d2g Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Xiaomi has announced the release of the Mimax 3 phone and Mipad 4 tablet in China. Based on past product releases, how soon will they be available in Thailand? Does Xiaomi have a support/sales office in Thailand? Thanks in advance for any information!

mtls2005 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 They do no localize each and every product for the Thailand market, so it's challenging to determine which models they might choose to localize, and thus you may have to wait for some sort of local launch. I wouldn't expect the tablet, but maybe the MiMax 3 is probably a candidate. You can always buy grey-market product, both here and from online retailers in other countries. Xiaomi has beefed up their direct sales and support efforts in Thailand. They have ~ seven Mi shops in various malls, primarily in the metro Bangkok area. And a shopfront on Lazada, and shelves with other phone retailers. https://www.mi.com/th/service/wheretobuy/ https://www.mi.com/th/support/repair/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2g Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks for the information, it is very helpful. I will watch for them on Lazada, hope I don't have to venture into aliexpress land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008bangkok Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well Lazada dont even have the Mi Max 2 on the official Xiaomi store, any other seller will be buying them grey market anyway so you may aswell go Aliexpress land and you will probably pay less. I have had the Mi Max 1 and 2 and they are great phones with a great battery which goes up with every new model, unfortunately they seem to be very fragile when dropped as i have had 2 Mi Max 1's and 1 Mi Max 2 and All of them didnt last the accidental drop test :( So even though I really want the 3 Im wondering how tough that will be as thats an even bigger screen.

pilou Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi all Last year I bought a 2nd hand MiMax 1 from a friend, and was so impressed that I gave it to my son ( who still uses it ) and bought the Max 2, which I still like very much. The Mi Max 3 will undoubtedly will be released soon, and I will most certainly check it out, and probably buy it... i love big phones and the Max 3 ticks all the boxes..

Pre-orders available, with slight discounts, on sites like GearBest and Ali Express. ESD is 6 - 8 weeks, so if you need a phone soon maybe not the best option? Can't see it being officially available here much before then either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Well I don't really need a new phone urgently but are thinking about selling my Samsung J7+ and get something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some usage reviews (Mi A2, not the LITE variant) ding the battery and the camera, and the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Well I looked a bit more at the Mi max3 and it's actually looking pretty good, like the monster battery. I could use that when offshore working and then the J7+ when home. Will wait for some reviews to surface first. Is there a Mi shop in Pattaya?

2008bangkok Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 These new mid range Xiaomi phones are coming in a bit pricey, A2 300+ and MI Max 3 300+ should be in the early 200's for those. Seems as the brand is picking up so are the prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with samsung j7+ ? it's cheap and good except samsung pre-installed $hitwares. Samsung A2 is available now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Well there is nothing wrong with my j7+ but I was thinking about getting one those huge maxi phones for when working off-shore and likely keep the j7 for now and use it when home in Thailand.

Samsung do not crack so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
