If you don't mind expensive casing RM170-180. I'm using ori Spigen Slim Armor View. Full protection from front to back with S-View. Superb quality, drop once from waist height, no issue. Non-bulky and cool looking.

Really like S-View for phone calls, save screen power (since it display on a small view) and your face oil won't dirty the screen when taking call.

For slim iphone look alike without front cover but with good drop protection, spigen neo hybrid is the one you should go for.

Haiz, Note 3 coming out with only RM2399....additional RM200+ only vs our LTE, get bigger screen, 3gb ram vs S4 2GB and Snapdragon 800 vs our 600.

Expected their pricing to be RM2499 based on our LTE avg RM2299 pricing but then Note 3 is always only RM100 more based on track record. Much worth it to get vs S4, if you like the size.

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...

Quite satisfied with it actually. The high res and very clear screen combined with excellent speed is more than enuf for me tho when I write notes, its a bit slow (S-Pen would be better option here).

Nowadays, I did not play anymore HD games on phone anymore, so just browsing, note taking, scheduling (s-plan, evernote, etc) and phone calls. Move all my gaming to ipad games instead. Better games platform for stability and choice vs android.

No regret getting S4 LTE tho except the pricing, nice weight, adequate screen screen, balanced all around phone. Note 3 better in all but the weight and carrying size in pocket a bit too bulky and heavy to carry long time. Also gua punya casing still go cool factor and nano screen HELP a lot in satisfaction level. Only a bit weak on my eyesight nowadays.

Shoot....wonder should I update my ipad????

Maybe not very happy coz girl still need to buy. BUY for a girl, make her happy, get very happy ending at night...

The Move to SD Card in our app info really does mean the external SD Card. There was one time, my S4 slowed. So rebooted.

First time reboot, all apps icon that were partially moved to SD, dimmed with SD Card appear in front of them. After SD was scanned, all the apps appeared. Based on my experience with S2 before ICS, this is the symptom of usage of ext SD storage.

So it seems 16GB S4 storage is not that handicapped after all.

He wants to make sure it is not a fake china made ones.

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.

That's why I mentioned if one not sure which one to get, undecided person that can go either way.

I'm ok with the faux leather. The frontal look still looks as boring as the rest, so no comment there. Faux leather once scratch tho, is very obvious and ugly so casing is a necessity now. Unfortunately using S-view or full cover casing on the Note 3 usually makes it looks way bigger than its already large size (to make phone calls). Most of my friends using Note 2 with rear or no cover to minimize the size increase.

Itu free gear only got 100 unit lar...so only some lucky ******* will get it.

Anyway, you get any android phone also price will drop like shit....except ipong. Just has to bear with it if you want high end android phone. I only surprise becoz the price is so near the S4 LTE version even now.

Given 3 months after release, its price will be even lower than what S4 LTE was at the same period. S4 LTE was RM2170++ after 3 months. What do you think Note 3 price will be like since the market value now is RM2199? CNY period of course will jumped back up.

Now the metal ipong also comes with a plastic version....where's the plastic bashers liao....suddenly all disappear on all android sites..hehe.

Same everywhere.....last time Vios driver bashing older City ikan kembung look.....then Vios comes out with dugong look...all bashers hantuk kepala..

So never say someone's kid look like a pig....you might never know when your wife/future wife give birth to.....oink oink...

The metal thingy rumour has been there for ages. It was also rumoured Note 3 will get metal body, so I give up on those rumours liao. I will be aiming for Note 4 instead coz my eyesight giving way liao...

I want, I want if free. My S2 almost 2 years liao, my wife only start using.

Has to be misquoted pricing for Apple products in Lazada. Based on past, Apple always price the latest flagship with the previous flagship pricing. Thus 5S should be between 2K to 3K at most.

5C should be priced where 4S are priced when 5 appear.

Ya, since you cannot go back till end of this year..

It usually takes me 2-3 hours plus for a full charge. Since you've already change charger and cable, I would suggest taking it to Samsung SC for testing.

All authentic SGP cases can be used with SGP Glas series perfectly. I'm using Nano with Slim Armor View. 0.4 or 0.15, SGP original high end cases has gap allowance built in for that.

Get an original charger lar. Note 2 and S4 uses 2A fast charging. I got 2 charger, 1 at office and 1 at home. Bought the extra original charger for peace of mind (don't want to explode when leave overnight charge sometimes).

No point charge here and there, not sure what is the problem. If after use original charger still got problem, then can go SC to confirm.
