thank you for answer. i will take original.

Most of the time, the free gifts are just gimmicks. You pay extra for them in reality.

Just a question about ori and AP. What if the phone is AP but they put sticker of Zitron, Avexx, SME etc... and say it is ori?

this page is highly outdated, who is moderating this ? seriously you put a Nokia museum phone item as your proof? in this day of E-commerce and internet buying, you would think us consumers would know the difference between an AP set and an SME set:

I used to buy your so called "Original" set from retailers and few months later when i go to repair the phone they say they will repair it and if they cannot they will send to the manufacturer and will take 30 days or so.

what 30 days??? without my phone W..T...!!

so whats the difference?

AP set you get your warranty from the retailer only

SME set you get your warranty from the manufacturer but repair and return after 30 days? no one on one exchange on the spot! (now that is Original customer service)

ive seen the hardware of both the SME set and the so called "AP" set.. and believe it or not they are one and the same.

I bought a Galaxy Nexus AP set in June this year and guess what, it was SEALED with SAMSUNG seal and they wouldnt let me open it unless i pay for the Item first, and no way was it fake im not taking anyones word that "AP Set is a fake and most like to break within one yr or less. Your original Iphone 4S is more likely to break from a fall than the hardware on my Nexus failing.

The Malaysian public is being taken for a ride and trust me some people even call an "AP" set a fake. Have you seen the Chinese fake models? yeah the iphones with the radio pop-out antennas with Android? yeah now that is fake.

hahaha, i just laughed when reading ur msg, no offence~

cannot lah friend.. tat is cheating

Hi guys,

a straight forward question about ORI set vs AP set.

As i know up to now, these difference are:
1. the warranty where ORI warranty can be claimed to its manufacturer shop directly and AP warranty can be claimed only to the shop where u bought it.

2. battery
I heard from lot of ppl buying the AP set claim the battery life cant lost longer compare to ORI set (myth or truth)
So i was wondering myself, if both ORI and AP set comes from the same manufacturer company which process the same thing at the same time how can one say ORI set has a better quality and AP set has a lower quality? (example the battery life)

Need clarification.

Thanks

but who knows if the seller did like that, put zitron sticker on AP set. cuz there is a shop willing to sell the Nokia PureView 808 at RM1600, At first the price was RM1799. And the S3 sold in there is only Rm1600.

for samsung set, everybody saying they are selling original SME set, how to know whether it is really SME set or not?

Got sticker at the box n fon..

i encounter some seller of ap set at lowyat plaza claim that AP set ALWAYS did NOT SEALED, almost fall for that...................god

so apparently we should seek for the sealed ap set to be save?

tq.

Yea want to know this too, so AP is suppose to be sealed?

So basically u are saying that both AP and ori phones are original, except warranty. True.
But quality of service between proper company and AP company can be different. Ori maybe take longer time to fix but at least they will most likely fix it well and properly.

The seller can just cheat u and switch to a not so good battery. Doesn't matter ori or AP. So it's either u request for a sealed set or go to official retail store.

1.3k not bad, can buy. But make sure it's a real S3, cuz got some imitations lately.

All this AP and original set thing is giving me a headache.

To cut a story short, is the AP set for mobile phone covered for both SOFTWARE & HARDWARE warranty claim? As far as I know, for tablet ie. Samsung Galaxy 7.7, the AP set is only covered for software defect but not hardware defect. So if the hardware fails, that's it man.

What about mobile phones? Is AP set covered for hardware failure? If yes, I will buy AP set no questions asked. As long as the distributor can fix it under warranty claim, then that would not be an issue for me.

Depend on which ap company.. Some do cover everythg like ori..

Okay thanks. Getting AP set is quite risky, and I noticed some sellers don't carry AP set also. Guess original set is the way to go.

Depend on how u use it..
From the return claim list, ori more back to claim

anyone here encounter problems with COMSAT?

the blardy sc took more than a month without giving a exact date for their job.

every time call just say phone not done yet.
