BadCash Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I want to buy an S5 and had a look in a Samsung store, power buy and jaymart but they all tell me "old model, Thailand no have. Only S7." Anyone know where I can buy a new and guaranteed genuine S5?? They're still available in Sweden, so it seems very strange that they are too old for Thailand...

Don Mega Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) 2 models old and 2.5 years since release, does not surprise me it is no longer available. Maybe buy one from Sweden. Edited November 12, 2016 by Don Mega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Maybe you are lucky. I bought an S5 and shortly after the warranty expired, the mainboard died. Samsung wanted 7,000 baht to replace it. A shop in TukCom Pattaya told me it wasn't worth repairing. It was a bit strange that a friend of mine with an S5 also had the mainboard die. He bought an S7. I just ordered a Xiaomi Mi5 3GB RAM 32GB . This phone was considerably cheaper than an S7. I hope the Xiaomi is better than a Lenovo that I had.

canthai55 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Ah yes - the old 'outdated model' scenario. Happens more and more. Upgraded my Toshiba laptop to Win 10. Seems they do not have a driver compatable with win 10 for WiFi. Had to buy a NetGear adaptor. BS - but what U gonna do !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of buying one too...but then: "Xiaomi Can Silently Install Any App On your Device" http://thehackernews.com/2016/09/xiaomi-android-backdoor.html and http://thehackernews.com/2015/09/android-smartphone-malware.html Sigh......

I did read the article before ordering this phone. I decided that xiaomi would be suicidal to allow malware to install on their phones. After I did some more research, I couldn't find any instances or problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yes, but this new one is worrisome, with regards to this BLU company. http://www.phonearena.com/news/N.Y.-Times-Back-door-in-certain-Android-phones-sends-data-to-Chinese-servers_id87822 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevc Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 MBK still sell new around 8 to 9 000 baht lots of shops. If you buy have a play first and download 'genuine galaxy app' from gooleplay.Sent from my SM-P901 using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
