Samsung should rebrand Note 7 as Note 7 Plus and use faster processor such as SD821 and bigger 6GB RAM. Should use bigger battery capacity like 5000ah with slightly thicker body.

QUOTE(MrLoo @ Oct 11 2016, 09:45 AM) Refund but freebies no need to return right?  QUOTE(jacky91 @ Oct 11 2016, 09:49 AM) according to the CS i contacted just now, he said need to give back freebies, but then the CS ytd said no need no point contacting them now.nothing is for sure now, since SME still haven't release any official statement. MY's website not updated yet. local team need to formulate a plan first -- and address all these issues like freebies, telco contracts, etc... it might take a few days before they have this plan in place and hopefully, communicated to their partners properly (unlike the last time). whatever info they provide now, i am very sure is based on first recall. that one... circumstances is different. the best they can probably do is advise ppl to power down the phone. |

QUOTE(Sugasugar @ Oct 11 2016, 09:49 AM) My only list of potential replacement phones are I sold my S7edge back then at 2.2k. Still ok consider i bought it preorder at only 2479.20. I think i might switch to the fruit world this time, the only phone that goes head to head with Note7. Anyway, Note 7 is still my favourite phone especially the black onyx.- Note5 (because of the s-pen) - S7egde (the nearest to note7 as of specs) - Ip7+ (resale value) Although I don't really prefer iphones (last iphone was ip4) but I need a phone that have high resale value because I still love note series and I would wait for Note8 next year.. So I need a phone that I can sell with good price to change to Note8.. I doubt S7edge will have high resale value next year??.. although i would love to change to s7edge because the specs are mostly the same.. |

This refund process will definitely cause a mess. Imagine those who just bought from garage sales and so on.

Imagine those who just bought from garage sales and so on. from Samsung point of view... not an issue for them. warranty T&C usually covers first purchaser. usually cannot transfer. usually, i think seller will try to help with the process. |

This time ,all SC should be the processing point for all returns and refunds regardless where it was purchased from. The last exercise with their partners (Yes, Courts, Senheng, Maxis etc) was a mess with loads of confusion and differing instructions. Also, please look at compensation for accessories purchased which comes up to a tidy amount for every owner.

QUOTE(Sugasugar @ Oct 11 2016, 09:49 AM) My only list of potential replacement phones are i suppose it makes sense given your circumstances. for me, not concerned over resale value and never liked ios, so excluding ip7 is a no brainer.- Note5 (because of the s-pen) - S7egde (the nearest to note7 as of specs) - Ip7+ (resale value) Although I don't really prefer iphones (last iphone was ip4) but I need a phone that have high resale value because I still love note series and I would wait for Note8 next year.. So I need a phone that I can sell with good price to change to Note8.. I doubt S7edge will have high resale value next year??.. although i would love to change to s7edge because the specs are mostly the same.. but if resale value is your concern, why not consider pick up a 2nd hand note5, another 10mths or so wait probably won't cause the price to fall much further. in absolute (not % terms) you might even lose less than an ip7+ |

Yes Note7 is still my favourite even after all this chaos.. but yeah I'm just afraid S7edge will drop in resale value next year.. I think for this year s7edge value is still high.. next year might drop since S8 is coming out.. yeah I might change to the other side for a bit..  |

FAA reiterates warning that no Galaxy Note 7 phones may be turned on or charged in flight http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/10/1323832...-faa-flight-ban |

nooooooooooooo my perfect phone!
now i'll just sit tight and wait for SME/telco how they plan to do the refund for telco contract sets. i came from s7e so i don't want to swap for s7e cos for sure they'll treat s7e (3099) as same value as note 7 (3199) when it's obviously not in the real market. |
