Bought mine off Lazada at RM 1,999 (without discount code) and it arrived first thing in the morning the next day. Try checking 11th Street and DirectD for alternatives but I'm not sure about speed of delivery. Also because mine is the A3000 model, it came with two fat pins that require an adapter. Could be a bit troublesome but then again it's nothing major.

It is indeed a good purchase for those who cannot justify the price paid for S7E. With depreciation cost factored in, I've been feeling uncomfortable about swapping for S7E, which has ultimately led to the decision of OP3.

Between the N5 and the N4, I'd rather stick to the N4. I do not have a N5 myself but I do have a N4. If you're a heavy user, you would benefit more from the N4. From toying with my friends' N5, I find the N5 to be rather restrictive in many areas, one being the inability to add on storage. Strangely, the N4 still feels pretty powerful today despite how much it has aged. I've been using it since it was released, equipped it with Spigen's hybrid armor and when I passed the phone to my mom (after factory reset and replacing the screen protector), it's good as new (both the looks and performance).  IMHO, do not waste money buying the N5. If you reeeeallly need the stylus, fall back to the N4 instead. icon_rolleyes.gif

but wouldn't you be worry about the depreciation value for op3?

So sorry just wondering for those who got the refund from Samsung store. Can we get refund from non Samsung product as Spigen case we brought together with the phone?
*
As long as you bought from the official dealer / store, you should be able to get refund.

that's my understanding la biggrin.gif

I returned my Note7 yesterday at Sunway Pyramid.

It was pretty smooth sailing, signed a paper, just return empty box and phone, and then receive refund by cheque.

I'm happy at the end, I get 2 adapters, 2 USB-C cables, 2 earphones, 2 USB-C jack, 2 OTG jack and those freebies. Though, losing the Note7 was sad indeed, especially since both Note7 I used for the past 2 months were bug-free sad.gif

Got myself OnePlus 3 last weekend smile.gif

Can't quite compare to Note7, but nothing is, not even Pixel or LG V20 lol.

But I guess it's value for money, and probably good RV seeing supply very limited, yet demand seems high. Most of all, it's probably the only non-Samsung with scroll capture out there smile.gif

Will wait for Note8 or whatever renamed model with S-Pen.

i am still thinking wan to go for OP3 or not...scared dun have resale value when S8 comes, perhaps that time the supply will be more and demand dropped

The shop's location is in PJ. Hopefully no issue, but not really intending to hold on to it for long. Just until Note8 next year lol
*
haha, i am also trying to hold on to it until note 8 (if there is 1) come out again biggrin.gif

hmm..gonna go for s7e la...since i bought the extra 1 yr warranty for note 7 (will be transferred to new phone if i exchange) and with the extra 1 year warranty, can guarantee a better selling price biggrin.gif

tried out OP3 actually...feels kinda too stock...a bit boring...haha..been using CM on my old phone for 2 yrs adi...sudah test vanilla experience gao gao

but i do like the notifications slider on OP3... very convenient.

Aa, nice to get to transfer warranty  thumbup.gif

The dealbreaker for S7E for me is because it's still on Micro USB port lol. I dunno why, I've had few cables where the 2 "teeth" sink in, thus making connection loose when charging.

Plus, the convenience of USB-C being reversible, don't need to think, just simply plug in is nice lol.
*
hahaha, not an issue for me here xD

all my cables still working fine hehe

when u getting ur phone?

Haha, it's just me I guess, dunno why I'm bad with micro usb cables lol. But then again, since I think micro usb is going extinct soon, might as well future proof with USB-C phone. Also, thanks to Note7, I now have 3 chargers with USB-C head  brows.gif  brows.gif  brows.gif

I ordered Friday, arrived on Monday. After returning Note7, straight into OP3 smile.gif

Today gonna be first full day, performance so far so good, lightweight and snappy. Battery life gonna monitor smile.gif

hahaha! yes please tongue.gif

if possible, review before 6pm maybe i can hold my horse hahahaha

Thanks. I noticed that too.

But has anyone actually went to Maxis and settled the refund (waiver) this way yet? I don't want to be going to a Maxis Centre and being told that I can't - waste of my time / petrol / toll / parking / etc.

Since Maxis promised to call me, I'm still waiting for the call. And I've not seen any official announcement from them.

better u call them now doh.gif

sometimes all these waiting games, duno wait until when

Haha, S7E is definitely the better phone.

1. IP68 water resistant. Oh man, I now feel a little paranoid not having water resistance  sweat.gif
2. That gorgeous 2K AMOLED hnnnggghhh
3. Best camera. OP3's not too bad, also got press home button twice to launch, or draw O when screen off, but quality is incomparable.
4. Wireless charger. Yep.
5. Edge screen. I thought it was gimmicky, but after trying and customising it to my need, it's actually pretty handy and I like it.

Though due to that, I don't use any screen protector, but throughout 2 months of owning Note7, always carrying it in my pocket with keys, it never scratched.
6. Probably better batt life, 3,600mAh vs OP3's 3,000mAh. So far, I got 1 hour SOT with 80% batt, so estimating about 5 hours ish for OP3, though I'm on dual sim.
*
5hours for OP3? that is actually not bad eh!

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Oct 19 2016, 01:40 PM)
i mean... just cuurious... how would the edge bit be different? how is it more handy compared to the flat screen?

sorry ya, just curious...

if it's the the edge panel... can be easily replaced with SWIPEPAD apps that has got even more functions.

for me... it was useless to have curved edges... movies don't feel so nice. some websites display in full screen and i need to turn phone a bit... i can't even use the pen properly when i wanna crop the sides...
*
I am with u on the bold text...the spen just won't work nicely when near the edge sweat.gif

so in the end your note 7 still with you? your YES outlet is lot10 or one u?
*

My YES outlet is in Imago, Kota Kinabalu. After getting that type of answer from them, i proceed to go buy myself a temporary phone, a MI Max for replacement of the N7. Until then still searching for a suitable replacement for the N7. My N7 now is sealed in the black coffin that comes along with it.

Hows the features and functions as we are used to the Note 7? OP3 is more towards stock android while Note 7 is heavily masked Touchwiz. Am worried I might not get used to it. Btw, all OP3s now are AP sets. No stock of original sets at the moment.  rclxub.gif

checked DirectD?

Nothing compares to Note7 biggrin.gif It has many features, which if utilized, is simply unrivaled.

OP3 indeed is very "empty" and "lightweight", coupled with solid hardware like SD820, 6GB RAM and 64GB internal, the UI just flies, switching tasks effortlessly.

Perhaps this simplicity gives the perception it'll be stable and reliable in the long run smile.gif

Given its asking price, it's good value for money, then has very, very fast charger, with scroll capture, it's a good "stop gas" measure while waiting for Note8 I suppose.
*
yea, that's exactly how i feel when trying out the demo unit

very empty and plain...switching between apps are fast

for 2k (maximum price)...not bad for an alternative.

+1.

Agreed. Am just worried that the Op3 would be so empty and simple for Note 3 users like us. Note 3 users are too pampered seriously. I can even go back to the S7E which I migrated from.  sweat.gif

u ordered the phone but never tested it before?

dun worry that it will not be nice?

We know Note7 is epic when there's so many articles, even lowyat writes one, the top alternatives to Note7 biggrin.gif

OP3 is consistently in the list. Its fuss-free approach is its strength.

Low price but at least flagship tier is one of my criteria to replace Note7, can't shake this feel of reluctance to spend more for something that is not Note7 lol.
*
QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 19 2016, 05:32 PM)
Yes especially when paying flagship price for some phone that you know would never be better than the note 7. So I chose to relegate to the back seat at get something that can last me for a few months before they come out with a replacement for the Note 7. The OP3 fits the bill nicely.

ok...gg...now i gotta rethink my decision of exchanging for S7E hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif
