Ap stands for approval product so usually the origin of ap phone is outside Malaysia.

Why would someone get a phone origin from Malaysia and sell it ad ap except for it's stolen, refurbish set.

When this phone is from another country it could be different in the packaging for nokia example if u buy a nokia phone from Asia pacific u usually get 3 language. If you bought an Arabian set from Dubai the keypad character could be Arabian, language could be Arabian and English only.

Maybe the charger using different voltage, additional freebie. Like some country law they don't allow radio transmission so for nokia n8 in that country it's disable but in Malaysia enable and etc.

AP is original just the origin of the phone is not locally where you are buying from.

Example if the device warranty is in germany it doesnt mean that device you can get warranty in malaysia.

AP means the device he paid tax so the device is legit just no warranty by OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTOR. The warranty might cover by AH BENG or some inexperience technician. So it at your own risk.

Since they lower the tax now original phones are quite cheap the difference in AP not much


If you are a tech savy = can consider AP
If you are non tech savy = get ORI

If price different RM1 - RM300 = straight get ori
If price different RM301 - infinity = consider AP

Its very hard to tell dude because 1st they are new 2nd most buyer have not exceed their 1st year warranty and claim their extended warranty.

Until they proven their credibility is best to go for original. Next question how long their warranty process will take? 1 day 1month 1 week 1 year? and how do u claim warranty?

Authorized distributor service centre are found all around malaysia.

they said their technician are trained? by who? by ah beng? University of repair handphones? If you want peace of mind get original for now.

They are small timer so what can you expect? How many personnel do they have? If they become big with service centre all around malaysia then worthy it.

Lastly they said warranty only but never specify what does the extended warranty covers? Maybe motherboard only we never know

They also claim if you urgent you can get back your phone tat day if they have stock? so anyone tried that service. I do not know.

Please be specify la how do yo want ppl to help you

1st Please state what phone is that.

2st whats the something wrong your friend notice? List it down

3rd No such thing as Korea AP but AP is AP they do that to cheat you.

3rd There is not refund that is call trade in? I do not recommend you to trade in because the shop takes in RM800 then he will resell about RM850 to RM900 inclusive the price your friend bought he will make about at least RM300 to RM400 from your deal.

4th In away its consider 2nd hand in a way its NOT. That is how shop make that extra money. Take low sell high.

he makes about RM380 from the deal he sold to your bro. Then resell that trade in device alittle higher so he will make at least RM450 or higher.

gratz at least u lost less. I have reported to Tribunal Pengguna before regarding maxis its really effective maxis called me personally and apologized about my issue.
