Swap to S7edge is not a good deal. SME is trying to mess with us. A month back SME have this promotion - RM300 off with purchase of S7 or S7edge. Now with Note7 exchange to S7edge also refund RM300. Here is the calculation:

1. S7edge RRP : RM3099 - RM300 = RM2799
2. S7edge 1st preorder : RM3099 - 20% = RM2479
3. S7edge 2nd preorder : RM3099 - 10% = RM2789
4. S7edge online : RM2649 (lazada), RM2399 (11 Street),  RM2414 (Gemfive "TREATS12" voucher RM2639 - RM225)
5. Note 7 swap S7edge : RM2879(preorder price) - RM300 = RM2579

Also, given that S7 edge is around the market for quite some time, new S8 will launch on March 2017, it is not a good time to get S7edge now at RRP, as most of the S7edge sold in Malaysia are sold in preorder price, promotion discount, online voucher rebate, and most importantly NOT at its own RRP.

agreed, though i would have to add on info that the screen warranty will be transferred over. So that might be a tipping point for some but not for me.

s-pen is the important thing for me..

Had a big dilemma regarding this issue also. Price isn't really a good deal to us for all the hassle.
But, all the same, the truth is that there isn't really any option out there. S7e is really the ONLY choice that is similar to note 7. S8 is almost 5 - 6 mths to come. Even then, S8 would've been a second choice too as we are all here for the S-pen and had chose the note7. The whole thing is really troublesome.

Well at least it is a bad deal for me. I'm the S7edge 1st batch preorder owner before, sold off S7edge at 2.2k, then buy Note7. It is impossible for me to back to S7edge at the current price SME is offering. It is UNACCEPTABLE.

Malaysian user reports first case of Note 7 fire
http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia...-of-note-7-fire

PETALING JAYA, Oct 17 — A Malaysian user has reported what could be the first case of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fire.

Robson Ng shared his experience on Facebook yesterday.

Agree. But how can we be sure that S8 is going to be great? What if they are like S4 or S5? 

Really in a dilemma now...been thinking over and over again whether to stick with my old HTC m8 or get other new phones (S7e or OP 3)

damn...

what phone u using now?

There isn't a decent android phone that can compete with Note 7 for the time being. OP3 is damn hard to get in Malaysia. By the time Malaysia have stock, OP4 is on the way, then you will regret again. My suggestion is, migrate to the fruit world, at least you still retain the resale value even new IP come out next year.

SME treat us as a fool all along. I was considering exchange to S7e but after the latest Malaysian kaboom case and this calculation, I think better refund and buy cheaper interim phone. Wait S8 (no more preorder for me).

Just get my refund from SME IOI Mall. They straight away give me RM2879.10 cheque.

Agreed on your point about selling your old one for 2.2k and now needing to get it at higher price than 6mths ago. If it was me, yeah. Impossible to go thru with the replacement s7e price.
But I guess this is individual scenario lo, for some of us like me, I came to note7 straight away, from i5s. So, If I were to take the s7e, I guess it's still represent something as it really is the current STAND-IN flagship that they have right now.
As for jumping to fruit world? also depend on how big your wallet it, to get something of a same standard in fruit world, (i7+) would mean an additional rm1000 or more. Sorry to say that a lot of us can do more things with that extra RM1000.

The whole Note 7 fiasco has create a lot of hassle to me. The time i spent for backup, recall, restore, backup again, refund again.
I will consider longer before buying any Samsung product right now. They make good products, excellent products that stand out in the market, but the quality is not there. Have to purchase extra warranty, just in case you know.
