TQ for the link. It's selling for RM728-RM748 (depending on colour) for the 64Bb

Hi all.

Thinking of getting this phone. When comparing prices online, noticed local set vs imported sets with 1 yr seller warranty, there is difference by almost rm200. (rm 899 vs 680 for the 4G, 64GB version)

is the pricing correct? if yes, is this phone so far prone to any problems that warrants may need the rm200 coverage? i recently read on soya's review that there is a wifi issue with certain router settings, is this common problem and is this fixed yet?

thanks in advance for advice.

the imported set seller is T&L ?

saw their pricing for A3 quite cheap

shopee seller, can't remember but a few also similar price range, but all these is around rm200 difference when compared to local sets with warranty from Xiaomi Malaysia. So wondering if this phone has much problem so far. else can consider. Any good deals to recommend?

The RM 200 for local set is just for the warranty. Personally I don't need it as I consider myself to be a careful user.

I have been buying original imported sets with shop warranties for over 5 years and had no problems with any of them.

The cheapest I can find on Shopee from local sellers are this and this.

I recently bought one for RM 639 during the 10.10 sale. Bought it from this seller that I regularly buy from. The price dropped to RM 655 and I used my Shopee coins. Received it on 12 October, Saturday.

Been using it since and it is by far the best phone I have ever used in terms of features. SD 665 is more of a sidegrade than an upgrade to the Mi A2's SD 660. The screen despite the Pentile 720p is not too bad. I can deal with it since AMOLED is just better than an IPS panel.

good to know. yes, i am pretty much a careful user myself. that's why i am more interested to know if there are on-going / un-solved / design issues with this model, such as the one mentioned in this review here .

Many thanks for the seller links and recommendations btw.

How's the battery life bro? no gaming sot nice?
the screen wise i not sure, as this phone i will get it for mostly video watching, not much reading, and i think should not hurt much.

one main concern is the minimum brightness. Gsmarena review mentioned that it is eye blinding 14 nits compare to others going as low as 1-2 nits. is it true?

Battery life is very good. Max I managed to get was 9 hours SOT. Mainly used for reading, browsing, social, YT, local stored videos and around 1 hour of Waze.

I did not test gaming as I don't really play games anymore.

At first I thought the 720p screen would be bad, but after playing around with a demo set at a store I concluded its not too bad. That made me buy the phone.

Minimum brightness is dim but not too dark. Don't really have a point of comparison on this as I don't have another phone with AMOLED. Been years since I used a phone with AMOLED.

thats what i would like to hear. The 9 hour sot is great, and our phone usage is similar.

about the minimum brightness, is use it in total darkness will it be too bright? i watch movies a lot when accompanying my kids sleeping.

In total darkness its not too bright. I use MX Player with brightness at 0.

Good to hear that. I am using Mx player too
