smartphone.
For Example, OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition and Poco F1 Armoured Edition. Base version of these smartphone are the best choice.

Any smartphone, which doesn’t have a service center in your city or nearest to your city.


Any smartphone just because of high amount of RAM.
RAM is required to handle multiple apps at the same time but processor is more important than the RAM. So, always check the Processor before buying a smartphone with high amount of RAM.

Any smartphone just because of the Brand name.
Currently, Xiaomi is the best selling brand in India but if Brands like ASUS, Huawei etc… will provide you better specification at cheaper price then always choose specification over brand. For Example, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2.

Any smartphone just because of Super AMOLED Display.
Samsung Galaxy J2 is a smartphone with Super AMOLED Display but apart from the display, no feature is good.

Any smartphone which advertised as the “Selfie Expert”.
Selfie Camera is not going to make you beautiful/handsome instead you can use a beauty camera app.

Any smartphone, which isn't worth the money.

iPhone 7 with ite poor HDR, that's what you want to compare with a super phone like the Zero and Note of last year?

I used to be a big Infinulix critic, not anymore.
If you handle their midrange devices, you'll be out to Shame.

I'm glad you know that I am not a hungry man, unlike you.

You have successfully reconfigured your food ration. From 1-0-1 to 0-0-1.

It's almost 9pm, go and heat that soup you cooked since Thursday. Your life depends on it.

I don't care of their recent or latest phones. It's their security, after sale support, customer service and warranty that matters in the long run.

Aje, I remember one time I was using smart 5 infinix I just bought in store, few weeks later I bought iPhone 7 playfully. I got so used to the iPhone 7 because the smart 5 was always freezing.

I sold the new smart 5 for cheap and never used any transsion phone again till date.
