DirectD seem a big Malaysia company. After sales services good? They offer extra 1y warranty rm89 or 2y rm158.
Will might year end or when price of v20 not that ridiculous high.
Anyone have experience claim warranty with them?
Their set is from Korea?

I'd get the 7 plus just to try out the AirPods when it comes out. And also 7 plus is a very different eco system than android. To each their own haha.

But I can say iPhones generally have a better gaming experience.

never wanting a iphone until i7plus.
due to dual camera with telephoto and it's portrait mode bokeh effect are so nice.
other than that... not so into.
too pricey lea... cry.gif

What phone you using now, if not urgent, maybe just keep the money for next phone, but you surely need to wait until Feb, 2017 if current phone in market nothing you like.

Unless you interesting with others brand phone, if you never try others brand, maybe now is good time to try out.

Others brand also did well in phone, not only Samsung.

You can try out

  • Google Pixel XL (I may buy it or may not or not now),
  • LG V20 (It is a solid phone but I not so like the front design where the top extra screen make the phone screen not in center but lower down),
  • Huawei P9 Plus (I am ex owner, stunning camera but focus speed not that fast compare with Samsung S7 Edge)
  • iPhone 7 Plus (My next phone, is time to taste iOS).
For smaller phone, you can try out

  • Sony Xperia XZ (I try it and it look nice and smooth but the camera do over sharpening, at least it is the best ever did by Sony already),
  • LG G5 (I try it and it is unbelievable look nice in actual with stunning camera).
For cheaper phone, you may try out

  • LG Google Nexus 5x (I am using it now with Android 7.0, gorgeous screen and camera)
  • Xiaomi Mi Max (my sister is using it, solid giant size phone)
If insist on Samsung, the only phone I can recommended now is

  • Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (I am ex owner, real solid and the best Samsung phone now, actually shall be Note7 but too bad the bad tragic on it).

+1.
LG v20 or I7plus to taste IOS

For Note or Android users thinking of switching over to iPhone 7/7+, I'd like to offer my experience using iPhones. I had used all the iPhone series since first model with exception of iP5S
Be prepared for a " shock" at how closed IOS is vs Androids
Here are some :

It is basically the management of files on IOS vs Android
To me is quite an important issue but could be totally unimportant to others

IOS restricts any file type to only one app and one must reassigned the same file to other apps if needed eg a PDF file if assigned to Adobe Reader cannot be read by any other apps unless I reassigned it again and that needs iTunes
Using iTunes to manage my files collection is troublesome
Unlike Android you can do practically anything on phone itself eg delete, edit file names, move, copy etc
Most files ( except video) I am unable to delete directly on phone unless to use iTunes
All files downloaded through Mail app if I assigned a certain app to open it , I must use the same app to access it again

Whatsapp : every image and video files is lumped together in one single Camera folder together with all my other photos. Deleting any images/videos on whatsapp will not delete the file and I need to manually go into camera folder to delete it and than select empty from Deleted folder

Downloading attachments on Mail app is terribly slower vs even my lowest end Android. One still need a separate app to send attachments thro Mail.

I had purchased Sandisk iXpand 64GB drive to act as external USB OTG drive but is overall a disappointing experience - file transfer speeds is so terribly slow vs Android. And the Sandisk drive isn't cheap either - last year I paid nearly RM300 for the 64GB unit. All copied files goes to a single My Downloads folder on phone and you cannot placed your files on any folder of your choice

The iPhone is overall a very good efficient phone other than these file management issues. Such files management is easily done on any Android and on the phone itself. I could easily create any folders on phone internal memory or ext SDCard and move files easily within phone itself. No need to connect the iPhone with PC to do such simple tasks

thanks uncle benny.
this actually the 1 of major reasons holding me back from getting I7plus.
I mean i know how great the OS efficient etc. new dual camera with portrait mode does attract me alots (I like taking lots of photos)
but comes to itune and app management... does feel not that simple and convenient.

Last but not least, extra RM1420 for I7plus 128gb, really not worth the money in my mind (personal opinion and above my personal budget)
cry.gif

waiting T&L HK release V20 and will give LG a try. (Hope they price agak agak RM2699 like that)
though I heard lots of people complain G4 and V10 bootloop issue ( I suspect snapdragon 808 issue), but some still mention even new G5 with S820 also having bootloop issue.
Just hope LG did discover problem on previous bootloop in G4 and V10 and manage to sort out and fix on V20.
Can't bear if V20 bootloop after 1year warranty, then another few hundred/thousand buck to fix the motherboard etc.
Then the total cost will be phone price + repair cost. (might peak RM3k~RM4k) cry.gif

All these keep spinning in my head for few days . Dilemma I7plus and V20. rclxub.gif
hahahahahaha

I just got my ip7+ 256gb. Even though my preference is always on Android I still use an iPhone as a secondary phone. I am not a diehard Android user as said by some users here. A diehard will not even wish to buy an iPhone or even Windows phone
Which phone OS is more suitable depends on your needs
It is simply sad that some iPhone users refused to accept those IOS weaknesses. Even Android had its own range of weaknesses too.

ya. plus minus each side. pro and cons each side.

have to dig more about media transfer between pc to iphone if really wanna get I7plus.

just went to Sunway Carnival mall to return my note 7.
ask me the snap the filled form.
pass me a resit.
give me bank resit to fill bank account and name.
i pass him a photocopy of my E-bank (with name and account number) just for security purpose.

I'm the 5th customer actually, base on number 5 sticker they stick on my box.
Luckily can do 1 day early, weekday super busy on work. haha.
