It is purely my hobby as a smartphone enthusiast. Well I am not the only one here. I even had the underrated n many said expensive Oppo Rs9 plus . I must say critics simply don't know what they are saying without even testing it out. With even a SD653 processor it performs equally  well as say V20, Mate9 series, S7e, OP3T, HTC U Ultra. Just because it has a SD653 chip doesn't make it poor. Yes I do agree it is comparatively more expensive. Most amazing is it's very fast app installation which shame most SD820, SD821 phones. The phone s super ultra smooth too.
Many look down at SD650,652 chipset but I must say I had good time w them on MiMax, A9pro

Frank speak, you don't play games. So outside all phone is very great nor-matter it is middle range or high-end because middle range power already enough for you.

Why paid more when the device from Oppo is highly over price and nothing special.

As said is my hobby. Price is immaterial to me. - is within my budget and I can afford it. I had paid premium averaging rm500 and above u for unavailable phones here - just to test eg recent Mi Mix I both 128 and 256gb models. Just as pricy iPhone 7+ , it now lies mainly unused these days as I simply don't like it vs Androids. But I will still buy the ip8 to test

Something that depreciate yearly is not consider worth while.

Worthwhile as in the usage la.

Example

phone you use 4 hours a day.

Compared to expenaive hifi that you use 4 hours a week.


Yea. I am surprise even wireless charging is not available in huawei and apple. Samsung have it in s6e 2 years ago.


Now the million dollar question is.

S8 or s8plus.


S8plus. Screen size is roughly 7% bigger and battery 17% bigger.

I imagine there will be discounts, but probably limited to x number of people (cue SME bashing on FB during pre-order)...

30% is a bit of a stretch though. I'm guessing 10% with some freebies.

10% then most people would opt to wait note8.

My comment is reply to your comment on this sentence "I must say critics simply don't know what they are saying without even testing it out. With even a SD653 processor it performs equally well as say V20, Mate9 series, S7e, OP3T, HTC U Ultra. Just because it has a SD653 chip doesn't make it poor.".

Quote from Spore hardwarezone.sg :

friend of mine in the industry shared some info with me. All more or less confimed

S8/S8+ : 1078/1198

Preorder gifts: New Samsung Gear VR headset with controller for all purchases

Unlocked device only purchases from Samsung also get a 256gb microsd card


Unconfirmed but it is pricy ( converted to ringgit)

I am also more a Note-series fan but my Note 3 really can't keep up with the recent custom ROM adopted from S7 and Note 7. Even taking a phone call will lag. rclxub.gif So will get the S8+ first and if Note 8 offer much more, will switch back to Note 8 later this year.

Same too hope they give some other stuff rather than VR. Got one to pair with note 7 last time and left in dust until now due to the recall.

I noticed there's another pic from somewhere else which showed the Back button is on the left. I hope it means we can flip the position in settings.

yes, the position of the 3 "buttons" can be customised. But Samsung users are used to back button in the right. biggrin.gif
