looks like this mi3 thread is dead....LOL! i tot it will like other models thread discuss about rom, apps, special features/ accessories but inside here taobao thread+freight thread+order thread+fanboys argue thread.

Other then specs, the price is the key notworthy.gif

If only Samsung or etc brand have the same price+spec brows.gif imo sure people might jump ship due to Samsung or etc brand have more and better after sales support (official and XDA Taikor one).

Yeah, because your wallet is so light after paying so much.

We pay RM769 only and get high end spec  rclxms.gif

Actually, people pay for the after sales service as well hmm.gif

Thus u see Apple or Samsung or etc product can be said "overpriced"

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Jun 19 2014, 05:48 PM)
I know you're jealous. Pay so much for other brand but need to custom rom to get better performance.

We pay RM769, get high performance hardware with highly optimized MIUI without bloatware.  rclxms.gif  icon_idea.gif

hahah, for custom rom part, actually it is quite good mar. U can jump here and until u find which one u like.

TW Rom->AOSP->AOKP->Mix->MIUI->etc u like smile.gif


Now with 4.4.3 Rom tongue.gif for product that nearlly 2 years old quite good. Even my XZ (i get it cheap) or P780 (foc) -> lack of this

I get most of my phone foc mar.. plus I am planning on Mi3s to be exact if it comes alang2 got LTE nod.gif

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Jun 19 2014, 07:01 PM)
Quite impossible. The way these distribution channel works plus the advertising cost alone already add a big chunk of overhead for Samsung. Not to mention they had to stock phones, parts, and also run a service center is also adding to the cost. You know if you talk nicely with them, you can get it repaired on the spot. I don't think you can find anything close to the level of service Samsung provide. Yeah, their phone is getting more and more expensive but you are paying for more than just the phone itself.

Yes I have good exp with Samsung Kch SC.

1 days fix for partial SDS for my wife note 2

QUOTE(jolokia @ Jun 19 2014, 08:55 PM)
U r actually paying advertising fees to convinced u into buying Sammy & A Fruit, U also paying Dealer shop rent, sales staff commission, warehouse charges what not.

Probably S5 & IP5s can be your for 1300 or less.

Base on economy of scale bigger manufacturer cost should he lower.

I didn't see what so special about Samsung after sales service, pretty normal if u ask me, firmware update for mid range also nothing to shout about, My S3mini start with JB 4.1.2 now still stucked with it, same go Mega which still in JB 4.2.2
*
Midrage phonefor samsung afaik are quite so n so.

But I am talking about flag ship since mi3 are flagship class. nod.gif

S3, S4, S5, Note 3, Note 3 these model.

Not to forget option for Custom Rom mar brows.gif If doing root why not alang2 custom rom brows.gif

I got so so service from Samsung SC only, be it phone, electrical appliances.

If Mi3 is equal to that of Samsung Flagship at 1/3 of it cost, Samsung can gulung tikah already.

I have good exp mar.. hmm.gif depend on SC imo.

btw how good is Xiomi sc? anyone notworthy.gif

How about the quality of the inside stuff hmm.gif

I do wonder what is the actual cost of building phone that have spec like mi3 and etc hmm.gif

Only 1 I think. Because Mi3 very low defect compare to Note 2. Note 2 always spoilt one. QC for Note 2 is worse than Mi3.  icon_question.gif
*
S3 is worst vs Note 2, IMO note 2 one imo due to cpu they used.

QC on the charger part is more worst nod.gif

bro, even he changed the name of the topic, it still doesnt serve the purpose for such thread being opened.

The flouting is due to these reasons:
1. Promoting selling activity of a forumer on page 1
2. Duplication of thread
3. TS's motive is questionable
4. IF the thread is allowed in a discussion thread, then everyone will be posting sales thread or moving the garage sales in this discussion thread.
5. Setting precedent to flout in a discussion thread

I have no qualms forumers keep on posting there, but i just dont see rationale why mod did not take action? rclxub.gif

That what I mention is that tread, rclxub.gif

Since Xiaomi is becoming more and more famous in Malaysia now, plus the plans provided by local telcos, etc etc, I wonder if those phone stores in Lowyat plaza already followed the trend and started to sell the Xiaomi accesories such as SP, casing, earphone, mikey, etc.

I will go there this weekend. Will report here if I find any Xiaomi-related stuff.

Hope so price will not much different

see y the price kept dropping, becos it sux

must have a reason why they manage to sell it cheap..

maybe china gov subsidise mi3 price to dominate asia and world ... thus it's. cheap.

as long no hidden hardware lvl spyware install should be ok.

lenovo brand kena last time in eu and usa. china lvl hardware spying..

Then u better don't buy & use, coz ur little china doll affairs might be exposed in public... lol

If govt want to know ur secret just use Gsm interceptor.

U should stop watching too much Hollywood movie next thing u start to believe there is Alian among us, X men hidden somewhere, Godzilla, Spiderman, Ironman..lol

Very easy Xiaomi sell direct & their advertising cost is minimal, who do u think paying all those Samsung signboard, Tv ads, newspaper, magazine, web ads, football team uniform, K pop concert, dealer profit, rent, warehouse, staff salary & bla bla..
*
Well if you did read the link I provide earlier, you may understand it.

wink.gif he ask so I answer mar, possibility of why xiomi can produce cheaper phone vs other brand (not only Samsung, Sony, LG and etc brand)

Other then aspect of advertisement/etc that make the selling price higher.

btw I planned to get Xiomi mi3s which afaik got LTE smile.gif
