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)

i think if you switch the storage to internal, or change to a new, faster SD card, the camera app will launch faster

happened on mine

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.

I got confirmation email from Shopback already. RM100 confirmed.

So in the end, quite a good deal for me...

3699-500(hsbc)-100(shopback)-50(pbb vs)=3049 for S8+.

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

Totally agree with what you saying.

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.

Looks long... if you have a S7e, add 8mm to its height and suddenly it feel alright. I was concerned too but once my cousin showed me his S7e and said only 8mm more, it really didn't feel that much different. Just more screen than anything else.

The home button make a difference. No more front button on S8 which I personally think is good.
