  7. This is nothing related to the topic and I’ve written this just as this is the newest article her.What is a good phone under 20k ? with very good battery life ? My brother who travels a lot is looking at the Lenovo P2 and he is attracted to it as it has 5100mAh of battery and has asked me to find out if there are any cheaper or better phones with really good battery back up out there

    1. The lenovo p2 has amazing battery life but the camera is abysmal. You are better off with the Redmi Note 4. Similar specs but better camera and it has a 4100mAh battery. But the best phone I would suggest you to get is the lenovo z2 plus, SD 820,4gig of ram and a good camera. But the battery is comparatively lower at 3500 mAh.

    2. I showed my brother all these phones but he still has his heart fixed on the P2.He doesn’t care about camera and the processor much as all he is about to do is reading books and maybe the occasional movie watching.He just doesn’t want to sacrifice the 1000mAh’s and drop down to the Redmi

    3. The Zuk Z2 plus is amazing mate, for the price. Invest in a good old power bank and you get an additional 10000mAh!

  9. It’s actually a pretty good phone for this cost, might get it as a backup phone aye

  11. This would make a great budget phone if it wasn’t for the fact that it is carrier locked. If this was an unlocked phone, I could see it selling quite well.

  12. It has a tough challenge in mobile market to survive.
