Guys, any guesses as to how much an original K3 Note set would cost? Price has dropped a lot since 1-2 months ago.. used to be averaging at about RM620'ish.. not sure if it's because news that ori set will be out that's why price drop.

IDSmartphone selling at RM588 which is the cheapest.. if buy from them at Lazada can use RM20 voucher too, though if get AP set got to go through trouble of flashing like how some of you all do and short warranty..

If ori set will cost RM700+ like Meizu M1 Note then I don't feel that it's worth it to get already..

What are your guesses on ori set?

walao, this pricing real anot one.. or you just copy from mi4i..

I'll be going to China soon.. should I get the phone there? Will be my first time there and what not with Google apps and stuff getting blocked, doesn't help that I'm a Gmail user. But local support ie. warranty and all is there, and price is cheaper too..

Contemplating between imported, original or china original set.. any advise?

Say if I buy AP set, would it still cover for warranty in China since it also comes with the original warranty card?

Those who haven't gotten it yet, wait for official release in Malaysia. India's selling it at RS9999.00, equivalent to RM588 (cheapest AP set now selling at RM579). Based on how A7000 was released in India first and then shortly in Malaysia, expect to see a similar trend for K3 Note as well.

I expect it to be about RM580-RM600. If RM70 difference, I'd rather go with ori set, save the hassle of rooting + 1 year warranty. My budget's about RM600 or less.

Actually rooting and flashing I'm not so concerned.. more on the hardware warranty actually. I don't know about Lenovo hardwares la, but I know ASUS smartphone lots of problems from what I have gathered. Just want to avoid such situations.

Hmm.. frequent 'flashers' here obviously prefers AP over ori haha. I have little experience in flashing, in that I have only flashed my Galaxy S3 to Temasek's CM11 because stock JellyBean was slow and laggy as heck. That too it took me some time to look for a proper ROM. I'm not very adventurous when it comes to flashing, so I prefer to stick to an official ROM if possible so that I get frequent OTA updates without problems. Hassle free. But you may have convinced me to get an import set..

In India Flipkart's selling A7000 for Rs.8999 (equi. RM529), but here in Malaysia it's retailing at RM699 but have been selling at RM625 (initial flash sale went down to as low as RM605 in Lazada).

It's all guess work now with numbers, and I have been itching to get the phone since I have discovered it in March.

Biasalah, technology.. this phone should last for a few years bah

Anyways, can someone post info on what version ROMs to flash with link, ori/custom, steps to flash, precautions, problems etc. and all that info?

@Sitescope

So that I can add it on the front page. Will be a helpful guide for those who get the imported set.

Hey, if you had used the app you would've been entitled to 10% discount. App seem to have better offer, although only a few bucks la..

Can clarify, what do DEV and ST mean?

Also, any way to install GApps with official ROM while retaining OTA function?

So, which is one to get? DEV or ST?

When you say to install GApps one by one, you mean after OTA playstore will be wiped and have to reinstall again?

Ok, to refine my question further.. is there a way to get Official ROM while retaining OTA function and at the same time allowing me to install GApps?

That is if I don't do it through root and CWM right? I just read a little on sitescope's guide.. excuse the barrage questions, have only rooted my phone once and a YouTube video served as my guide

Okay, purchased mine already at RM521

IDSmartphone, I think that's where you also bought it from

I don't understand your 2nd line.. I thought you said to get Gapps need to flash, and once flash can't get OTA?

Hnnngggghhh.. waiting for mine to get delivered next week...
