Hopefully I am in the right thread.

1. Any different with GPS between import set or Mi Malaysia set?

2. Is the GPS good/excellent. For instance using map app during drivng?

Thanks!

Guys, I just received Redmi Note 3 32GB Grey onsale by Lazada for RM699 (minus RM30 for new user) few days back.

It is Thorus sealed and I think it is Kate version. Weight is 168gm.

But is there "software" way to tell that it is Kate? Rather than the weight and dimension? For instance baseband version?

I see people keep saying first page. But first page and the link to info about hennesy/kenzo/kate does not really tell how to check Kate base on version number etc.

Thanks & Appreciate!

PS: And thanks to the guy that provide Lazada link for the day few days back! Thanks! Thanks! & Thanks!

OK ladies & gents,

Confirm my set is Kate. So those who see same Lazada deal (now not in stock) and do not want Kate. You can stay away lah.

Question to sifus

1. How come it is Mi Malaysia warranty if it is Kate or Taiwan spec? Is this even true or I should check with Mi Malaysia? Anyone with Kate set done this check before?

2. Any difficulties beside hard to find screen protector and case due to non standard size? I test everything OK so far including GPS very fast lock.

3. I see some chinese text for instance in calender button which I just click the right button assuming that means "OK" button. Is this normal for all Redmi Note 3 or just Kate?

It is great to have Marshmallow out of the box since I am looking for it for development purpose (i.e. this means no need to install CM version). But if there is additional concern, I will just return for refund from Lazada

Thanks in advance!

the key question is how much you bought it?

The info is in my earlier post. It is Lazada fulfilled promo at RM699 minus new user RM30 coupon. I think not bad since Malaysia Mi waranty set is normally RM849 or RM799 after discount by other seller in Lazada. Imported set is much cheaper but that is not Mi Malaysia warranty.

When I receive it, I immediately saw that it is Thorus set and it remind me about earlier post letting people know that Thorus set is Kate or Taiwan Spec. Hence my earlier question and now we can confirm again that Thorus set is Kate!

So far Kate set is bad because:

1. The non standard size, so hard to get case and film/tempered glass.
2. It remove some LTE band. Not sure how this impact Malaysia.

Maybe other Kate set people can give more info.

for warranty i can assist you. call up xiao mi Malaysia service centre say you want to check your warranty validity then provide your imei to them. they will tell you whether it is cover by xiao mi Malaysia or not.

Just called. Checked the IMEI and it is Malaysia warranty.

Asked the service staff how come Taiwan set got Malaysia warranty. She said if imei in the system then got Malaysia warranty.

So that is that!

Anyone know where to buy casing for kate version?

If u google "lelong redmi note 3 kate lenuo cover". You will get 2 seller. One of them allow COC in Klang Parade.

I dont know whether this really specific to Kate version. The back side is silicone, so it can be that it will expand to accomodate the extra dimension.

I will be going to their shop in Klang Parade, today or tomorrow. So I will update more about this later.

My review on LENUO TPU CASE Silicone for Redmi Note 3 Kenzo Edition

PROS
1. Its thinner than most silicon casing i have found
2. It have caps to close the charging port and earphone port. Try open close many times and it still close back properly
3. Fit the phone very well wrapped and tight
4. The screen edges are slightly protected by the casing as well
5. There are actual cuts out for the buttons make it feels like you are pressing it
6. The back cut out are nicely done for the fingerprint, flash and camera. The depth of the finger print sensor are unnoticeable compare to the normal ones

7. All holes are cut to accuracy.
8. The grip of the phone is solid. Dont feel it will slip out of my hand
9. I bought for RM18 using lazada discount for all the above mentioned benefits its worth it better than the casing i bought at DirectD. They have one for RM15 for similar design but its thicker overall.

Other benefit from seller website

TPU material non-toxic and harmless
0.6mm ultra thin and featherweight
SGS quality accreditation
Anti-fingerprint and scratch-proof
Anti-fingerprint and scratch-proof
CONS
1. When you flash its slightly reflect back due to this casing
2. Will this casing turn yellowish? We will find out soon enough
Conclusion : Its one of the best TPU Transparent casing i every bought. Will look forward to this brand for future of my phones.  At first i dont trust oversea seller but this seller delivery it fast
Thanks for the review. The Lenuo Kate case that I just bought is different from yours.

It is silicone back cover (not transparent) plus front flap with faux/soft leather. Nothing special with the flap. No magnet and no button or anything. But it works for me since I can put it in my car in tent mode for GPS navigation. But even then, nothing special that hold it in tent mode. Just so happen that my car just have enough space to hold it in tent mode. So buy my car model instead of the cover if u guys need same functionality... Ha ha... Just kidding!

The seller sold it with no discount at RM25. Even after I mention that another seller is selling it for about RM17 to RM18. That is why I am not going to share and recommend the seller.

So if u guys Google "lelong lenuo kate redmi note 3 cover" and see RM25 and RM17.XX price make sure you choose the cheapest one wink.gif .

Nothing special about this case, but it fit well to Kate model with all hole allign perfectly. You can see pictures in lelong page. And that is how good the alignment is.

Cheers!

*PST: If you are a seller and someone name Haris asked for discount. Just give him discount wink.gif !
