Sandisk always change their packaging. Maybe to refresh the product image...lolz
If you feel you have been cheated..bring the sdcard to Vector Digital and ask them a new one. Better still...do a sdcard test in front of them.

Got burned once, and also due to others sharing the same experience here, not gong back to Sandisk again.

can you elaborate a little on what you meant by getting burnt? spoilt or speed slow?

Phone kept showing mount and unmount sd card every minute. Put on pc also take very long time only can detect.
Most fed up is when I go claim, the fellow tell me this is very common in s4 as s4 slot is sensitive. I screw him on the spot asking why it worked for months on s4 already, but last week only start happening.

Actually if you're really concern abt price drop, get iphone 5 series....price can be maintain at a certain high level for quite some time. Of course if you can tahan 4" screen after using 5". I know I have to squint my eyes a bit when using S4 size, I don't think I can survive with a 4" screen no matter how "high res" and "beautiful" the screen is.

For any android phones esp Samsung coz they release so many phones with same range at short period, price sure drop like a rock every 1 or 2 months until it hit the bottom limit...

That's why while I feel sakit hati since I bought my phone only a month ago at RM2170, if I can wait for Note 3 for 2 months, I need only spend abt RM200+ more for a much greater phone.

However I can't wait longer and I DO KNOW price WILL DROP when they launch NOTE 3, so its expected. What I have not expect is the pricing remain at only RM2399 for such great spec increased when they had launch S4 LTE with RM2499....so much higher than Note 3 launch price....expect to be launch at RM2499 at the least.

Anyway the size of S4 and weight does matter as I carry my phone in my pants pocket most of time. The total combined time of me looking at screen is like a couple of hours a day vs the total of time I have to carry my phone around that equal over 12 hours at the least. Carrying convenience over screen time.....I selected the balanced S4 instead for now until the time come when my eyes have to squint hard to read 5"...maybe wait for next year Note 4 kuah...

Yes samsung Malaysia really screwed up their s4 price launch this time. Where possible note 3 32gb lte launch price lower than s4 lte. Many feel betrayed and will surely boycott them for good. They dug their own grave.
As for me, I will not go ip5 no matter what. The 4" screen and ios 7 design is terrible. I am just choosing the lesser of 2 evils here.
Will still use my s4 while waiting for 5" ip6

Get to KitKat team Germany. They leaked it. Flipboard has the news

But still no news of new features. Must be they trying to pump in more features to compete with ios7. Would be good they an include airdrop. Way better than nfc transfer.

Exyno 5 (4 A15 + 4 A7) Octa-core w 3.5g - i9500
Snapdragon s600 Quad-core w LTE - i9505
Google Play Edition Snapdragon s600 Quad-core w LTE - i9505G
Snapdragon s800 Quad-core w LTE-A - i9506

This is all the s4 you can get in Malaysia, do note that i9500 and i9505 is the only official set you can get in Malaysia, the rest are AP set.

i9500 - have better camera sensor(sony exmor rs) and audio chip(wolfson DAC) than i9505, less developer support and no triangle away to reset counter binaries.

i9505 - have better developer and official CM support. Have slightly better battery life than i9500.

i9505 - pure vanilla/Google experience. No bloatwares are available.

i9506 - fastest processor and fastest connection. Theres no developer support at the moment.
Go for i9500 if you like to take pictures, listen to music and so on. Doesnt mean you cant flash, you can still flash, just you will permanently void your warranty la tongue.gif btw, CM is also coming to i9500, and MIUI support this device too. Dont forget the awesome Perseus kernel thats supporting our device brows.gif

Go for i9505 if you love to flash. In this version, you could also turn it into Google Play Edition by flashing Google Edition rom. You will also get the fastest connection in this device (4G LTE)

Go for i9506 if you prefer Nexus/Vanilla experience. Right out of the box, your phone is already smooth as butter :nods:

Go for i9506 if you want the fastest processor. Do note that you wont be able to use LTE A cuz Malaysia havent launch the LTE A connection. I dont think we will be able to see it in the next 3 years hmm.gif
In the end, its all depend on you bro, goodluck :thumbsup:

Huh can't LTE-A support normal LTE?

S4 9500 16gb
s4 9505 32gb.

I would get 9505 if I were you.
it has lte , more stable compared to 9500, and its 32gb storage just a big bonus.
Well certainly the price is slightly higher.

All of my friend, I mean it all has regret for purchasing 9500. If only they waited longer.

Definitely should wait for note3 officially available. Just another 1 week to go. By that time s4 lte price will free fall.

Satu Gadget selling SME Note 3 for RM2199. Jeez, I got my S4 LTE only RM20 cheaper last month.

How come S4 LTE still remain at RM 2000+ now? If one are not sure which one to get, the RM100 difference should push it greatly to Note 3, 2.3 Snapdragon 800 plus 3GB memory plus big screen.
*
Historically, Note have been selling much higher price than Galaxy series. Now is the other way round for s4lte.
As I said, Sammy really screwed up on their pricing strategy. This is partly due to 5s threat to compete with now, whereas no competition from Apple when s4 launched. And this is going to push many loyal fans away due to feeling cheated for paying higher for s4lte while note 3 is known to be the upper class with better specs.

Yes it's funny. When Galaxy S series become more up market than Note series? I think Sammy Malaysia just don't want to admit they screw up the pricing strategy.
Let's see how long they will remain the s4 RRP price...
