really ... you don't see the second class treatment there?
even bloody Note 5 outranked the FE.
That statement by Samsung is clearly a "in your face direct punch you then give you candy" statement.

ditto I second this ... been waiting till i see mushrooms growing on me

IMH2CO NO as there are other way way better phone out there for 2k +- unless you absolutely need the Spen and cannot live without it like yours truly

any differences between smart switch versus OTA ?
besides the "i can get it faster than OTA" factor

nevermind forget what i ask as OTA update are live now 1.376GB Oreo
delicious ~

so what is inside the differences of 1.33Gb ?

btw how to enable the app pair function ? can't find it ... i love this feature which was on note 8

ok updated but there seems to be a problem i cannot activate the gif keyboard.
under sticker only has sticker tab no GIF tab to use GIF.
Anyone has the same problem ?

but it's in the changelog and they clearly state it as a feature for us to enjoy under samsung experience 9.0 umbrella

why bother to put in changelog if not going to implement it ?
f**ksung seriously !!

go to sammy pay app under settings select "use favorite card" then toggle the on/off for diff places to your desire.

btw can you get GIF keyboard to work ?

oh and battery is just fine if not better for me at least ... can last one and half day on light usage.

cant say for older models but new huawei seems rather decent.
btw if huawei is your choice add 200-300 more and you can get the Mate 10 @~1.7k.
the mate 10 is a rather solid phone with machine learning AI too.
At that time, had i no use for s-pen, i would have lean strongly towards the Mate 10 (non pro ver.)

I'm on the latest firmware and i observe this battery drain for couple of weeks.
appox ~ 8 hours overnight drain average about 10 - 15% for me.
this should be normal right for a phone of 1 year old tmr ?

pal do feedback here on the seller and transaction yea ... cause i have no idea when but my screen has spider web crack on the bottom already and my 1 year screen warranty just pass a month ago (dammit motherf****).

I may go with the seller too if he is good. does he include installation too ? and what's his warranty like ?

for those who got the phone around 1 month of it's malaysian launch date

- can i know how does your battery fair now, more particularly overnight drop percentage wise ?

i know depends of individual usage but just to get general info. mine kinda weak drops 20%++
granted i game, tether & multi app a lot.

did anyone notice that the pie update mentioned "it streamline things" but actually really just remove many features some even I detest, some small examples like

- alarm now always ring ascending volume only no where to toggle it off.
- volume toggle when volume button is press while on any app now only shows you the level only, you cannot direct adjust the level instead have to keep pressing the physical buttons
- device maintenance became lame device care with less features on app controlling.
- you are now unable to gesture swipe for instant pop-up window instead have to go to recent app and click it. (unless i am missing something)
- game launcher now do not have the floating button instead you have to click it on the notification tray.


on plus side

- battery usage is now better optimized (after all that auto reinstalling of sammy apps)
- yes one-handed mode is way easier now (I don't really care for this)
- sammy's own night mode



long story short this update gets an F for me and the only really plus side for me is the night mode (though the dark theme mode is better)

2 years 4 mths in ... my battery is still strong, heavy user here.

if any;

- current phone no major damage.
- I/you do not need the newer specs tech at least not in the near future (~ 2 years)
- the replacement battery is a a respectable/tolerable price point

I would not change new phone.

I am actively using just nothing to talk about only
