Trend of using gadgets in Pakistan

I remember the time when newspaper, an old radio, a landline telephone set, and a gigantic TV set which were just able to broadcast national television programs, were the only tools of entertainment available in every household of Pakistan. People use to watch national channels for every purpose like news, entertainment etc. The only channels of communication were landline telephones and post. Radio was the only thing which can play music. And we all were quite happy back then too. But as we all know that time never remain the same. It keeps on changing. But if we talk particularly about gadgets, then time has changed in Pakistan in quite a revolutionary way. Almost every latest gadget and technology is now available in Pakistan. In this article I will talk about the changing trends of using technology in Pakistan and most particularly I will talk about gadgets.

The father of all gadgets

Let’s start with the first gadget, which I would say has proved to be a father of all gadgets. It is none other than Mobile phone. After the technology boom in Pakistan, this gadget has gained the immense popularity. Almost 80% people living in Pakistan’s urban cities are using a mobile phone. Mobile phone has been dedicated as a technology of the decade internationally, and it should be in Pakistan as well. Today, it is the toughest job to identify a single adult or even a teen ager who does not possess a mobile phone. The great contributors in Pakistan’s great mobile revolution are Nokia Mobile, Samsung Mobiles, Sony Ericson, and other companies. The latest mobile phone technology is Smartphone technology. And Pakistan is the most potent market when it comes to smart phones. And this can be witnessed by looking the number of unofficial iphone Smartphone sales all around the Pakistan. It is one of the best selling phones in the history of Pakistan.

Television the most commonly used gadget

Then comes the turn of another famous gadget in Pakistan. Television, which once used to be a big sized machine. But it is now in the smartest shape ever. Statistics tells that more than 70% household in Pakistan are having a television set at their household. This gadget has faced so many revolutions, from simple TV to Plasma, from plasma to LCD, and now from LCD to LED. It is getting slimmer with every passing day. People in Pakistan who do not afford a new LCD and TV buy used LCD or a Used TV, but they do have this technology no matter what and how. Another worth mentioning thing here is that trend in changing technology of a television is also increasing quite rapidly. People who once used to have a television are now having a LCD of minimum a plasma TV.

The others

Then comes other gadgets like gaming devices, Cameras and music players. After the launch of gaming device from big players like Sony and Microsoft the trend of buying gaming device has clearly gone up. Youngsters are buying both portable devices along with classic devices. Music players are another best selling gadget in Pakistan. So many companies like Audionic came into the small, and big sized music players industry, but they haven’t got the desired success because of the officially launched IPOD in Pakistan. Another most widely spread trend is of cameras. After the official launch of Sony, Nikon and canon in Pakistan, this trend seems to be increasing day by day because almost everyone nowadays posses a handheld camera.

Buy Best deals, buy Online

Do not snub your desires:

We are living in an expensive era. We cannot buy anything that we desire. No matter it’s a mobile phone or a vehicle, so many times it happens that we like something but due to its high price and our low budget we prefer not to buy it. But is it fair to snub down our desires? No it certainly isn’t. And due to scam selling and worse condition of different products we normally fear to buy it from open markets. But you have to say thank you to the internet, because now we have so many online portals from where you can buy your desired products and not necessarily new. There are so many internet portals where sellers from around the country post their ads of different products and you can buy from them, without involving any third party into the deal. And with no commission involved. This is amazing right?

New way of buying:

In recent times there are so many new websites are coming into existence where people post their free ads. And buyers like us who want something can go there and search for their desired product and buy it. The most amazing thing on these websites is the number of choices you have. If you want a product of a certain type, you will find a lot of people selling the same product. Plus every seller must put the pictures of the product so it is easy for you to choose among different options by seeing that which product is having the best condition. E.G. you want to buy a gaming device or some home appliances you will have several options for each category.

Don’t burn your calories on buying things:

By buying online every buyer can save a lot of time and headache. Because it is never too easy to visit the open markets and then visit every single shop to buy a product. And then you are not completely sure that whether the product is in good condition or not. And mostly in open markets you will face a lot of professional salesmen who can easily put their magic spell on you with their great experience in this field and will make you buy the bad products. But when you buy from these web portals you will find out that on the other hand there is a user just like you. Who want to sell its product and will cast no scam with you. And mostly these sort of exchanges turn out to be so friendly exchanges.

No third party:

Since these web portals does not involve any kind of middle man involved or any extra commission that is why most of the time you get a lot of good deals here. Plus all these ads posted on these websites are somewhat personally negotiable with the sellers. So you can always bargain for a certain price.
These web portals are getting immense response and today so many sellers all around the country are selling their products online. Because It provides two things straight forwardly one is convenience and the other one crystal clear transactions. If in past you wanted to buy something but you just didn’t it’s time for you to check out one of these websites. Because so many people buy and sell used or new gaming devices , home appliances, mobile phones, computers and what not on these websites, you never know you might get yourself a best deal.

We all love Gadgets

We are living in 21st century. A century of technology and rapidity. Whatever we want to do, some kind of apparatus is always there to accompany us. We are surrounded by machines and gadgets. And the best part is we enjoy living in this era. Whatever we do, we don’t feel thrilled until of unless there is some machine or gadget involved in it. We all daily watch TV, we daily use computer, we daily use ovens, etc. So the crux of the story is that we are bundled with machines all around. That shows our unconditional love towards machines. But as I have said that this is 21st century the more we love gadgets the more they are available in market. And sometimes it gets impossible for us to choose between different types gadgets that how to buy them. Here are few tips by using which you can buy the best gadget.

Look inside your pocket:

First thing first, what is the first thing that you consider while buying anything? Yes, that’s price. Because it is directly linked with your budget. You first think that how much you should spend on whatever you are planning to buy. For example you want to buy a home appliances , and more specifically you want to buy a television. The first thing you should know about is that which brand is coming in your budget bracket. And then you should consider that what that brand is offering. If you are satisfied with the number of offerings. Then it’s the best case scenario. But if it does not then you should see the offering of that brand which comes slightly above your price bracket. And if that’s suits you, you must increase your budget bracket a little. Because it is giving you the value for money. And another tip in this regard is that try to search products online because sometimes you can find best deals on the websites where people buy & sell new and used home appliances , gaming devices, Mobile phone accessories etc.

What people are saying about it?

The other thing while buying a gadget you should consider is the product review. If you have selected a brand or a product out of so many brands you must know that how much people rate it. There is a huge community on internet which works entirely on writing reviews of different gadgets. And the buyer can easily have a very good idea about the product’s features and how those features work by reading the reviews. E.g. if you want to buy a gaming device and you have decided to buy a certain brand you must know that what people are saying about this certain brand. There is another benefit of reading reviews, buyer get to know about the product’s detailed functionality.

Does it have warranty?

The other thing that every buyer should keep in mind is that your gadget must have warranty. Warranty is considered very essential when we talk about gadgets. Sometimes what happened is that we buy a product but after a while it loses its certain functionality. And repairing it locally can snatch its quality and resale value. But if your product is with warranty your product would be repaired by the professional and authorized Lab of the respective company. And your product would not lose its quality, functionality, or resale value. No matter you are buying a new product or a used product always prefers products that have certain warranty to provide you safety.

Tired of collecting old stuff? Let’s rescue ourselves from old stuff

Get your junk yard cleared:

We daily buy things and use them. And after a certain use we start thinking of buying new things. And normally waste the old things. And put them in junk yards. But do you really think it is a good idea? No it is not. There is a famous quote which says. ‘Junk of one can be a treasure of another’. So why waste old things when you can sell them to people who need them, and get value for your products? But we normally have concerns that carrying old stuff with us and wandering here and there at markets does not worth it. We prefer to waste many things or gift them instead of selling them just to save ourselves from the tiresome work of selling them in an open market. But thanks to internet and the classified websites. Buying and selling new and used home appliances, gaming devices and what not, is now as easy as eating a piece of cake. In this article I will tell you that how by performing couples of easy steps you can get rid of old stuff and make money.


Select the best free classified website:

First of all go on internet and search for a top rating classified website. And make sure that this website has a lot of daily visitors and high ranking. And by viewing already posted ads there you will have the idea that whether visitors here respond to ads or not. And also make sure that posting ads on this website is free.

Good Description half selling:

And after taking a picture of your product add the complete description of your product. And make sure that it includes all the features and attributes that your product has to offer.

What makes Nokia Mobiles Asha Range so popular?

I do not think that there is anyone in Pakistan who has never used Nokia mobile phone. We all have used Nokia mobiles or are using them even now. Have you ever wondered why Nokia mobiles are so successful in Pakistan as compared to other mobile brands such as Sony Ericsson Phone, HTC, or BlackBerry handset? Well, the reason behind this is affordability as well as availability. Nokia mobiles are widely available in Pakistan – in urban as well as rural areas. However, high end mobile devices like HTC mobile, Blackberry handset and iPhone smartphones are mostly available in big cities.


Which mobile do people use in Villages and rural areas?

Mobile phone is no more a luxury, as it once used to be. People living in villages, rural areas and small cities also use mobile phones, albeit only a few rich landlords can afford expensive mobile phones.
Low income and middle class people prefer on buying used mobile phones of their favourite brands, or they buy new Chinese mobile or Nokia mobile. Nokia is considered as a durable mobile phone set. No matter how many times it fell down from your hand, it will still be working.


Nokia Asha mobile phones

Who says that smartphones are only meant for rich and elite? Now everyone can afford buying smart phone – thanks to Nokia Asha series. In October 2011, Nokia introduced Asha series - its middle-range smart phone devices. These mobile phones are not only eye-catching but provide all popular and widely used connectivity options to mobile users. From social networking to surfing the internet – Nokia Asha has made it all easy. On 6th June 2012, Nokia released three S40 OS smart phones to the Asha range – Nokia Asha 305, Asha 306, and 311, in Pakistan. All these mobile devices come with full-touch screen. They look awesome and worth showing off. Gone are the days when iPhone smart phone was considered to be the only full-touch mobile phone. Now Nokia Asha latest mobile phone sets has given every one the opportunity to flaunt their handset. Nokia Asha 305, 306 and Asha 311 – which were rolled out last year, gained billions of customers worldwide. These are quite identical mobile phones, except for Asha 311 which is a single-SIM mobile.


Why Nokia mobile is better than Chinese mobile sets?

A few years back Chinese mobile phones were getting immensely popular due to their numerous functionalities and low price. People in Karachi and other cities were mostly buying Chinese mobile phones because they are inexpensive as compared to popular brands like Motorola, BlackBerry handsets, Samsung mobiles and LG mobile due to the high rate of mobile snatching incidents.

Apart from this, Chinese mobiles offer Dual SIM and multi SIM support which made them very popular all over the country. People buy SIMs of different cellular network companies to avail their attractive offers. But not anymore, Nokia introduced its first Dual SIM mobile phones back in 2010 – via Nokia C1 and C2. Now Nokia mobile dual SIM range has extended to Smartphone and touch screen dual SIM mobiles, most popular among them was C2-03. As Nokia is a trusted brand – people have started preferring to buy Nokia dual SIM mobiles on Chinese mobiles.

Last year, many Chinese mobile brands were banned in Pakistan due to security risks. Chinese mobiles had same IMEI number which made it difficult to trace the user. Terrorists were using Chinese mobiles to carry out their heinous crimes in the country, especially in Karachi. This has made Nokia mobile phones even more popular in Pakistan.

Do you enjoy watching Television shows?

Since the advent of Television, people have found a new past-time. Gone are the days when they used to sit idle with bored faces, thinking what to do. There are different types of programs being shown on TV, ranging from children programs, news, discussions, dramas, movies and religious programs. Every day we come to know about a new channel, there is so much that a TV bring to our home that there is no point of getting bored anymore!

TV is a mean of entertainment

After doing all her daily household chores, a housewife enjoys watching showbiz news, fashion shows and soaps on her TV. Children can kill their boredom, especially during long summer vacations, by watching their favourite cartoons and other programs like Art Attack, MAD, and FAQ etc. It is not easy for parents to take their children to parks and play lands everyday as they are busy. The law and order situation in the country also discourages many families from letting their children go to parks and play with their neighbours’ children in the street.

TV is a safe mode of recreation for these children, who are tired of doing their homework and learning their lessons. Some of the TV programs are informative; they teach children many things including those that they usually find boring when they read about them in their books. They learn making different crafts and new techniques of art with paper. Do you have a patient in your house? If yes, than why not bring some comedy movies or tune in to a humorous program so that they can feel better. A patient confined on bed rest often think negative thoughts and feels depressed as they cannot do anything, while being on bed. Watching comedy and humorous programs on relives stress and depression.

People prefer Watching TV than reading a newspaper or magazine

Some conservative people do not like to have TV at their house they prefer to read books, newspapers and magazines, instead of watching TV. I wonder why these people like to read a paper that tells us what happened a day before. TV news are up to date, we get to know about the latest happening on the same day they occur. Is not it nice to watch a live Cricket match or listen to your favourite political leader addressing the public instead of reading briefly about them on newspapers the next day. This is the reason why the people of the modern era prefer watching TV rather than holding large newspapers in their hands, finding any news that interests them.

How does LCD TV differ from LED TV and Plasma?

Gone are the days when we only hear ‘Television’ or ‘TV’, now there are words like LCD TV, LED TV and also Plasma TV. It is really confusing for many of us. Do you know the difference among these technologies? Let’s us explain all those who often get confused when they go to the market for purchasing Used and New LCD TV Flat Screen for Sell in Pakistan.

A ttraditional used LCD TV sets use compact florescent lamp (CFL) back-lighting while LED TV come with Light Emitting Diode bulbs. LED is thinner, lighter and uses less electricity, whereas, used LCD TV’s fluorescent lamp uses more electricity.

Which TV set is better, LCD or LED?

Do you still have that bulky CRT TV set at your home? If yes, then it is about time that you replace it with LED TV, LED TV, Plasma TV or the latest 3D TV, depending on your affordability. CRT TV are now relics of past as they come with old tech displays and are more harmful to eyes and general health as compared to the high-end technologies of the present age. LED TV is considered better than the LCD TV sets due to sharper contrasts. The electricity is getting expensive and you cannot power LCD TV with UPS, during the ongoing power outages. Now you must be thinking that LED TV is expensive. Yes, you are right, but you can reduce your expenses by buying a Used TV. LCD TV does not last as longer than an LED TV, so if you want to buy a TV set which will function more than four or three years than go for a LED TV or Plasma TV.

Attend calls and enjoy your favourite music while on the go!

Do you feel irritated by loud horns honking, people yelling at each other or other kinds of noises that you want to avoid, when you go out at public places, say go for a walk, for instance? Being at crowded places like bus stands, railway stations, air ports and markets often causes headaches. No one wants to listen to the music that we often hear at public places and transports.


How to avoid noise at public places?

Why should we listen to something we detest? The modern technology has provided us with a solution. I get rid of the noises and silly songs by taking wireless headphone along with me wherever I go. It is fun listening to my favourite audios. I feel comfortable standing at long queues, waiting for my relatives at the airport and even when talking a walk in the park. No doubt, mobile accessories like wireless headphone, ear phone, Bluetooth device has changed our lives. They have provided us a way to avoid unwanted sounds and noises from entering into your ears.


What other benefits can we get from Mobile accessories?

Traveling charger:

Do you travel very often and have to attend and make a lot of calls? If yes, then why not use a travelling charger for your mobile phone. No matter where you are going you can keep the mobile’s juice full all the time.

 

Bluetooth headpiece:

Bluetooth headpiece, especially when having a Blackberry handset is a must. It gives one a smart and professional look as compared to those who use ear phones or headphones.

 

Data cable:

Having a data cable is must these days, you can transfer yore data and files from your computer device into your mobile phone. Mostly mobile phones come with a data cable, but sometimes used mobile phones, and old models of Samsung mobile phones, such as Samsung E 690 does not accompany a data cable. Customers have to buy a data cable for data transferring. Sometimes your data cable acts as a charger, when you plug it in the USB slot of your PC.

 

Ear phone:

Ear phone is very necessary. It enables you to attend calls and even listen to radio while driving, exercising or taking a walk.

 

Mobile cover:

Mobile phones often drop accidently and get damaged. We should protect our mobiles from getting disfigured or damaged when it falls accidently or keeping it safe from water spills and rain water by using a mobile cover. Mobile covers come in different types and materials. They not only look nice and fashionable but also prevent your mobile from damages. Some mobile covers or pouches come with a pocket in which you can keep your data cable, ear phone, memory card or your cellular network’s SIM.

 

Screen protector:

Screen protectors are very useful. You can protect the touch screen of your expensive mobile phones by using a screen protector. If you have an iPhone Smartphone then buying a screen protector is must for you. No one likes to see damaged screen.


Is your mobile phone compatible with Mobile accessories?

Whenever you go out to buy a mobile phone make sure that the one you choose is compatible for mobile accessories. Some mobile phones do not support data cable, like low priced Nokia mobiles. You cannot use data cable made for Samsung mobile with an iPhone or Nokia charger for charging your Sony Ericsson phone. Each charger has certain voltage and frequency which might not be suitable for your handset so always take your mobile charger with you. If you drive most of the time then using a car charger compatible with your mobile device is essential.
