i've heard people saying that csl is the best ap company out there. But as far as i know, isnt csl a phone brand? Do they make their own phones and sell ap phones of other brands as well?

telstra still exist.. but wonder if Malaysian still import from Telstra..

Telstra is from Australia
better go for ORI instead of AP nod.gif
since the tax for smartphone is reduced.. the price is not much different + it is better to go for original..
*
Yea but some of them the price difference is bout few hundred, that's not little. But if the AP company has an excellent service record, then I don't see why not. Got so many AP companies out there, dun tell me dun even have 1 good 1? hmm.gif

Depends which brand.

I'm not sure but I think,

SE/Sony - Midlands / Thorus / Dynamics
Nokia - Zitron / Avaxx
HTC - SiS / Brightstar
Motorola - Brightstar
Blackberry - Brightstar
LG - Thorus
Samsung - SME(Samsung Malaysia Electronics) / SEP(Samsung Elite Partners)
Huawei - Not sure sorry sweat.gif

I'm not sure if there are more and someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi everyone. I wanna ask, original sets have 1 year warranty right? how come I see some sellers selling original sets with 2 years warranty? +1 year personal warranty from the seller isit?
*
Depends, some got extended ori warranty. Like SiS for HTC, then last time SEP for Samsung, SENQ/SenHeng(not really ori).....and so on.

It also might be AP warranty for 2nd year, so u have to check.

Hi.. got a question..

My bro, just bought a phone..
A Galaxy S3... at some kind of Phone Fair or smth...
The Price.. huge difference from the original (RRP 2k~)

He check a bit.. outlook buttons the same.. Screen.. smooth..
Software - ICS 4.0.3 for SGS3 and a lil bit of this and that...
He ask, why so cheap... the dealer says this is a KOREA AP SET...
So... later, he buy...

Upon arrive home.. he check and check sommore...
Realize that the Battery is Sunsang not Samsung (font's the same ~.~")
Check IMEI... there's 2 IMEI appear (i donno bout other GS3).. but the phone only have 1 Sim slot...
512RAM and 2GB internal memory...
Screen Reso is  800x480 (typical Android reso?).. GS3 is 1280 x 720, rite?
And running benchmark, the result was soo low compared to the original GS3

I check on Samsung Korea.. but I can't find the same phone spec...

Is this considered an AP phone?

*To me it's more like a FAKE phone ~.~;
*
Fake imitation.

Recently I had bought 2 Nokia phones from two different seller. One is under Zitron warranty, another is under Avaxx. I found out that there are NO Nokia Original hologram (I mean this sticker: http://i.nokia.com/image/view/-/1467192/hi...ogram-left.png) on the phone, battery and charger.

There is only the Zitron/Avaxx sticker on it(together with Sirim on the phone). Is this consider as Original Nokia?  hmm.gif
*
I think that sticker no more edi. Zitron/Avaxx/Arista and maybe Brightpoint is ori, so yes.

Our lyn forum reseller..directd

ap phone=2 year warranty
original phone= 1-2 years.

i found that most of phone difference rm100. htc one x only 50 difference.
ap= stardard package
original= more gift like car charger hdmi cable etc
any1 know got any difference? does the phone are same ,extra 50-100 charges is for extra item like HDMI or car charges.
*
Phone is same, only warranty by different company. The extra free gifts are up to the seller. If difference just RM100 like that, definately ori more worth it.

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.
*
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.

QUOTE(ego3nity @ Oct 8 2012, 10:40 AM)
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 smile.gif
*
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.

that meeans regardless of AP or ORI, both sets are same in terms of quality of the product.
it is just that the after-sale service differentiate both?
so it's okay to buy AP if one has no problem of reverting back to his/her dealer if the phone/tablet kaput?
*
Last line, what do u mean by no problem of reverting back to the dealer?

what i meant was...
if a person does not mind buying AP set with the knowledge that it has the same specs like the ori but once kaput, that person dun mind to send it back to the dealer he/she bought from for repair...

Like that then can buy.
