Guys, is there any big problem with S4 that cause the sudden price drop? Was looking to buy Note 2 for my wife and noticed that can already get S4 if add another RM150 or so.

For the S4 3G, I suppose a sudden drop in demand due to availability of the LTE model. And furthermore, Samsung lost USD20b in share value over the last month or so due to lower forecasted sales vs "analyst expectations".

On top of that, there's credible competition from the Sony XZ and HTC 1.

All that being said, Note 2 is in a different category of device geared towards productivity. If you don't use the S-pen at all, then take the S4. Note 2 battery life still tops anything below 3500mAh in battery size, meaning EVERY PHONE except for the Huawei Ascend Mate.

Ah thanks a lot for the info smile.gif . Battery life is quite important for me cause currently my wife is using S2 and sometimes even before she gets back from work the phone already ran out of juice and its my heads that rolled cause my wife will say "why you dont charge for me last night" doh.gif . At least my old trusty E71 can last 2 days, she rejected the idea of swapping phone with me though laugh.gif

Actually I do expect price drop, but not as fast as 2 months blush.gif . Last time when I was crazy about phones it still takes around 6 months for price drop, guess I'd been out of touch with handphones news for quite some time. I'm still using E71 dammit tongue.gif .

Edit : And thanks a lot guys on the info, for someone who hasnt been updating on hp news this is all very useful info for me biggrin.gif .
