Actually AP set is exactly the same as original, except few things:
1) warranty
2) language options
3) charger (3 pins vs 2 pins etc)
for Note2, i can say there's nothing to worry at the moment as the set is very new.
but for s3, please be careful as we ourself have detected some 'attempt of cheating' by the AP importer.. where they change the battery to a local one, thus the NFC cant work.

AP is no different to SME. Plus you save RM300. Can you use that money to invest a good casing and SP. Talk about faulty, you think SME no faulty? Yo think people never had issue claiming SME warranty?
Let me give you some pro and cons...
For AP, you are first adopter, save money, is considered ori set only in other country. Cons will be only 3mths warranty on LCD, accessories and battery...im not so sure about SME. AP warranty is 24mths like motherboard
For SME, they say one year warranty but dont know whether covers everything.....oh yea, u might get the star 6mths epaper subscription for free. Cons...pricing is bit high.
Whether to go for AP or SME, is a matter of choice. Due to the fact the device is awesome created so it really doesnt matter which you choose.

Thanks for sharing. Good idea honestly. I feel like since I got budget issue, better just get AP. With the charger, I can leave with it.
Also, having the extra bucks, yes can buy more accessories and I always change my phone whenever samsung releases new one lol!
