Are we guaranteed to get the discounted price if we purchase the phone through Lazada on 27th?

Should be yes. Normally this RM100-200 off early bird discount is not limited to single or double digits of units only.

But again, my biggest concern is whether you can fight with all those scalpers with botting scripts.

Another risk is Xiaomi have the bad history of over committed their units to the point they can’t fulfil every order. So let’s pray they did it better this time round.

Yesterday midnight X3 pro at Shopee sold over 2k+ units within 10 minutes

Then I shall start buying at 12.01 am on 27th. biggrin.gif

Am in dilemma of poco f3 , redmi note 10 pro and samsung a52.

Not sure which is better, and I am not a gamer though.

I am like you, contemplating between F3 and A52.

Since the currently A52 is without the 5G support, I've decided to go with F3.

The ram doesn't really matter that much because 6gb is more than enough for gaming and multitasking. The huge performance upgrade would be going from the RN8's midrange SD 665 and Adreno 610 gpu to the flagship level SD 870 (aka SD 865++) and Adreno 650 GPU. The F3 will be more than able to handle all games that's currently available, genshin impact/mobile legends/pubg/codm

Imagine I am upgrading from the 1st generation Nokia 6 with the Snapdragon 430 chipset.

you mean x3 pro? I think it makes sense that it got more attention because this phone is a much better buy/upgrade for a budget flagship coming from an older phone like last years x3 nfc. Here are the things is has over the x3 pro:

- snapdragon 870 (a bit more performance + 5G) over the 860 on the x3 pro
- amoled 120hz vs 120hz lcd
- lighter, less bulky and more sleeker/beautiful design (subjective), the x3 pro has the same design & size from the x3 nfc just different colors)

but it also has its own downsides:

- smaller battery, 4520 mAh vs 5120 mAh
- no sd card slot
- no headphone jack
*
They will include a 3.5" dongle for the headphone jack right?

Nice. For those still on the fence, can order first at 12am and decide later in the afternoon whether to complete the deal or not.  tongue.gif

oh i see. But since the early bird pricing is a global marketing plan by Xiaomi i assume they'd have to adhere to it? Maybe we can get some clarification from Lazada.

To be safe, I'll purchase it right away at 12.00 am to avoid disappointment.

I was wondering if retail phone shops are selling the F3 tempered glass?

I would prefer expert install as I am quite bad in putting these things on.

As long as you add to cart at 12:00.01 am sharp, 100% you can get to secure a unit.

They put it 1 Apr as the date when the stock will be available to be shipped out, because its a preorder. Then it will take another 1 week to reach our doorstep
