last week bought the Samsung Pixon in Singapore during a business visit there. The price is reasonably good there at S$750 equivalent to about RM1800. What really suprise right here our local samsung distributor, FMG has exorbitantly put the price tag at RM2300++ for this model. A different about RM500 across the causeway. I did checked on SamsungInnov model there and the price is just about our price here at S$1150 which about RM2,800. Is FMG really going for killing on Samsung Pixon here?????

FMG is like that one. New models they price very high. Then realize sales are very cold and demand loosing, then they devalue the product significantly. Just see the number of concept stores they are closing. The rate is very fast. They now totally rely on distributors and resellers for the sales driving. Tells you a lot about their management and sales strategy.

At the same time, we can't compare with Singaporean goods. They could have been subsidized and tax structured differently than in Malaysia. They could have the price advantage due to this. While FMG knows they are the only company holding the brand and they know their monopoly. Thats why price competition is just not there.

FYI, the INNOV8 8GB could be bought at RM2700 as I read from this forum.

You are damned right. Thats the main reason that the first and the last time I bought the handphone from local distributor was about 12 years ago on Motorola Startac Model and I keep on using it without any defect for a good 5 years!!! Afterward for new handphone upgrading works i have a regular year end visit to Singapore.
