I think this round it's harder for you to let go compared to S7E and Note 7 pre-order time.
Smooth pre-order = lesser anticipation.

I wish i could get this phone on pre order.
Hope TouchWiz doesn't lag and will be as smooth as HTC Sense.
My last samsung phone since S4.
*
I had S7E before Nougat, then OnePlus 3 and now using HTC 10 (Nougat).

I don't know about other HTC phone but those who has been saying HTC Sense is smooth on HTC 10 needs to get their reality checked lol. It's the most laggy among the three phones I listed there. Stutters from time to time and I haven't really installed a lot of apps. doh.gif Even S7E was stutter free. OnePlus 3's Oxygen is the smoothest. Never stutter.

Everyone says now bad economy
But 3k phone still selling like hot cake

I think it's not selling like "hot cake" this round.

Anyway, a 100 units of S8+ can buy one house (OK not in KL). And how long does one take to pay that house loan? 30 years? sweat.gif

why they restock black.... now i bought the black s8+... lol
the reason i not buy at 10am is because of the ram, why not selling the 6gb version here
*
Yeah it's an oversight from Samsung IMHO. Samsung flagship phones prior to S8, the specs had been top end. Amount of RAM was never overtaken by any other brand during launch.

Ram = power consuming, 4gb is actually more than enough, 6gb is abit overkill
*
Not significant. Nougat's Doze implementation made this even more insignificant. My OnePlus 3 had very similar battery life as my S7 Edge despite having 20% smaller battery capacity. smile.gif

Yes it may be overkill for now but 6GB is more future-proof and IMHO a flagship phone should be future-proof.

If given a choice of 4GB and 6GB phones and both are using more than 4GB of memory, 6GB is definitely more desirable.

We dont need bigger batteries. We need better battery management on android bro. Even with a bigger battery, the phone overheats for no reason and battery drains like mad suddenly. This happened on all my flagship androids be it S7E, Note 7, OPO 3 and OPO 3T. I have to soft reset once this happens.  shakehead.gif

Definately not because on Battery Management it shows Android utilizing the most percentage at the said time.

For me Google Services is always the app which top the % utilization.

Took the plunge and bought a S8+ for my wife see if she like it...

3699-500(hsbc voucher).

Could be much lower after deduct RM50 cashback from PBB VS. I hope Shopback honor its RM100 special discount.

Nice. Lucky wife hahaha. thumbsup.gif
BTW how did you get HSBC voucher RM500 off? lol

QUOTE(yuhhaur @ Apr 11 2017, 04:20 PM)
To my understanding, the 7000 units with freebies is only applicable through the Official Samsung Site. partners are not counted. Its a dumb move if they oversell the pre order qty or not included freebies in their oversold (>7000) units.

We'll see what will happen.
*
Those telcos are considered as partners right? They also offer the same pre-orde freebies and extra warranty.

really hope samsung can do better bundle than this.

at least not giving way to the scalpers.
*
Compared to Huawei P10 series pre-order bundles, this is considered good already. Or you prefer water flask and bluetooth speaker instead of extra year warranty? biggrin.gif
And no discount is the right move to reduce scalpers. Compared to S7E pre-order, the number of scalpers are considered relatively low already.

The urge and reason to upgrade is definitely getting less and less.

Had a harder time convincing myself to jump from Xperia Z5 to S8 because the Z5 is still going strong.

In the end, I hopped over pretty much only for the sleek design, bezel-less screen and camera lol (Sony camera is so damn slow)
*
Sony's camera output just won't cut it in today's high standard.

Sure for normal use you won't notice the need to upgrade. But put it side by side with other top end Androids you will notice the difference very quickly lol.

now the issues with iOS started to surface more frequently compared to iPhone 4 era
eg my friend iPhone 5S suffered some touch screen issue after updated to iOS 10

performance also drop

Oppo/Vivo target youth and ladies markets - a great market which major manufacturers haven't tapped in yet, with aggresive marketing campaigns such as commercials in cinemas, Siti Nurhaliza / Korea guy as the ambassador, the sales volume is not to be underestimated, simply walk into any Aeons always can see booths selling one of these

Huawei on the other hand is touted as premium Chinese brand, with Honor cater to midrange and budget oriented

meanwhile Sony, its like Volvo cars in Malaysia, either you like it, or you just ditch it, even not doing that well in its home country Japan, but overall it is still a solid phone, I most likely will keep it instead of selling it
*
Yup. It's a major untapped market. Aunties been telling me if want good camera must buy Oppo. sweat.gif
For the price and specs, Oppo is actually relatively expensive and high margin compared to other Android.

The biggest losers of all is Xiaomi.
