Customer service isn't comparable because of the small family of products and physical presence of stores, to me they're only good for the technically illterates that go "HALP my phone is stuck on the homescreen!"
Perhaps someone can chime in about Windows phone and their customer service experience at microsoft stores...probably not that far off from applecare |
Not really I go to the apple store other things and have always gotten help (IE getting free nano sim when I lost my during my trip back to Asia). The guy at apple just handed me one for free which would cause me $10 if I went to my carrier to purchase it. I brought my ipaid air in because I notice the screen doing something weird. Apple exchange it for a new one on the spot on question ask and I didn't even have apple care on my ipad.
Sure you can get a 1+1 for a fraction of the cost but when there is an issue with it all you can really do is RMA to a company oversea who may or may not fix it for you. Also getting help is mostly done through online so you aren't getting the best customer service.
I had an oppo find 7a and yes the phone is cheap with good specs but don't expect any after support. If I have any issue it is mostly the tech community , oppo fourms or google search to help me fix my issue. Contacting oppo support I never got an answer back.
