You dont know marketing. See why Apple stuffs always sold out but Samsung never?

Btw, directd reduced Mi3 price to 959. Served them right. Dont always rip off Malaysian.

Great news for all user... if they drop until 900 and I cannot get Mi3 by end of June can consider it...

FYI their chipset 'Exynos' is like 2nd grade... currently top of my list Snapdragon makes the better chip, follow by Nvidia and Intel... next level lower is MTK (good chipset for power saving but speed slower) then Exynos which does not perform as advertise or benchmark... further more with the Bloatware Sanpdragon also will feel laggy, so Samsung phones with Exynos is really Laggy... if Exynos is go great why top range device mostly using Snapdragon, wouldn't Samsung waste the money???

Thia event just wanna capture those ppl thinking of buy N3 but expensive... so N3 Neo is cheaper than N3 to capture that bunch of ppl...
Don worry a lot of Fanboy will fall on that trap, pity those young fellow that pay Samsung to sponsor a lot of events...
Old ppl cannot say lo, cos Samsung comes out with Phablet screen 1st mah.... so a lot of ppl like it lo...

Mi3 definitely wont have Samsung quality when it comes to Service Center. Another up for Samsung really.
*
Really? I had bad experience where there is their material defect they do not replace... Had a few delays of my repair also from a week become 2 weeks... which lastly they replace the whole mobo...
During my waiting time I also saw a few ppl screw them, they did not admit got problem... even they say is like that one which I see pity uncle n Auntie got conned... got a guy which sent his tab10.1 for 5th time cos cannot charge problem...
Some others more... so there is always pros and cons not that perfect as u said... BTW u wanna say service, try others product only u know... my experience with Lenovo, Sony and HTC is more pleasant...

Samsung got it wrong with A15 really. They didnt expect the battery drain would be so bad. I think Samsung is pretty even with Qualcomm until Qualcomm start to play around with a A9+A15 hybrid. Samsung again opt stick with ARM with Mali instead of licencing PowerVR SGX parts, like they did with S1, which brought their downfall.
*
Bro, it was b4 that la... it was never right... I used S3 b4 and it really sucks...drain battery like hell... my record 3 battery per day and normally at least 2 for 16 hours... and that why I bought an Ori extra battery with external charger... but no use, it lags, drain battery and material problem (cracks at frame and cover) makes me hate Samsung more... it is a chance given to Samsung to reclaim their status in my heart but it totally failed...

I think it is a hit and miss affair with Samsung SC. I went to their SC (nearby KIA Auto Mall) several time for product warranty purpose.
Sometimes need to scold them upside down to claim warranty....
sometimes they very fast respond in ur product warranty claim (can personally call you few times to discuss about the problem after you left the phone at their SC)
They can improve a lot with consistency wise though.
*
The best is Ericsson or Sony Ericsson SC last time...
Then Lenovo which I follow up but they really help to speed up the claim...
Touch wood I never had much problem with my Sony now, but my gf handset did send back for a check... got it back after few days... hopefully XiaoMi did better than Asus, another Chinese company...

I see. I asked seven mobile. Software and hardware 2years warranty
Lcd , battery 6months warranty.

I wish to grab from Xiaomi directly. But dont have credit or debit card.
*
Hmmm... that seems better than 3 months... might consider if cannot get by end of June...
I'm no hurry to get Mi3 as my current Snapdragon600 phone with 2G ram is serving me as expected...

QUOTE(zhiyuanchan @ May 19 2014, 10:06 PM)
Seriously i'm a IOS fans , in this few years just using iPhone , but Moto G is first that poison me , after that bought for mum.
Now Mi3 make me poison again.  laugh.gif  But so sad tomorrow 12pm still at school. :'(
*
To be frank, their system is good... if not why XiaoMi copy some of their UI, actually most of the main idea is from there...
But the hardware really change ppl's mind with that pricing...
Lastly I still use IOS product, and I will continue give iPad a thumbs up compare to Android tablet which only gives u moderate User Experience... overall apps with hardware integration IOS wins on tablets... but for phones I will only get Android at the moment...

Exynos was good during the first batch of SGS2 and Note 1

soon after they became complacent with SGS3 and Note 2, with the notorios faulty eMMC

eventually they dropped it in their latest batch of flagships after realizing they cannot compete in the market if they continue with the Exynos

if want to buy, better buy SGS5 (for the ip58 and revamped GUI) or Note 3 (for the S-pen) which are based on Snap801/800, at least there is something to leverage against other makers

my next phone won't be on Samsung anymore, feel sien already, they are heading back to the old Nokia attitudes

Agrees, as I already banned them after using S3...

QUOTE(nickchk89 @ May 19 2014, 10:11 PM)
moto g is a good choice  rclxms.gif  buy one for urself,its really cheap and good or u can get mi3 rclxms.gif  android nowadays are improved alot compare to iphone 4 era

Used to have one, nice butterly smooth UI... sell to me lil bro as he want a smartphone... he go no complaints on it...


QUOTE(db07mufan @ May 19 2014, 10:13 PM)
btw noob question,

my work place has an app that runs on android and ios only, can i assume that if i buy the Mi3, i cannot install the app on MIUI?
*
Bro WAKE UP.... MIUI is just a skin... or launcher on top of Android...

Yea, but I don like Phablet haha... I'm using something bigger than iPhone but 5" is my Max... Used to have R3 with 5.3" and S920 also 5.3", a burden inside the pocket haha... big...

The price really change my mind.  rclxms.gif

Well MotoG is my 1st Android which launches below 1k and it really great...
That's y now I set myself 1k for the budget of my phones... so I will not spend too much yearly haha... n also try to limit myself to 2 per year, but really Mi3 spoiled this year... as it is the 3rd one haha...

My fav brand now..

1. Apple iPhone - loves iOS stability - but hates the screen size. My preferred size 4.7"
2. Xiaomi - MIUI - the best UI for android - clean n simple
3. Google - Stock ROM - Clean without bloat wares.. too bad price too expensive
4. HTC - Nice design
5. SONY - the features is too hard to reject

notice no samsung? I just hated it personally.. bad experience with CS, Products and pricing.
*
MIUI is just a launcher... personally I do prefer another one called Aviate, much more simpler and yet have some feature... but it is not that good for ppl whom wanna use a few widgets...

Agrees with your statement... on top...
But Nexus is not expensive... but it should be cheaper around 1k, not 1.2-1.3k....

In Penang, the service center is handled by SEMS sdn bhd, which handles the phones for Huawei and Sony as well. From my experience, i bought a low end sony phone, is truly a nightmare. Phone had display issue, the backlight was dead. From 1 week old phone turned like 1 year old phone after they "rape" the phone. Scratched everywhere including the screen.  Got back the phone 3 weeks later stating software issue they just restore the phone. Duno why they open the phone for in the 1st place. Worst was, after send to repair the 1st time the issue wasn't solved. Problem came back within a week. After send the 2nd time only they say is PCB problem. So much for incompetency.

Sold it off not long and get the HTC oneX. Damn, 1st month use LCD kong also. Same thing, nightmare with SiS. Took them 1month to replace a new one.

Anyhow i'll still try my luck with the Mi3, hoping the hardware will be more reliable  rclxms.gif

Is that at Lorong Abu Siti? Sorry to heard what is ur problem, but I have no problem last time claim K750 and K700 with them... not sure why they scratch ur phone but u can reject the phone cos when u hand over it is in near to perfect condition on-the-outlook

QUOTE(Connect2USales @ May 19 2014, 10:37 PM)
Nexus 5 price during launch is scary oh.. wanted to get it but .. then look at moto x.. not available in malaysia during that time.. then heard about how good xiaomi from IMOS boss in Taiwan. So mah give it a try lo.. loves it so much then.. hehe..
n now they said another taiwan brand also good.. some more better than xiaomi in specs but cheaper.. haha
*
Eeerrrr... well there are a few as I heard of but I prefer to get a phone which I can find SC in Malaysia or SG...

QUOTE(zhiyuanchan @ May 19 2014, 10:38 PM)
I'm fully anti samseng.  laugh.gif
Another reason give up Apple cuz of the price really can simply killed one Form 5 student, parent also didn't cover me even.
So my mind was changed when realise Mi3 , I think why should buy about 2k phone anymore? That's waste. Even use 2years , that phone cost it with 1.xk/year. Now phone with high spec and some more cheap , while that if after buy it , not happy then changed after 1 year lorh. It not very exp too. Same way , 2k+ phone also can let you use 1.5years only what.  sweat.gif
*
Well if cheap like this Mi3 my fren said he can change phone yearly.... haha..m and Samseng really can't last, a few cases I heard is the phone dead after 14 months...

if 14months still good.. my worst experience with samsung phone is Galaxy S. All i did was upgrade the SW via OTA. And it keep rebooting. I send it back to SC, they told me warranty over by 1 week. No claim eligible and the cost of repairing is RM550. I asked what happened, they told me logic board spoilt.. i said i did nothing but to upgrade only via OTA and this happens.. They keep telling me nothing can be done..

then i google and finds out the same issue happen around the globe, problem with logic board after 1 year of use, some earlier. I brought this up to Samsung HQ and they apologise, they offer me to replace the board at RM350 instead of RM550..

And thats the last i ever use a samsung..
*
they use this tactic... my fren drop her N2 also just about 1 meter height onto cement floor and the screen cracked then LCD also haywire... so complaint even within warranty she needs to fork out money to repair it, cos she dropped b4... me S3 frame cracked issue, also complaint ups n downs cos online also a numbers of ppl same problem... but they said user rough usage need RM600 to replace... i tell them to go hell ur problem i need to bare??? sold off n never wanna buy 1 again... a few of my frens also same problem, i would say 70% of the S3 i saw have this problem...
