I thought from above screen shot already tells us that there is no such authorised dealer as per oneplus in Malaysia? After all, the local companies and APsets will both send back the units for warranty right?
If so, units from xf comes from which country?
That's what Oneplus claimed. I don't know why they don't recognize Xianfeng as their authorised dealer. As the matter of fact, they indicated that Xianfeng is third party seller. That's why i assumed all those sole/main distributor excuses are all BS. Xianfeng is a "self-claim" authorized distributor. Just stick their Xianfeng logo on the box and voila, it's official Malaysia set. LOL (Xianfeng sticker screenshot below).
Honestly, other than that screenshot from Oneplus, I have no proof to support my above theory. But I tend to believe that Oneplus's explanation is somewhat legit due to following points:
1. Poor "official" launching. Quality near to 3gp video level.
2. Nonsense pricing gap. They did explain why. But the reason is ridiculous (screenshot of their reply was posted last week inside this thread, if you want to read it).
3. Unconfirmed stock delivery. Keep pusing sana sini on the delivery date. Tell me. What kind of main distributor that cannot confirm what exact date their stock will arrive?
As for warranty, Xianfeng has 8 service centres in Malaysia. They did mention that they also willing to repair AP sets, by imposing repair fees of course.
As for your last question, no idea at all. So far, none of us has received any units directly from Xianfeng. We need to check the package inside especially the charging brick (2 pin or 3 pin) only can tell which country it came from.
Anyway, no points to argue about their legitimacy. Authorized or not, it doesn't matter. You just need to know only 1 fact, that is, as long as you want to have Malaysia warranty, you have no choice but to buy from Xianfeng stocks. Period.
