which one is better between Xiaomi Hongmi @RM750 and Jiayu G3T @rm580? The spec is more/less the same. Hongmi with bigger screen size and G3T with bigger battery.

so ur mi3 is TD version?

better huawei honor 3c.. the price is lower and if broken still have service centre.

Do you guys not think what if the phone broken up? although has warranty, but that's international warranty, need at least 2 mths to be fixed and if more than 1 yr, how to fix?

both no. since they both does not have service centre in MY. Prefer Huawei Honor 3C.

I have not use Jiayu G3...however for Xiaomi Hongmi, it is worth every penny spent...very satisfying experience, and frequent updates on the MIUI rom means we're staying updated all the time Community support very strong also.

this phone got sun global battery?

I think not yet available bro

Since both have almost identical spec, I believe the the performance of Jiayu G3T is not much different with your Hongmi. Got an offer for Jiayu G3T @RM580, while the cheapest Xiaomi Hongmi I can find is @RM750.

Let us know the outcome bro previously wanted to try also but heard that overtime I may coz some erratic action but that one was on the dual core version. I believe the quad-core version is a lot better. Anyway good price you've got there bro you can get Hongmi for RM650 from forumer lwk something. He is here also

Hongmi @650 is kinda great. But still he bigger battery on G3T really impressed me. Anyway now I've got another offer for used Xiaomi Mi2s for rm400..Need to see the xiaomi mi2s 1st before deciding on which one to buy. mi2s battery is only 2000mah though

hongmi battery is quite good. 2000mA is normal for a 720p smartphone, especially 4.7" (think nexus 4). however, im sure you get better battery life with mi2s due to smaller screen. by the way u got a good offer there for mi2s, i would definitely buy it.

That is way below market price bro, grab it! I sold my mi2s for 1k but I bought it new la, and condition when sold it like new also

Definitely! Unfortunately that guy dont have any idea which model it was. In fact it was just Mi2A. So decided not to buy. Now back to hongmi vs g3t. The seller lwk hasnt reply mu query.

Tested with umobile 3g & surprised that 3g is available. Can use 3g with no problem. Even if it's a copy, it's better than hongmi. Ui is butter smooth. Play 3d games no lag. Lucky to get WCDMA version.

so it's a copy??

If more than one year shud be ok already. Even if it is broken, for the price it worth already. Even rm2k galaxy s3 got broken after one year..happened to few of my fren. So for this rm600-700 fon, if broken after one year n there's nowhere to fix, can j ust throw it away and buy a newer model which is probably around the same price tag as well.

Just my 2cent.

Good news. seems xiaomi will officially comes to Malaysia

Shocking ... after a week of use, found mine to be fake. Bought from aliexpress, I was too fast to complete the transaction ... now unlikely can get refund for it.

My thought was that since its a MTK phone and already low cost, there shouldn't be clones ... to my surprise, the details and the extend it goes to clone it.

My experience:
1. Was expecting it to be speedier (ignored)
2. Some apps crashes (thought maybe it just need an update)
3. Slow locking of GPS (maybe its ROM issue)
4. ....

Then, found I cannot update with the official ROM .... started to be suspicious. Googled and only little information online as it is still new and clones are also quite fresh. Use CPUZ and found that screen resolution is lower and the CPU is MTK6572 (dual core). You cannot easily tell from the outside, the ultimate test is using CPUZ and also general feel of the speed and by installing some more CPU demanding apps. The "about phone" also give the wrong information ... says quad core 1.5GHz.

The box even have the scratch sticker that has a valid code ... (the only clue is that the code has been checked over 1800 times online). The IMEI and the serials are also valid according to official site. They even clone the IMEI and serials!!!

How can I salvage the lost? Anyone interested in a clone Hongmi?

Haha. Yea. Its definitely copy. Checked with cpu/ram identifer. Says cpu is mediatek mt6577 dual core. Even the flash memory is faked. Actual 4gb only. Lol. Anyway, the shop didnt cheat me la, upfront tell is a copy di. Its just that they made it so close to the real phone. I tried the real phone in xiaomi store.


Bro, good luck in geeting refund.. Did the seller mention its a clone phone? If not then is cheating case hence u got a case to fight them.

The title of the post says Original Xiaomi Hongmi and throughout the communication, it is obvious we are talking about the real thing. So, yes ... it is cheating. The fact that the price is close to matching the real phone is already a cheat, it is only a little bit cheaper.



So, buyers beware. Sellers too when you source from China.
