If you say like that, all other brands like HTC, Sony, Samsung can continue to upgrade loh with help of CM ROMs

Not necessary.
Just like Note N7000, dead like fish now.
Why? Because Crapsung don't want to release source codes.
So no matter how hard developers try, bugs will still present in our phone.

only problem is for non-rooted user, which only rely on official OTA will mad.gif vmad.gif those ppl care about 18m.
If you compare only rooted nexus device with among all these HTC, Sony, Samsung, etc... Nexus still is first priority for most of top dev community to develop. so again, nexus ftw

Yup, so just go for Sony or Nexus, in short.
Avoid Samsung at all costs, especially with Exynos chipset, except Qualcomm.

maybe the sender labelled the shipment as gift and non electronic device..i usually import into singapore since there is no need for similar sticker like Sirim and only 7% gst tax..

That is subsided price from Google USA. Even if you buy direct from Google n bring it in you need to add about rm100 - 120 or courier n rm100 for Sirim permit.
You can reduce costs by buying in 3 units as the permit can cover up to 3 phones
*
Assume the phone price at Rm1116 for 16gb
Shipping fees-RM100
Sirim-100 or might get lucky get through customs without being charge
Total RM1316. still 23% cheaper the only drawback is not cover under warranty only

even if get Qualcomm variant for phones like Samsung Galaxy S4, when flashing aosp roms, features like hdmi-mhl and bluetooth headset breaks due to limited samsung source code.

All are correctly declared as I buy from clove uk, handtec uk n google USA. These sellers will always declare stuffs correctly. Simple fact sone msian custom officers are just lazy to do extra work holding up your stuffs. Sometimes it coukd be too much cargo in for them to check. That is why I say depend on one's luck

You have to bear all the risk of the phone you are bringing in, and if lost, you lost RM 1316. But if someone selling it, he bear all the risks.

Ordering from Google is not easy as you think, they keep on cancelling order if one of the details you provided doesnt match their requirement for the automated system of ordering.

i can show you how to order from Google USA and cost involve, and by then you can know 16GB at RM 1399 by some of the good seller like dark devon and shiro, is pretty good price. Do factor in people are doing business, not charity. smile.gif

Where did you get wifi at medium brightness? Also what is medium brightness? Different panel has different brightness.

I'd wait for anandtech's review that standardized all screen test at 200nits.
