Why the ppl here so sohai one?

Samsung make mistakes and the have commented on the FB on the error.

Seriously you already got your preorder + 15% + 64gb card, what else you want? Still want to cheat your way and confuse the outlet/retailer during collection?

Seriously pls buzz off from this section! Diu

Haha talk crap here okay la. But those keep pestering the poor people handling the Samsung Facebook page should have their preorders cancelled tongue.gif

I was considering getting dbrand but I ended up ordering a case. Have you tried other phones with skins before?

Am I the only one not planning to get a screen protector? lol

QUOTE(jerryhean @ Mar 9 2016, 12:34 PM)
With 1 week to go before getting the phone, need to get the case and glass/ screen protector fast, any lobang? Lelong got limited option, qoo10 SG got more options like Spigen. But prefer to get locally... Don't think going to unbox before getting the case. Samsung's cases not bad not sure how much...
*
There's a guy in trade zone doing a bulk for spigen cases. He's ordering tomorrow. Doubt it'll arrive by the 17th, though.

Planning to get this :
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A7ID...42350011&sr=8-1

If other people want order from same supplier better i think.

Not sure about amazon but for ebay (spigen's official one), ordering about 5 cases would be optimal. After that it doesn't get much cheaper and you don't have to go through the hassle of sending a bunch of cases to a bunch of people.

Units ordered - Price/case+shipping (USD)*
1 - 30.24
2 - 28.12
3 - 24.41
4 - 22.55
5 - 21.44
6 - 22.53
7 - 21.74
8 - 21.15
9 - 22.91
10 - 22.32

*calculated with 17 USD cases

i think the clear view version is better because the led flip cover do not show much details, it is only OK for display time.

Wah, that's quite sexy.

All my phones are black, this time going with different color, silver titanium. Hope I can get use to it, hahaha.
Or anyone feel like swapping, can consider smile.gif

Swap back to black? haha

I got a black one, but if I'm gonna use a case anyway it seems silver/gold would be nicer ...

So far for me, no Android phone can match the insane battery life on my Mate 8. I could easily hit 9-10 hours SOT on mainly LTE on 80+% internet based stuffs. Though its battery capacity 4000 mAh is only about 23-33% bigger than most other Androids, its battery usage is close to double. And best of all the phone remains cool under intensive usage.

I brought this phone with me to Taipei recently and on wifi 24/7 , the battery only dip 4% over 3 days of standby. In the background, I still receive mail, newsfeed, tweeter, whatsapp notifications. I only started to use the phone on the 4th day. I was using the LG V10 as my main phone most of the time due to its superb camera ( best amongst all the Android phones I had ever used

I am looking forward to assess how the S7 Edge will fare against the LG V10 and Mate 8

Is simply my " expensive" hobby
For phablets, on hand now I have LG v10, Nexus 6P - rare 128 GB ( will sell off soon), Mate 8, Lumia 950XL and iPhone 6s Plus ( 64gb)
Main daily driver is LG V10 and Mate 8 at late evening/night time. At times I do use the Mate 8 as main phone too. Both Lumia and iPhone are rarely used , bought just to keep up with the OS developments only. Tablets wise - ipad mini 3 ( hardly used too) and Huawei P8Max - the P8Max I used as a mini tablet and much prefer it over the ipad mini 3
The S7 edge could replace either V10 or Mate 8 ?? I bought it solely because of the big discount and will definitely sell off later for Note 6

So at the end of the day, what makes android better than iOS?

It is just too long to describe why I prefer Android over IOS
Simply IOS closed system n need to use iTunes most of time to manage files is a big turn off. Gone are the days when everyone talk about iphone smoothness. Any high end Android can match or even be better than it. I am not amazed at their so call superior app quality. Probably games ios has an edge but than I don't play games

No issues with the Android/Samsung lag? The S7 Edge would be my first Android phone.

The reason why I switched from iOS (iPhone 4) to WP was because I was extremely annoyed with the iTunes thing. The whole iTunes syncing thing pissed me off to no end. I really, really, really hated iOS back then. But I'm quite happy with my iPad since I don't do much there other than browse the internet, watch Youtube and read some books/PDFs. Guess it depends on the usage.

Not intending to turn this thread into iOS vs Android... but IMHO, the strongest advantage of Android is it runs like a computer; which unfortunately is the weakest part too if you do not know how/don't have time to manage it. Some people just don't like the idea of micro managing their phone in order to maintain the responsiveness and having good battery life.

Nowadays Android has mostly eliminate the lag issue (depending on what skin you use). I once believed iOS was the king. But then my ex-iPad Mini 2 stuttered once in a while too. So it's not entirely lag-free.
*
Haha, I have faith that we can have a level-headed Android vs iOS discussion. My method of ensuring the longevity of an iOS device is to stop updating the OS after a certain version. My iPad 3 is still on iOS 7 and it feels perfectly fine, whereas my friend's iPad 3 on a newer OS crashes quite a bit. Even my iPhone 4 on iOS 6 still doesn't lag too badly (I use it as an mp3 on the rare occasion that I go running).

Are there Android users that refrain from updating their software? My Android-using friends still give me the impression that their phones lag after some time. A lot of my friends using S6 don't seem to have a lot of nice things to say about their phone.

Ok KLCC, Sunway, Mid Valley, etc etc... am i the only one picking up in Kuantan Parade...hahaahaha...and i live in Ampang. No i dont know anyone from Kuantan...well not really.

Just sharing. What happened was, i totally forgot about the 1st preorder at 12AM after waiting so long. My friend balanja me movie first time in my life. I think i got shock until forgot. So as i came out the movie its already 1AM. Damn site was soo laggy up till 2AM and i finally got a glimpse of hope. Where i manage to reach the collection place selection box. The only place that manage to load was...u guessed it Kuantan, Pahang. I waited for many whiles. And decided to refresh the damn thing...and i tell you it was a beeetch to get back to the collection point selection field. And finallly i got back to where i left. With a selection of Kuantan Pahang, and 3 malls. Which i have no idea where it is. So i figured, why not. Feck it. Deposited.

Now i tried calling the shop owner(which wasnt easy to get his number) and asking if he could have it poslaju to me. He said it was risky. He is trying to hook me up with a friend of his. If possible. If not...im heading to Kuantan people. Why not. Cherating is allright for my new camera testing.

Peace.
