Hi everyone,

I have never tried buying phone in an online platform...
Is it lazada a reliable site to buy phone online?

and second question, is there a difference between original, AP and International set?
I am not sure if this is even a legit question.. havent bought a phone for a long time. do i need to consider this when buying smarphones nowadays?

I wouldn't buy international set. I worry about SIM compatibility.

Lazada is only an online shopping mall. (E-commerce platform)

You probably don't get your stuff if you get con by strangers in a normal shopping mall right?

So make sure you buy your stuff from reliable seller.



To further explain 2nd sentence above:

Scenario 1
- If you go Mid Valley & met with stranger.
- Stranger cheat your money & you didn't get your stuff.
- Will you frame Mid Valley cheated your money?

Scenario 2
- An office located in Mid Valley office tower.
- You being lured & cheated money of hundred thousands by conman.
- Will you frame Mid Valley cheated your money?

Told you what, there's conman lurking in Lazada, Shopee, etc. Just choose from reputable sellers in Lazada or Lazmall official stores.

Read the given review, observe the rating and seller's store profile.

i would advise you to shop on Shopee.com as they have far better customer guarantees in the event something goes wrong.
switched over to primarily shopping on shopee as apposed to lazada as the overall experience is substantially better.

in terms of the international vs original vs AP set, that will have to depend on the phone itself.
some phones have the ability to function properly and receive the proper frequency signals even if they are not made for Malaysia (my previous Xiaomi phone was an imported Chinese set, worked perfectly).

Actually, threads like this have been posted. Perhaps you can search it using the keyword 'Lazada' in this forum section.
