is it better to go for the 4gb ram/64gb rom or the 3gb ram/32 gb rom is good enough?

They will cut yr existing sim to nano size, but if your sim is too old, they will want u to change it, and can clone yr old sim onto a new nano-sized one. No charge for cutting the sim. I just had mine potong to nano size a few days ago. Former digi and current maxis customer here.

ya i was informed by maxis they will do it free...digi charge rm10 tongue.gif

Open dialler app

Dial *#*#64663#*#*

U will be brought to the hardware test mode. Test away till u r satisfied that all is working nicely.

I did that in the Mi Store, but before paying, I first made sure with the store associates that even if 1 pixel is dead, or anything else not working fine would entitle me to an instant 1-on-1 exchange for a perfectly working unit. They said yes, and my bodycam recorded it all as proof of what they said (yes I am a cautious bugger). I then paid and got the receipt, the store associate opened the box and we tested the hardware, step by step. Everything worked fine and we parted ways happily smile.gif

Oops...forgot to say that I did not test the GPS at the store, because I rarely use that feature on a phone.

Nobody is stopping you from using normal screen protector. However, for more comprehensive protection, people choose to use tempered glass. Soling halo effect is pretty simple. Select screen protector that doesn't cover the curved ares or use filler gel to remove halo effect. Halo effect is a area where it's filled with air due to tempered glass unable to stick on the surface of the phone due to the phone's screen is curved.

there are 2 type of tempered glass protector rite?

1 is like with casing (i think is full cover), another type is like the traditional stick on piece.

for both full n non full tempered glass, how does it stick to your phone?
it has own adhesive? does the adhesive leave any mark after long time biggrin.gif
the full cover does it encase the phone much like the free TPU case?
