Is it adviseable to get a new AP i9505?

the new AP unit is very tempting in price (abt 800). with its specs, the price is nearly like a Mi3 though the CPU is slightly down the rung. The build quality of Samsung flagship is still way better.

Maybe try 1 unit first and see how is it this AP unit.
If what you are implying, if it is a real deal, then damn worth it.

bought i9505 to replaced my aged Lenovo S920. performance and screen is leaps and bounds improvement. traded a smaller screen but much improved AMOLED of S4. superb!

It is brand new AP set.

Got it for 820. Began update immediately and after 4 consecutive firmware upgrades, now on 5.0.1 official Lollipop.
Had some strange events like capacitive buttons not functioning. Did a factory reset, problems solved. Now enjoying it on 4G and the screen and speed is really an improvement over my aged S920.

Search around lelong, a few sellers around. Initially wanted to go for S3 i9305 but price is too similar, went for S4 i9505 instead. No regrets as better overall specs in almost same housing.

Mine updated to Lollipop immediately after connecting to my home WiFi, no issues whatsoever.

Were you facing the problem of the phone during usage heats up abnormally? Your battery kembang?

Mine was abnormally high. And battery kembang already
