Singapore Galaxy S3/S3 LTE Owners thread (Reviews, Discussions n More) - Galaxy S III General

Hi guys,
The lucky ones who already got SGS3/SGS3 LTE, please share ur feedback, suggest the place where we can find better deals, etc.
from xperia PLAY

Just a little heads up that the phone is slightly curved on the outer rim around the screen so screen protector might not stick nicely around the edge due to the gap cause by the curve.

I'll be staying in Singapore for 6 months, does anyone know if I can get a good deal on this phone through a contract for 6 months (or even paying for a 1 year contract that I wont use half of)?
Would the phone then work with T-mobile when I come back?

You can go for 1 year contract with Starhub OR if u want to buy without contract go to Naranjan Mobiles at Farrer Park Road, u will find the best deal there..

Yeah, today I have used SGS3 and it was pretty cool, It wasnt as good looking as Xperias but its NOT ugly by any means..brilliant screen, smooth scrolling, no lag whatsoever..
Going to buy in couple of weeks, waiting for some price drop
I will skip Xperia this year!!!

Hi SG peeps! Just here to join the party Phones bought here in Singapore should work with any carrier in the world (of course it wont work on 4G) cus all the phones here cannot be locked to carriers according to some rules i heard awhile back. im undecided between sIII or the Nexus (yeah i know huge spec difference) but the ease of unlocking and hacking is a huge win!

Rooting the SGS3
Hmm... has anyone roots their SGS III in Singapore? I am gonna do that in the weekends^^

How's the warranty like if I buy from Naranjan or mustafa? Do they have international warranty?

The only thing I noted is the slight yellow tint.... hmm I will need another set to compare

If this was asked a week ago I would have said : At your doorstep.
But now try eBay. It won't be as cheap as it was a month ago. Try the xda marketplace too.

Arc vs Play

Guys, I won a contest from Rogers for a free Android phone, I have to choose between the Arc and Play. Which one do you guys recommend?
Choose arc and give me your x10 hehe.

if you already have the X10, then you should go for the play
wow congrats that is awesome!!
Definitely arc, play has a horrid screen and I think the novelty would wear off quickly
And don't forget that the strips that slide the keypad out wears out fast.
If you get a play you are risking some mechanical damage since the strips are the weak spots of the phone =/
+1 for the Arc =D, hopefully they already have CWM and CM7 working lol
So 3 Arc's vs 1 Play
Hmm.. well I;m still waiting for them to email me so it will be official, but thanks guys. I'm considering selling the Arc and using it to buy SGS 2

hahaha good call on that one!!
sgs2 is a freakin' powerhouse
I like the play.. the line up of games looks good.
I have not seen the screen, but i really love the controls.
I am a psp fan.. but i would rather get a psp2 for that.
I would prefer a device with the Dual Core Tegra Chipset with the play's Dual Analog Touch Pads.
So my vote is on nothing right now.
Haha, yeah I wish they were dual core, but its a FREE phone lol. So which one do you think I should get?

Nice decison... the SGS2 is a beast of a phone!
Choose between the arc and play, get whichever one is more expensive so that you can sell it for more.
If they are the same price, go with the arc. Its a beauty.

check on ebay how prices are handled for both phones so you can see which one would be more profitable for you!

I work for Att and the refurbished galaxy notes are like brand new no scratches, nothing wrong with them. It just means that someone could have returned it, exchanged it or something was wrong with it but now it's fixed. I was looking at a white one and some how it had a brand new white skin/screen protector and all the other ones did not. But hey its a good deal get it. :

Sorry, but someone looking at the note probably isn't cross shopping it against anything from Apple. This is perfect for the MAJORITY of people, like many I know, who aren't tech snobs (like me). I own the note and its a great device. This is a fantastic deal for someone who wants a great phone!
Good find OP, will pass it along to some friends.

Bye bye my fellow wildfirers (forever)

My brother bought the nexus 7 tablet and he was only using his Xperia neo for calls and hotspot.
So I suggested to switch phones since I don't have a tablet. Surprisingly, he agreed
But there's a test period to see if he can bare the lag
So right now I own a Xperia Neo, rooted it before inserting my sim card
I will still visit the wildfire section, but not so often as before...
Thanks to every one who helped me through my first experience with android journey.
Special thanks to slymobi, saadislam and elia222.
Finally, Eid Mubarak
Bye.

Epic device splurging time #cough#Nexus4#cough#
So I bought the xperia pro and gave the Neo back to my brother. Couldn't get something better as I was on a budget
Besides, I've always wanted that slide-out keyboard
My wildfire is now available for testing new roms, like CyanMobileX ROM, I am really amazed by the UI of this rom

Nexus 4 - Singapore Thread

Anyone from Singapore spotted this baby in any of the shops yet?
I know it's yet to be officially released but I remember seeing the galaxy nexus in sim lim and some random neighborhood hp shop at least 3 weeks before actual release date... plan to go scout for this this weekend to try and check out the pricing for buying off the shelves here...
I'm abit skeptical of ordering electronic eqpt online....
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
I think we'll have to wait till December or next year january. I want the nexus 4 badly but do you know what's the suggested price of it?
I want this piece also. But here in Malaysia i know price will be marked up more than 50%. Which is kinda sh*tty. Sigh. So i plan to get it in the US via playstore and somehow delivered to my mom who is currently visiting there.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Scouted still no sight of it.... will continue and update rrp for it I don't know.... if you're in Malaysia and near SG maybe we could work something out if and when it hits stores here...
Jellybeaning.....
Yeah. Oh just out of curiosity how much did it cost for gnex in Singapore when it was first launched?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Don't remember actually but now it's going for about 490 if I got it right...

Yeah. You're the lucky one. Sigh. I don't think so i could get from playstore as planned. Since it has to be bought using a US credit card. Oh well. Just have to check the price here when its launched here. Worse comes to worst at least I'll get at least a one year warranty for that kinda markup price
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
That thing is obviously going to sell for more than the GNex. Might end up going for the Xperia P if the price doesn't drop.

I'm sure it will be very expensive. If Europe is anything to go by , LG will sell it with a RRP of SG$900+ (€599 in EU, even though it's only €299 in the Play store).
I think I'll be getting mine from Aussie Play store when I'm there in December. Might order 2 and sell one if I can profit from it.

Hey guys visit this website http://www.GadgetsINSG.com/#!google-nexus-4/cmht some guy asked me if I want to reserve or not. I can't believe the nexus 4 at 8gb is going to costs S$549 while the galaxy nexus costs S$700+

Will do. Whether I buy an extra one depends on the SG price and if I leave in time to claim the Aussie GST back
Also a friend might want to order one, and I believe you can only order 2 per account.
