That's need to be clarify later when it launch here.
Alternatively we can send it back without shipping charges to T&L Telecom.

I thought Hong Kong Set same with US and cannot use in Malaysia?
Can ah?

Yes, but does it justify as worth the gap from 64GB to 256GB.

Cannot use in term of?

The LTE Band is for the US like Verizon.
For Malaysia, the band supposed to be AT&T.....I wanted to buy from US but found out that AT&T does not sell outright.

Ok, i recheck, seems like for the X and also the 8+, the LTE bands are similar except A1865 has an additional CDMA band which we dont use here in Malaysia (CDMA in Japan and Verizon..etc only)
So does it mean that if i can any other 2 models will work here and best is to get A1895 as it has additional band. I'm planning to get either in US or HK

hey guys, wanted to seek advise that is it recommended to buy from t & l or should i wait for local set?

Itchy or not? Heheheh

hehe quite, especially with rm 500 voucher. what's your thoughts? any cons buying from them?

wait till you are able to get the RM500 voucher, its not exactly easy to get one

it depends if you need that much of space. I got used to big space since 7+, and enjoy putting all photos even very old one into my devices. 256GB really give you the freedom to record 60fps 1080p or 4k without worries. If you can live with 64GB and don't intend to keep this very long(cycle next year) 64GB maybe enough.

I see, actually last week i able to grab it.. but i hesitate to buy it.
Initially thinking that local set should be better

Thank you for your insights. I intend to use the phone for a few years, until the a11 chip runs out of its capabilities

Maybe the gap is worth for my case, I hope.

Enjoy the high quality video with the new phone, 60fps really looks different than 30fps, if you have higher resolution screen than 1080p then can try 4k 60fps video, pretty sure it looks cool. Load your phone with high quality audio and video as well, get a good headphone and you will know how good your decision is to have 256GB space.

Check this out why it is still a good upgrade to 8+ from 7+

I've used AT&T & T-Mobile version of iPhone before, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus to be exact. Works normally, all LTE can be use in MY.

Thanks for the confirmation. This makes it cheaper to buy from US

Do you think mobile2go is legit?
