The festive season is the best time to buy a smartphone in India. You get deep discounts on devices that increases the value for money. The OnePlus 6T is fresh in the markets, but for many, the base price of the smartphone may be too high. If you still want a flagship phone with a Snapdragon 845, there are quite a few options to choose from. You have the Poco F1 starting as low as Rs 20,999 for the 6GB+64GB variant while the Asus Zenfone 5z with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is also available at a discount of Rs 5,000 at Rs 31,000. But the best deal is perhaps on the LG G7 ThinQ (review).
The LG G7 ThinQ launched in India for a very reasonable Rs 39,999. You get the flagship Snapdragon 845 SoC under the hood, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. But it packs more interesting features like a 12-bit HDR display that supports Dolby Vision, a Quad DAC for Hi-Fi audio and a wide-angle camera.
Flipkart is offering a massive Rs 10,000 discount on the LG G7 ThinQ bringing the price down to Rs 29,999. There’s an additional discount of 10 percent if you purchase it using a SBI card, bringing the price down to Rs 27,000.

Additionally, you can also exchange an old Samsung Galaxy S8+, OnePlus 6 or an Apple iPhone 7 Plus to get the phone at Rs 14,999 or Rs 17,099 or Rs 14,099 respectively.
The LG G7 ThinQ is a grossly undervalued smartphone. The phone is both IP68 rated water and dust resistant as well as MLT-STD 810 military grade durable, which no other smartphone in that price range offers. The LG UI is also quite customisable and aesthically good looking. The camera can shoot HDR videos as well as record in high-fidelity audio. It’s also quite compact to hold and use.
The OnePlus 6T is also undoubtedly a good phone. It’s one of the fastest there is, but the niggling compromises might reduce the durability of the phone, which the LG G7+ ThinQ guarantees at much less the price.
