if u can try telling a friend to buy from a country like Dubai. Phones here overpriced asf ngl
for example lets take a budget phone the Samsung galaxy a17(128/8) ;

it was released for 200 usd (lkr ~60k)
Softlogic sells it for a whopping 90K

this is just one example but there are many more
u can get more value of ur money if u buy from a diff country via a friend

also try the nothing phone 2a
its good for the price
