HTC One (M8): Price & Specs in Bangladesh

HTC has come out with their latest flagship device  the HTC ONE M8. It is an update to their previous HTC ONE, which is regarded as the best phone of 2013. It comes with the same look and feel. But, I am not quite sure about HTC's intention behind its main 4 MP dual camera. It is available in Bangladesh for a price of 62,000 TK, on bargain.

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2: Price & Specs of the Grand in Bangladesh

After great success from the Samsung Galaxy Grand Samsung has introduced its successor with more powerful hardware. Although its yet to add some most needed hardware specs like the Super AMOLED display and the gorilla glass protection. Whatever, its look and performance is pleasing. But, that doesn't justify a price of 28,500 TK. I would rather go for the Primo X2 which is sold for a t least 5,000 less than the Grand 2 but with more powerful hardware.
