Anyone bought LG G8x for 20k??

I had placed it in wishlist, but couldn’t order one. Phone has great internal specs, but since LG has lesser brand value than Samsung, Apple, etc their phones depreciate in value like crazy.

Not that I mind that, as long as it has decent innards and good package it shouldn’t matter much. K20 Pro fits a similar bill (AMOLED screen, SD 8xx series processor) but doesn’t seem to be going for its usual 23k price anymore. Which other phones can I buy?

Really wished I could’ve bought it tho T-T

k20 pro is at 23k on mi india. just checked.

LG g8x is also a great deal if you look at reviews at r/lgg8x subreddit

Its really killer of a deal for the price… Wouldn’t have even looked at this device for the original 50K price..

I didn’t buy it. Changed my mind at the last minute. My asus 5z is not even a year old, i don’t really need another phone. It was just for the novelty factor.

A friend of mine wanted to buy it after i gave him a heads-up. But he was travelling in shimla and unfortunately missed it because he was too late ordering. Like by a couple minutes. If i had know he would cock-up at the last minute, i would have ordered it for him.

IMO there are a significant number of issues which crop up after some time, as per the reddit sub. I still have the same question, how is a 50k phone selling under 20k? Medium/long term reliability issues? Still if someone has 20k to play with, it’s nice from the novelty pov.

^ its not a 50k phone when redmi k20 pro is selling for 23k

HOW? 1.75 lakh units?

This is fake. un-possible feat.

I think brand name carries a lot of value. LG phones would sell for half their price in used market. Their new phones would also drop in price, sometimes months after release.

@@adventureguy If K20 Pro is 20k phone, how come Nord cost 24k with lower specced components? I think it’s for the Brand. I don’t think just the 90hz display can make for the price difference.

I get the comparison, but wasn’t it selling at an actual >50k price before the sale? Anyone know what the real street price was earlier?

america amazon has it for $599. so 50k rs price is valid in india

Probably LG ‘brand value’ then…

Sound is awesome on wired headphone.. excellent another level music

Why is it selling for 20k?

My friend said he got a notification that it was in stock aroun 8-9pm 19 Oct. but by the time he went to checkout it became OOS.

I bought one so did my brother on 19oct. I think it was there for atleast few min, although I bought it within a few seconds past 8pm.
Thanks to the pricing I was able to avoid buying a Chinese phone.
