Battery life comparison of S8+ w S7e, Pixel, ip7+
Looks good however just read with some salt. All of us use our phone differently
Looks like the 10nm chip does make a difference

S8+ if add in a casing. Will that be too big?
*
I don't think so. The length is only slightly longer than ip7+. I am so used to big display phones and the S8+ is just a close to nice size. However it's narrower width gives an impression is longer. Honestly I prefer it to be wider
However so many YouTube comparisons had shown the S8+ isn't that big vs visualize solely alone.

For s7edge. If we look at the price. It did not factor in our currency depreciation. ( 30%)

Such a bargain.

My friend bought S7e at rm500 discount few days back. The center straight away gave him discount without need of so called using Samsung app. The shop is only Samsung official authorised retail at my place

interested to know Snapdragon 835 vs Ezynos8835

who will win

Practically all comparisons I had read so far point to Exynos as more superior . You can Google such comparisons yourself. However it isn't significant to be of any concern

You guys do realize recent galaxy series since s6 the camera used sony camera sensor rite?
*
A lot of other phone manufacturers uses Sony sensors too . Sony only provide the hardware. It is the manufacturer software tweaking it that makes the difference. It is well established fact even Sony internal camera software falls behind many other phone manufacturers using their sensors. My last Sony Z5 premium was a disappointment on the camera performance. In fact one of experienced Z5 user here said one need some skills to make good use of the camera. For me I am just a simple point n shoot guy and so Z5P doesn't make it for me.

I normally do not installed SP on phones but I did try on the Note7 ( Samsung original). Unlike so many others I do find the SP is a good fit. I applied it following tips from YouTube. You must apply think film of liquid ( I used glass cleaner) on display first. The SP sticks well N absolutely no edges lifting off.
One doesn't simply just put on top of display and than try to push out the bubbles

dun put your value on top of ppl's head.  that's only your view point.  How you know ppl dun even use those features?  Yes, we can just buy a Samsung A7 or C9 Pro or whatever without those features at cheaper price. 

It's good you know what phone suit you best but we also know what phones suit us best, so dun judge us and say that we dun know what we are doing.  I use both Android and IOS devices and I know what pro and cons of each system and I believe a lot of lowyat members here are tech savvy ppl and know too. 

Sorry, i dun like to argue but i just can't stand ppl thought they are the smartest around.  doh.gif  Yes, you think you are the smartest around and it may probably true but dun assume others are not as smart.  wink.gif

Different users had different perception on value of stuffs
Just because one is willing to spend more on a smartphone doesn't mean that user is unwise or dumb
Same thing goes for other stuffs such as audio hifi equipment, cameras, TV, fridge, cars etc.
Worse are some who said those who buy so called "non value ", "lesser value". "over priced" smartphones as Aunties and Uncles !!!

So basically we pay RM300 as deposit for the preorder and the remaining we need to liase with the KLCC Samsung store? How does it work exactly ah?

Just work it out with the seller. I am not sure whether any interest or service fees will be charged. My last purchase at Samsung center, the balance I was offered either full payment or 24 months. I chose full and did not asked about the installment option.

The 10000mAh unit given free during Note7 days was quick charging type. I wonder whether this is similar too with quick charging?

I doubt the pre order will be sold out as fast as previous Note7 mainly due to its unattractive offer. Samsung should also least offer a 10% discount! And despite all their previous indications, no special offers at all to ex Note7 users. The weakened MR leading to higher price could be a deterrent too
Well at least this time it will less attractive to those who just buy n sell merely to make a profit

Problem with buying overseas phone is just that the payment services, samsung pay/ maybank pay might not work
