Hey guys, been a silent reader.

Decided to give Torras Q3 Air a try.

Ordered from Shopee torras which has shopeemall tag, is this legit though? The packaging and box came in mandarin letters.

I have attached an image of it… not sure if I want to return it or whether can return or not…

For anyone using torras q3, does the camera button work for zooming?

Been eyeing at the Torras Ostand Q3 Air for a while (it keep appearing on my feed), might get 1 soon once my love for techwoven dies off lol

Damn, collected my 17 Pro at Maxis but got minor defect at the glass, Maxis is not gonna be responsible for it. Dunno what to do now... Straight go Apple Store at TRX?
*
I got the 15 PM from maxis last time and it has scratches at the bottom, went to apple CS online ..all the way to their highest level manager, countless calls and emails...finally he say he would love to replace for me but maxis is third party so they couldn't, he hinted that if buy from authorized reseller its an easy exchange, just an email and its done....the scratches were obvious and bad too, so I pledged not to buy from maxis/telco anymore...

How's the defect? Can share pics?

My bro faced the same problem, has a very minor cosmetic defect on the body (actually you won’t see it if you don’t look closely). We asked for replacement unit, Maxis said can but they will have to first return the device to their HQ and join the waiting list again (in a month). They claimed they can’t give us another replacement unit on the spot as all customer are linked to the IMEI of the phone. This is Maxis in TRX.

We asked about the warranty by Apple, Apple Store apparently doesn’t cover very minor cosmetic defect. So, the only way is to return to Maxis and they’ll issue us another unit, but have to wait… (we took the unit in the end).
*
At least they let you change, most maxis outlet will say no.

I opened on the spot at Maxis Sunway Pyramid, complained on the spot. All the staffs here have 0 manners, talk nicely to them, they bring you for a ride. Only the manager have manners.
I like what the assistant manager said to me when I'm asking him questions, "this is my branch, what i say goes"
*
If you have someone with you to record the scenario then it won't be the same, they see camera they talk to you nicely lol

So you prefer the techwoven or torras better?

Also do you think the torras is much bulkier than techwoven when hold it on hand? Coz the air design seems to make the case alot bigger..

So two weeks into using the new toys, what do you guys think? Do you guys really see the improvements in the battery life and camera, especially if you’re coming from the 16 Pro series?
*
Honestly, they are the same...same same but not same if you get what I mean..lol

QUOTE(Lon3Rang3r00 @ Oct 2 2025, 10:41 AM)
Still waiting for 17PM, but i'm coming from 12PM rclxms.gif , I'll try and ask Switch on the day of collection that i made up my mind and plan to change to Pro instead, if they have stock on I'll just change over. I'm still dilemma between Pro and Pro max. I also used Xiaomi 15 Ultra, so thinking of carry two big boys.... errr.
*
Im also thinking of trying the pro, carrying pro max and s25 ultra seems abit hefty on the hand...and since iphone is my secondary phone, the smaller battery on pro is not an issue...also they boosted up the battery on 17 pro from 16 pro...alot of green light for me to try out the smaller one this year..

QUOTE(TongCN @ Oct 2 2025, 10:53 AM)
Save that RM500 for other things and go for PRO Non-Max  cool2.gif

Carrying S23FE and iPhone 17 Pro now

S23FE for game, stream, phone call
i17Pro for bank related, photo/videography, apple wallet, phone call, email etc
*
Yes this is exactly me. Android to handle heavy stuffs, iPhone for light banking and photography...hence having the pro as second phone is quite ideal..

U mean this?

I tried turning the kickstand whilst putting my finger on the round attachment, it doesn’t move when i move the kickstand though.. so not sure if this is what u meant?

Its my day 2 using this case, so far so good, no scratches.. although i am worried that constant taking the phone in and out of cases will cause scratches haha.
*
Love the torras case..will be getting the Q3 Air soon.. Just use it without worrying much, the casing will eventually have marks and scratches after wear and tear..most importantly it protects the phone, not protect the case..

I usually start using naked 2-3 months into the ownership. Every phone without fail. And i change my phone yearly since iPhone 4. And yes, I’ve been stalking this subforum since then quietly. It is not until yesterday that i started posting! So god of cases, fruitie’s poison and you….. and the rest who aren’t mentioned. I know you all but you guys don’t know me  laugh.gif
Haha cool, yeah poison here is too strong...

So what triggered you to start posting here after so long being silent biggrin.gif

QUOTE(tty71 @ Oct 2 2025, 11:51 AM)
Used pro on 11 and 12, changed to pro max from 13-16 due to better battery life compared to pro. Since this year’s pro battery size increased quite significantly compared to last year, and I’m also tired of big phone after all these years, so decided to change back to pro.
*
My hands itchy on the pro's size, might really switch to one soon...still dilemma..

If battery life is your main concern, this year is the best timing to switch. After using 17 pro for 2 weeks, the battery life is on par with 16 pro max for my usage pattern, not regretting a bit on switching back to pro.
*
Yea I think pro is good especially battery is not a concern due to 2nd phone..

QUOTE(direct707 @ Oct 2 2025, 01:52 PM)
Talk about idea 2nd phone, I would say Apple 17 Air is prefer. Thin, light, perfect size as 2nd phone.

I upgraded from 16PM to 17PM while my wife from 15PM to 17Air, I would say if you guys have 2 phones to carry, 17 Air is definitely the best 2nd phone we can ever have due to its slimness as well as the light weight.

I carry my IP16PM and 17PM in a pocket, my pant gonna be unbalance. Thinking to trade my 16PM to 17Air as secondary phone.
*
Air is out of the list coz I felt air is meant for people who go naked without casings, if gonna slap a casing then it defeat the purpose of using the air…pro on the other hand is good, best spec, smaller, good battery too…

If you have no issues with the size of your current PM never swap like ever. You will regret 1000%  brows.gif  icon_idea.gif

I also want to switch to 17 PM now after seeing the screen on my 17 Pro  cool2.gif

QUOTE(shockk @ Oct 5 2025, 02:10 PM)
Pro’s feel in hand definitely superb, especially one-handed use and when making calls with phone on ear. But heavy users can’t stand the reduced battery life though, so Pro Max is the only way to go. 🫠😌
*
Hmmm I've been using the pro max for years and the size is ok, but now I also carry a s25 ultra all the time so 2 big phones making it hefty for my hands...and im only using the 17 PM like 30% of the time so the smaller battery definitely works for me, the pro's size also fit perfectly for the palm....the only dilemma now is the scary thoughts of having to switch back eventually, which happened before..

P/s: I also felt the smaller 17 pro is sweeter to the eyes not just the hands, especially the smaller plateau area makes it symetrically more appropriate...just personal opinion biggrin.gif

As above. Ok ok, approve for u to change. Tell ur friend buyer’s remorse 7 days no question ask for both sides. If he/she not willing, cut ties with this “friend”. 😉
*
Haha I actually like the 7 days buyer remorse agreement biggrin.gif

But i prefer to do it or not to do at all, if given a choice to reverse, I'd probably do it lol

Another factor is the 4 casing i bought for the pro max needs a swap to pro too (yes I just bought the torras Q3 air haha)

How's the damage? Share some pics..

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 6 2025, 01:03 PM)
Oh, something happened during the teambuilding. I fell off a scooter ride and hurt my elbow and the back of my head but I'm OK. Luckily for me, I put the phone in a waterproof case (I was supposed to go on a water activity), otherwise, my phone would have been fully scratched, as I usually put it in my pocket. With this fall, my phone would have flown out of my pocket. Lucky. sweat.gif
*
Glad you are alright..and also phone is alright lol...techwoven can't withstand any drop at all, i mean the casing..if you jatuh without waterproof protector confirm the case scratches everywhere..

QUOTE(dreamthief @ Oct 6 2025, 01:35 PM)
Hope u are fine...

Besides... U managed to fend off all product recommendations brutally and affirmative stance... Sigh 😔
For outdoor stuff... I do tend to switch to a more rugged case for protection (16pm was on phone rebel)... This year going for Torras q3 air since so popular here...but not for everyday use.
*
But the torras q3 air need to be careful with inside metal....need to put film

Yea this year change design and colour so bold all of a sudden, double smack haha…

I’m seeing more silver around me (friends) and it’s really growing well on me….mainly coz silver can match with a lot of casings especially clear case….to me, orange doesn’t work well with clear case coz it make the phone look plasticky…silver on the other hand looks so good on clear case…
