this one, i am not sure. sometimes it depends on the phone's firmware when displaying the icon. it could be latching to 4G Advance signal but only display 4G icon.

only way is to test and compare the speed throughput.

same location: Lenovo P2 + Maxis @ 4G+ signal icon, note down the speed.
same location: RN4 + Maxis 4G signal icon, note down the speed.

if RN4 speed can achieve similar throughout as from Lenovo P2, then most likely RN4 can accept 4G Advance signal.

just a suggestion.

here are some nett price comparison between G5 and Lazada, with the following assumptions:

1) all selling price is the same, which is unlikely. so i just use this as a loose guide.
2) G5's 106HLM discount still working next month on Tuesdays (7, 14, 21, 28 Mar)
3) Lazada's 10% UOB discount working (was not working last week due to cart issue)
4) shopback/centease/milkadeal not taken into consideration
5) my UOB YOLO cashback quota still empty



Summary:

1) best MTK 3GB/32GB is from G5|Gtronics at RM735 selling price, nett price RM591.26 after all discounts from credit card.

2) best SD 3GB/32GB is from G5|Gtronics. nett price about RM689.02. Take MTK variant if wanna save RM97.76.

3) for 3GB/32GB, MTK vs SD, nett price difference is RM97.76. Both from G5/Gtronics. I wonder if it's justifiable for the almost ~RM100 difference.

4) MTK 32GB vs MTK 64GB, nett price difference is RM50.85. If you dont mind doubling the storage with minor price difference, get this one from Woo Phone. Delivery not fast (about 3 days), but unit was original China ROM, unopened box, need to manually flash to Global ROM. Too bad, the stock is finish as of today 26 Feb. Perhaps can wait for few more days since i'm planning to get a 3rd RN4 only next month.

cimb cash rebate card (5% online cashback) if purchase from gemfive. however, cashback is capped at RM30 (RM600 spending), that is why i try to avoid using it to maximize return

sellers purposely jacking up price for blue/black/grey colors. most common is Gold (not many ppl wants it?) then Silver.

i found Gold seems to be quite elegant, not as sissy-color as expected (perhaps compared to Rose Gold of iFon)

for my own purchase decision comparison. i just share it out. i dont buy from 11st and i only compare 3GB - 32/64GB only. lower-end model of course cheaper la.

add 11st your own lo.

price changes everyday, no need to keep updating the table, probably until i really going to swipe my cc.

lazada app's uob 10% discount working

loosely refer the table from my previous posts.

use 106hlm code for direct rm106 discount. then use cc that gives u cashback for online category transaction.

uob yolo 6% (capped rm50 if total monthly spending 800 and above, should be no problem since rn4 already 7xx )
cimb cash rebate 5% (capped rm30 for online)
pbb vs 6% (capped rm50)

5% cashback if using CIMB Cash Rebate card for online transaction.

Donno can do cod or self pick-up. normally just delivery la. it's online portal mah.

Stinky shared it.

search Redmi note 4x.

selling price now 835. nett price would be lower than last week's

compile sendiri lo

there is a card called CIMB Cash Rebate card. it gives you 5% cashback if paying for online transactions (lazada, zalora, g5, etc.)

read more here http://www.cimbbank.com.my/en/personal/pro...mastercard.html

nope. i actually compiled for my own comparison. info could be outdated liao since some stocks are out, price is revised, vouchers could be ended, etc.

i'd need to recompile again once i'm ready to purchase

yes

G5's 106HLM not working dah

my discount table was correct at the time of writing, but with the assumptions that the discounts would still work in March (which i planned to buy my 3rd unit).

since now the 106HLM already not working, the whole table is invalid (for G5) except Lazada's 10% UOB discount on Tuesday.

again, pricing changes (*ahem*manipulated*ahem*) on daily basis, technically the table had very short accuracy

eg Woo Phone not selling RM759 for 3GB/32GB at Lazada today. It's been jacked up to RM805.

i got it, working fine. updated to global ROM, done deal.

latest compilation. useless to compare with G5 now since no more decent code. mostly Lazada.

1) mediatek 32GB vs 64GB, nett price difference rm39.76.
2) 32GB, mediatek vs sd, nett price difference rm48.22

some sellers posted it as Redmi 4 Pro, but using SD 625. i guess should be correct by grouping it as redmi note 4x

this is just my own list using uob card at lazada app on Tuesday for 10% discount, then getting 6% cashback from bank (UOB YOLO's card feature).

if this is a big concern, should've checked this thread

i've posted the screnshots of the phone and packaging.

i've bought 2 units, mediatek 3gb/64gb. one from terabyte (came with global rom), one from woo phone (china rom, i flashed to global rom).

both china mobile etched at the back casing. china mobile packaging.

no issues. use as normal.

for the price and specs, aint complaining.

from gtronics @ gem5?

can share the screenshot of the phone details?
