It is rumours said that this k3 nkte is ONLY for china market..will not be released to others country..is it true?
But now in market is ori imported (ap) which is totally import from china..

So in your opinion..will it be release / launch officially in malaysia?

Lenovo Msia said yes... end of June

This video review just further proves just how good the Lenovo K3 Note really is at its price point:

I'm surprised they have not brought it in yet. Other similar devices like Honor 4X pales in comparison.

This hp will say bye2 to 4x in 1 blink eyes...

QUOTE(one_guy @ May 23 2015, 10:23 PM)
I heard ori set will come with Dual Sim LTE for Sim 1 and Sim 2...
Is it true?
*
Yup

QUOTE(hellstrider @ May 23 2015, 10:46 PM)
Actually in my opinion, it is only based on the ROM used in the phone..currently still no ROW (Rest Of World - International) version which is used by ORI set in Malaysia.

The phone should be the same..since it is originally imported from same country - China.

BUT, this is just my opinion..I'm not the developer..haha
*
Nope... based on hardware... if sim2 is 2G, no way u can get 3G/4G by upgrading rom

QUOTE(hellstrider @ May 24 2015, 09:25 PM)
Bro, can ask something?I am going to buy this tommorow..

1) How about your 4G speed? someone comment cant even reach 30mbps compare to other phone (same sim / place)
2) Google Playstore included? all apps can run normally?
3) Contact/SMS...got any problem of that?
4) Is it rooted?
5) can update the rom? (Rumours : google playstore will lost once u update and void the warranty)
is it?

6) can show the ROM version here?
Got info LTE prob solved after upgraded to 1518_ST rom.
*
1) install 1518_ST, then ur 4G will improve
2) Yes
3) Contact got prob, unable to read number with country code. So need to clear data for whatsapp & re-login.
4) No... Need to flash via CWM
5) Yes & PlayStore also gone after update. Need to flash back via CWM. Sap sap suiii jeee...

I've prepared the step on how to flash this hp.

QUOTE(ashraf095 @ May 24 2015, 09:46 PM)
How is the battery? How many SOT (screen-on time) can be archieved?
*
Depends... 3-4 hours...

QUOTE(Kato888 @ May 25 2015, 01:02 PM)
Seems like this phone is slowly gaining popularity smile.gif

I think what distributors like DirectD do is that they root the phone and install it with English supported VibeUI + install Google Playstore as the phone is only tailored for the Chinese market as of now. Then they give you their own warranty: 3 months for parts (excluding accessories) + 2 years for firmware. Got to check with #SiteScope if the official Lenovo warranty card is there instead of the distributor's.

Also, make sure you buy the phone from the shop itself yeah and test before you pay. Lenovo Golden Warrior Note 8 (A936) got GPS problem for units sold in DirectD (staff told me), but when I asked other distributors they say no problem.

On 4G dual sim, some websites have stated that it's 4G+4G. Though #sitescope said otherwise for his set..

#SFOD-D #hellstrider

Please post pics of (not from) the phone! Would be good if you can also give some comment/short review about it.

No Lenovo warranty card in the box...
AP set = sim1 4g , sim2 2G
ORI set = sim1 4g , sim2 4G

My phone can get 30mbps DIGI LTE with no issue if they location is right. Yup play store is any other android. Not sure about contact but all my Wassap is working fine....I think...and I have circa 200 active members. Not rooted. Mine is out of the box ROM probably 1512? After using it for 4 days I've experienced lagging in certain things like typing and launching applications. Probably due to China rom? Battery life not great SOT circa 6-7 hours possible with heavy usage of Wassap, FB, some you tube and internet. Camera seems very good for a RM628 price tag. Reception and call quality OK not bad not great either. Really not sure about the warranty since I bought it from original import near Ampang point. I think got warranty but the receipt got no indication at all about warranty. China warranty card is included though. Back cover yellow is nice but seems low quality. Phone is very light compare to my Find 7A almost light a toy phone he he he. Would I recommend it to others? Yes if u want a compact light LTE phones with decent specs.....China ROM and bloatwares is a drawback though

Thank TS for this thread, was plan to buy Mi4i but too bad it dont have LTE Band 1 (2100Mhz) that I need to use in Thailand.

Just brought 1 unit from China Online store. Shipped using SingPost. Should arrive in 2 weeks hopefully.

Hi there SFOD-D, when you say out of the box ROM is 1512, I assume you referring to the build number under settings->about phone->device information? Can confirm?

If not, what was your build number?

To user sitescope, - Bro , can I ask
when you say "playstore will be lost once u update", I assume u are referring to after applying OTA updates? can u confirm or further clarify?

Any owners encountered any other hardware/software issues after applying OTA updates? Pls share your experience and your "out of the box" build number of your phone.

Your input will help me decide whether to buy locally or from overseas china phone online store.

Tq to all

1 with +6 , 1 w/out +6
