Zitron is authorized retailer if not mistaken. Check 1st post.

depends on the configuration. different wavelength settings for different countries: hence the signal reception issue

is there such thing as a shop getting their phone directly from sony and not the distributor (thorus/midland/dynamic) ?
i've checked the imei number of the phone and the imei number at the box. Its the same. however, there is no distributor sticker. The shop claimed that they get the stock directly from sony centre. Is that possible? thank you

So AP set doesn't mean they refurbished the phone and sell it again? AP means imported?

so can I just buy AP set from DirectD? it's save?

Yes
Yes. It is save. Only worry about warranty, if you don't need that then you also save.

i bought one z3 ... not from brightstar ... so warranty cannot go to sony center right ? bought online ...

ya i go to sony center ... will already confirm mine is ap set >< .... but the seller charge me original retail sony price ! they refuse to help me claim their so call "own shop warranty" ... aiks ...

Hi guys,

I'm planning to buy the lumia 640xl from directd and before that I need some clarification from lowyat sifu😀

1. As claimed from their website they are selling original set with Nokia warranty. I have personally emailed them and gt a reply that I can claim the warranty from any nokia service centre. I'm not doubting them I just want to be sure.

2. If what they are selling is original set with official warranty, is there any way for me to check on the spot? As in calling zitron or avaxx for the imei validity?

3. Why is the price cheaper if it comes with original warranty than nokia or Microsoft store is charging?

Thats all my question any experience sifu please help 😁😁

Bad experience ... brought it from Sony (PC image) they selling AP set claimed is Original set! Beware.
Already confirm mine is AP set from Sony Service center, Damansara...

AP set is imitation, which always freez and crash after few months. Ori set is original ...small difference in price. Never buy AP set it is cheap chinese imitation brought from china sometimes sold by the kilo rather than by unit.

There is no such thing call AP is imitation

Original is direct from its distributor like Sony - brightstar , Apple - Mechines

AP is from its own seller that issue you the warranty like direct D and satu gadget

Samsung distributor is who?

BBS, KTS.

Consider to buy note 5, however contemplated which to buy; from lazada or samsung authorized distributor. price difference is significant. rm2299 vs. rm2699 (+rm400).

was told by samsung sales staff that lazada one is AP set, thus they don't accept if for service / warranty. whereas I'm looking to use the phone for 3 years min. Seek opinion, it is really worth to go for AP set? any experience differentiate both two?

Your good advise please.

Show me the link and I shall guide thee to the correct path!

RM400 divide by 3 years, it's only RM133 per year, around RM12 per month. Why not? AP set is dangerous as you don't know where it came from and for warranty purpose it's gonna be killing you off.

Btw I wouldn't suggest you to get Samsung though. Personal and friends around me had suffered some bad experience with Samsung phones. Look for alternative if you have any.

Tq Belphegor for the feedback! i see, I'm into its s pen feature, which don't offer in other phone. u get my attention on the experience part. any particular issue that i should be aware off? probably more reason to buy with authorised dealer then...

If you prefer to have a hassle free after sales especially on the warranty part, then my advice to you is to buy from an authorized retail store. Let me know if you really planning on purchasing one, perhaps I can hook you up.

What happens to fmg?

Miss that 18 months warranty.

authorised retailer then

if got special offer, can consider

Yeah, do have some better offers as my company is authorized dealer from Samsung. Take stocks from authorized distributor. Let me know which model, storage and color you want, I try check for you.

we should get original right?
