Hi All, WTA why is the price of a mobile phone can be significantly different between Samsung Malaysia and local "well known" retail for the same model and same warranty?

For Example

Different in Price: RM 2,5xx vs 3,6xx
Warranty: 1 Year Local Manufacturer Warranty

Thank you.

I'm assuming he means sets that come from the grey market. Still original afaik, but may have been made for a different region. Cheaper and with warranty but often with the seller, and not applicable with the manufacturer.

Is it also same length of coverage? Do you know if it is indeed brand new or refurbished?
