My H3C is 1 yr 1 mth old still working perfectly. Battery is slowing down so might just buy a new batt.


What I hate about mi4i is no MicroSD support and batt is non replaceable.


If have friends in India, can tumpang them to buy for u?


China and India market is big enough for them... problem is usually demand exceed supply. Msia is super small mkt for them so less priority to launch here until factory can cope with demand.


H4X is different league... does not have FHD screen res so forget abt it.

I have always ignored Lenovo mobile phones (for their previous models) because their design looks "outdated". But this K3 Note is decent looking... almost like an up-sized Honor 3C which I have grown to like.

In Lazada some selling RM579, some selling RM830. What's the difference?
Is it better to buy at Lowyat (can feel & touch and test) before buying?
Kindly advise, thanks.

Also for folks who already have the phone, can kindly check if Vietnamese is one of the language options provided? Cos I am buying it for a friend there. Thanks.

Thanks very much for the info, bro.

One of the better reviews here:

Just doing some price comparisons:

China price....... RM527 (CNY899)
http://shop.lenovo.com.cn/product/45012.html

ID Wholesale Smartphone shop.............. RM588 (But Sold Out for Now)
http://idsmartphone.com.my/

Singapore price.... between RM504 - 560 (S$180 - 200)

Lazada price...... RM622 - 1,037


Seems like Lazada Msia price is most expensive.

Show me the link if u have something to share. Thanks.

Actually there is NO price increase. Lenovo in China still selling at RM527 (CNY899).
It's just that some ppl cannot wait and don't mind paying MORE for it via Lazada etc.

Price Updates:

China price....... RM527 (CNY899) PLS USE THIS AS BENCHMARK!
http://shop.lenovo.com.cn/product/45012.html

ID Wholesale Smartphone shop.............. RM588 (Back In Stock!)
http://idsmartphone.com.my/

Singapore price.... between RM504 - 560 (S$180 - 200)

Satu Gadget....... RM595

Greenfone Gadget Store..... RM598

DirectD.............. RM599
http://www.directd.com.my/lenovo-k3-note

Lazada price...... RM622 - 1,037

------------------------------------------

Yes, you are quite right. Just that I do not understand why some kids bought at RM5++ and see someone in Lazada selling at 600 - 1K, they seem to think they have "saved" some money and prices have increased. Prices have NOT gone up. In fact, they will keep going down and down.... this same phone next year will probably be RM400 or less....

S'pore also selling AP sets from China. As far as I know, only India is selling int'l sets.

I think Lenovo is trying to clear its current inventory of outdated and overpriced phones in MY/SG before bringing in the K3N. Once the K3N hits the market here officially, all those older models will be totally redundant and unable to sell. (This is just my opinion).

MY/SG is "kuching kurap" market compared to China/India.

Is there someone who lives in KL/PJ who has successfully rooted/flashed the phone to India rom also do it for me?

I am buying the phone online and after getting it, I will only have a few days with it before I pass it to my friend overseas. I won't have time to play around with it.

Let me know ya. I don't mind paying u a bit for your time. Can meet at nearest kopitiam in your neighbourhood.

Thanks.

Thanks very much for your kind offer. I have not bought the phone yet due to Raya break... will PM u once I get it.

I think the RM100 voucher deal on Lazada ended...

I just bought from Smart ID for RM588. At least its a proper shop with 2 year shop warranty. Can see, can touch before buying.
Try not to talk about something in the past that is not relevant to ppl who wanna buy the phone today lah.

Finally met up with mulut99 last night for kopi and he helped me flash my phone. Super nice guy. Offered to pay him a bit for his trouble but he refused payment. After flashing, I went home and updated to S117. Phone is now working perfectly without any Chinese bloatware & spam.

THANKS VERY MUCH, MULUT99 BRO. APPRECIATE THE HELP.

-------

Btw I found that a Music Player is missing in S117. Looks like I have to download frm Google Playstore. What do u guys use to play music?
UPDATE: Have installed Onkyo HF app... best ever music player.

Flashlight feature from S114 is also missing in S117.

Thanks to both yourself & sitescope, too, for the offer to help. The community here is very helpful.

I still can't find it. Where is the "notification panel"?



I think maybe salesman is just guessing. By Dec, lots of new models would have launched. Meixu M2 Note with similar specs already selling for just RM699. K3N will have to follow China pricing and remain below RM600 to stay competitive.

Oh...thanks a lot, bro! I found it, finally... haha!

---

One of the biggest advantage (at least for me) of K3N vs Meizu N2 is that the battery of K3N is user-replaceable. Which means after 1+ years when it's time to change batt, u need not send it back to the distributor. Useful for those who are living outside KL... or overseas.

I think this guy's instructions are quite easy to follow.. to flash your phone.

Can give it a try...

When you buy at the shop, make sure it does not have the flickering problem encountered by this guy.

This mirror screen protector looks interesting. Anyone tried it? Can share user experience?

I detected a strange thing with the K3N. Today left the phone in the car and it got a bit hot. After that I found that the wi-fi does not detect any signals unless I am VERY near the wi-fi hub.

I switched off the phone to let it cool down a bit. Powered on and everything back to normal. Anyone else encountered this problem?
