yes. whoever buying from reseller already forgone their warranty and services in mind before they decide to buy Xiaomi.

For Xiaomi business model, service centre will be setup but limited just like in China. only service centre at major cities.

Yes. a lot of users expecting Xiaomi Mi3 uses Snapdragon 800 8974AB chipset (support LTE, which the founder promised during conference. Now its put 8X74AB chipset in their spec).

When Mi3 start selling, there's no announcement on use of 8274AB chipset, many users only found out after they ran the test. Xiaomi offer full refund to unhappy user. since then, no more noise.

Perhaps, Xiaomi will gives SG a surprise using 8974AB chipset since SG now have LTE! meanwhile the reason Xiaomi falls back to 8274AB chipset due to China no LTE yet!

haha... dreaming!

Prices are searchable online! no need to guess.

RMB 2,499 (64GB) times 0.55 rate = RM 1,374

RMB 1,999 (16GB) times 0.55 rate = RM 1,099.45
SGD419 (16GB) times 2.65 rate = RM 1,110.35 (pls note, SGD419 might / might not include GST of 7%)

im expecting Malaysia Xiaomi Mi3 prices will be around RM1111 since buying online directly from Xiaomi.

Redmi is dual sim support.

Redmi is SOLD OUT !!!

reading in Xiaomi Singapore facebook posts and comments...

you gotta love to see the Singaporeans complaining about Xiaomi sold out within 8 minutes! butthurt slowpoke cant get Redmi

if you have explore xiaomi web, you can purchase Xiaomi Mi3 64GB model now (as i explored last weekend) meanwhile 16GB out of stock.

FYI, you can purchase outright NOW 64GB in CHina xiaomi web. its shows stock available.

meanwhile, 16GB model no stock available.

funny right?

HK today is the first day selling Mi3 16GB.

or waits for another 2 months when XIaomi officially selling in Msia lo...

no.

billing and delivery address have to be Singapore address.

else ask friend in SG to buy, then to courier / bring to Malaysia.

first phone to sell will be #RedMi and perhaps 2 weeks later Mi3, just like Singapore!

or better expectation: RedMi and Mi3 sells together !

Starhub selling prepaid package for #RedMi in IT show 2014!!

im using it now! awesome! Brought it RMB89 (RMB79 +RMB10 shipping) instead from Xiaomi official reseller (Tmall) with ready stock!

on other hand, i have this plan in mind since im flying to SG end of March. Brought AA zero fare long time ago!

Xiaomi Mi3 selling SGD419 (included 7% GST).
Buy Mi3 from Starhub (prepaid package) SGD419 (RM1,110.35) and claims back refund 7% SGD29.33 (assume rate at RM2.65 @ RM77.72), net price = RM1,032.63.

hehe...

i uses third party service to helps me buy in Cari forum. i think you can find similar reseller / agent to help to you from Tmall (aka taobao) China in lowyat.

rate charged 1.70, shipping RM31 for package below 2kg, if im not wrong.

here you are:

that's my ideal thinking / plan.
not yet take into any unusual incidents.
just pray hard then.

really? i yet to find out the details. Buying from telco should be able to get on the spot right? (unless Xiaomi have unusual arrangement with telco)

thanks for head up.

oh yeah! sensitive goods! my cari reseller did mentions this!

now i know why im paying RM31 for my XiaoMi power banks!

Xiaomi Mi3 Smartphone (16GB, Silver, iPmart warranty)

Condition: BRAND NEW
RM 1,282.00
Installment from RM 116.98/month

SOS.

ada warranty somemore!

correction: stocks will be finished in seconds!

its stranger that nobody knows how many units are on sale for Singapore market!

so, it can be 1,000 / 999 or 5,000 or 10,000 units.... since Xiaomi is practicing hunger strategy, they wont selling more than 10,000 units per batch for Singapore.

even in China, each batch only 10,000.

so for SG, its might be just less than 5,000 units. just wild guess.

Xiaomi Mi3 is sold out !!!

at 12:00pm sharp, i saw the "buy" button.
at 12:02pm, the buy button not there anymore!!!
