Part of the Best 10 Singapore Glossary › Tech & Gadgets › Warranty
When buying electronics in Singapore, the warranty type matters as much as the price. A local warranty is backed by the Singapore distributor. An international warranty (parallel import) may require sending the device overseas or offer no local coverage at all.
Local vs International Warranty
| Local Warranty | International Warranty | |
|---|---|---|
| Serviced by | Local authorised centre | May require overseas shipping |
| Repair speed | Fast — local parts available | Slow — parts may need importing |
| Price | Higher upfront | Cheaper upfront |
