Different category but do look at A9 Pro.

Oh ya never thought of that.

just have a conversation with samsung malaysia, those who bought from courts will need to bring whole box set and return to courts malaysia with proof of purchase.
and they also mention will provide foc screen protector too.. lol
maybe you guys can call samsung malaysia and confirm this as well ?

Awesome batt, but due to the category of the phone, cant really consider it...sure end up dissatisfied: P

But yeah its an affordable alternative nevertheless, use it till 4k vr phones come out??

In SME FB comment section. See attached.



Anyway, I may want to consider buying Samsung Ori case to suit the ori TG

yes, but they never said it was due to contaminant in the battery... or the controller board that is in the battery.

Veli expensive ler...

Just talked to Samsung Careline.
For those who already sent in their phone with box to sc and have yet to get an new replacement unit before the recall announcement, we are require to go to sc and collect the new replacement unit from 29th Sept onwards.

I sent in mine on 25th August. that's mean I'm gonna be note7-less for a whole month... haha

Some update from samsung live chat...

1) Warranty of new unit (replacement) will start from the date of new unit collection, and from the date of old unit. Which is good news. So basically we get extra 1.5 month warranty.

2) Screen protection issue for those already purchased earlier is KIV, further announcement will be made later on this.

I called samsung this morning.
Was informed that for purchase from telcos need to get replacement from telcos.
I will contact Maxis then...

I am from Note 3,4, and will definitely continue using N7. Totally it is different feel and quality.
I skipped Note 5 because of missing MicroSD slot.

N7 especially, the size is just nice onto my hand. Honestly, this is best Samsung I ever used.
No plan to jump to other phones although it has some bug here and there. Satisfy with the recall + compensation, plus the freebies was worth for money. This is just my personal opinion and feel.

Yup. totally agree with you.

I will hold on to note 7 and wait replacement, not charging to LG don't really like the design. For safety and avoid any shock surprise just turn off the phone good enuf. Don't scare ppl with 'switch off' time bomb la..

Those bought from telco(s), please allow them some time to figure this out. There should some process communication that will happen between SME and Telco in coming days. Yesterday news released, today certain people jumping and calling telcos and ask for update. I knew their reply would be "Refer to Samsung". It is still too early lah... still got 2weeks plus. Allow them some space.

on a side note (pun unintended)...

this recall and the compensation... scalpers would have sold the sets. but those who did not... extra benefit when selling... can now say it's 2 years warranty.

agree as well.. hopefully with better QC, the new phone will have less problems and work even better.

do you think samsung will sell at RM3099 when they launch it?

Nothing is impossible. May or May not. I feel the price will remain same fixed at RM3199.
If you wait 1year, you can get RM2099 from DirectD or SatuGadget. Kidding bro.

those bought fr court received via courier. so which court got stock for replacement? those stay far away will hv trouble for replacement. Freebies like the power bank need return?

additional advice based on the videos posted by forummers:
1. as mentioned before, for those that are totally paranoid, keep your note7 that is not being used in a metal box to contain any fire/explosion. Or else, find out if you can return to the SC earlier

2. for those that are currently using the phone, my personal advice is not to charge the phone to max, maybe stop at 90%, the video noted that the worst case for the phone is overcharging which can cause dramatic effects even when comparing it to puncturing, bending or short circuiting, so best bet is to keep it undercharged slightly.
