Sorry Benny, my sentence was a bit ambiguous , let me rephrase my question.

I was asking for your opinion, by using 4G or WiFi which one will consume / drain more battery power of the phone.
*
I would say generally 4g would consume more power. On mainly wifi I could get an hour+ extra. It is the same on my other Androids and iPhone too.

dual sim since day 1 .... what you mean responded ?

it's the same as any dual-sim phone but it's 4G+2G config (Lame!)
reception for both are good.
you have to set which sim gets preferences for message, calls, misc. but still can choose before call or message
but Data only can choose 1 sim to run at a time, interchangeable though.

IM, SM are not an issue as you can enable dual install now.

battery life is good (i posted before)

Is not 4g/2g but 4g/3g. What telcos were you using???

Had been using this phone more than a week and loving it. It is now my main daily driver and the Mate10 had been relegated to be the secondary phone
I had chose this over Note8 solely because of its reasonable pricing, bigger width and more proportionate looks. I had always love the SPen and is indeed a great piece of tool for me.
I would be keeping this if note9 turn out be similar to Note8 in dimensions.
My only hope Samsung will continue to support it in its firmware update.

Is the battery life comparable to mate 10?

The fingerprint is press and hold type right?

Just play fe in samsung store, surprisingly its light and compact
*
Mate 10 battery usage thrumps it. For me without gaming at least 7 to 8 hours SOT Vs 5-6 on FE.
Fingerprint vastly superior too on M10. The Note FE s still older type of recognition and easily even loses out on sensitivity to Mate7 and Mate8 n 9.
The Spen is the Note most attractive feature for me

Swapping from Wifi to LTE and vice versa signal was a bit slow right ?

Need to set to flight mode then Wifi or LTE.  blush.gif

Good sharing, so far still loving sammy phone. Only thing to hate is the price drop too fast for a near flagship phone. Sme should really state a period for their dealer before throwing the unit in cheap sales
*
It is overpriced in its price when released. Best time to buy any Samsung is after a month or two of its release. I paid rm2.2k for mine online but these days one could get around 1.9 to 2k!!

Hi all, just wondering, is this phone still consider good buy? Since its hardware a bit outdated and the OS also preloaded with Bixby. And how's the monthly security updates? Can get every month or now stuck to a certain month only? Really tempted to get this since Samsung is known for good camera quality, but software wise is still something of a hit and miss.
*
I think you can forget this phone if security updates are important. It is still stuck at august!!

Does Note FE supports USB OTG?

Any of the flight which does not allow Note FE to be brought on board?
*
Yes.
I don't think it is banned. Only note 7 is affected. These days the counter doesn't even bother what phones you are bringing on board - my experiences with Emirates, MAS n AAsia so far

But the FE internal apps have more newer functions?
Maybe others can comment on the battery. Maybe can ask uncle benny. He most likely have tried both models to comment.

Note FE battery life i do find it last longer by an hour vs S7e
Also in operation is cooler than S7e.
Between them I will choose note FE as the bonus is the Spen.

You either pay cash or through credit card
For CC you had option to select installment ( need online approval first from bank). You might need to pay rm50 or slightly more ( one time only) as service charge if you choose installment option
There is no additional charge using CC
All process will be handled by the SQ staffs
