youtube will fix when they add s8 aspect ratio it will fit.

The ratio is not standard and not widely use. YouTube can't fix that, it depends on user submission.

How many video recorder got such aspect ratio. Not much.

The standard for consumer now still 16:9 thus black bar is always there unless this 18.5:9 became standard.

The only to full screen is crop it and make it full. Aspect ratio is not something you said change then change that simple.

pre-order belum sold out?
Seems strange for 7000pcs

I find nothing strange.

1st the battery explosion do affecting. Due to that issue, really a lot people change phone brand.

2nd really a lot people buy Huawei now and mostly buy Huawei all told me won't jump ship and will continue use Huawei, especially the Leica thing really help Huawei a lot and it do really output very nice photo.

3rd I notice more and more user using iPhone now. iPhone 7 / 7 Plus is the most people buy this time.

4th is too many Oppo and Vivo shop now, I always see a lot people at Oppo shop and most of the time I seen customer buying it.

5th not a lot people keep changing phone, already too many people already upgrade new phone before this phone launch.

6th this S8 / S8+ ain't cheap. Really not much people would buy RM 3K Android phone now because even middle range already very solid build with great performance for Android.

7th this time pre-order free gift is not that attractive. I find Samsung pre-order free gift downgrade every year.

In short, a lot people already change brand and Samsung no longer that lead anymore.

I told a lot people about S8 today and nobody in my working place is interesting to it, not even want to Google to check it out even though I said how nice it is, most people immediate told me not interesting with Samsung when I just mentioned brand "Samsung".

** I based on total 2k+ staff in my working place phone usage behavior & unknown people surrounding me.

*** I am not bashing this phone, I tell what I seen happening surrounding me. I very like this phone design and possible buying it after holding it.

Last time I argue before with my friend every year change phone is common, my friend told me do you think it is very common, or only most people in lowyat keep changing and the keep changing one also that few person.

I look around and had to admit not much people keep changing phone and most people use until broken just change.

LG phone I very scared already, that the reason I by pass G6 even though it look pretty as well. The bootloop issue seems never proper fix by LG.

kinda agree with you..my office most ppl get huawei and oppo as mid ranger price range while iphone as top brand.. i told my colleague abt s8, they told me don get first, better wait a while to monitor if any problem with the phone.. if you get the phone, better stay away from us..later kaboom..  rclxub.gif  sweat.gif although i know they are kidding, but the past case really affect the image of samsung.. hopefully this phone don come out with problem ..  wub.gif i kinda like the design too..but wait till hold the phone first.. wub.gif

Haha! Ya. Either not interesting at all or joke about it.

Another thing is Samsung phone now price drop very fast. Maybe only need a month or two the price of S8 or S8+ will drop below RM 3k. Samsung can't hold the price steady long.

Probably because iPhone only once per year but Samsung is twice per year.

nowadays college students also use iPhones
not to say most of them, but in certain demographics you do see them use Apple products quite a lot
seems despite the low spending power, more and more Msians are able to afford iPhones now, though through 24 mth installments whistling.gif

Ya I notice this also. It is a huge increase start last year.

nono.. not Samsung but Android phones in general tend to depreciate faster compare to iPhone

Samsung in fact got better resale value due to its demands, as opposed to Sony phones where it is very hard to come by shops that willing to accept trade in

there are people who love iPhone due to its iOS simplicity, and there are people dislike it due to the same reason

it is weird that some ppl mindset who carry iPhone say Android phones over rm3k are expensive, mcm la only iPhones can be sold above rm3k
*
Actually iOS will facing same issue also if iOS can be manufacturer by others.

That is the big different on Apple iPhone because if you want iOS, only Apple. How expensive Apple sell it, people still willing to buy it.

Sony, LG & Moto already consider dead two years ago in Malaysia market.

Now not only Samsung, Huawei also got resell value. Others like Oppo I not really sure. Xiaomi wise the market already drop pretty bad, all thanks to lousy Malaysia Xiaomi handle the market.

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.

haha we are on the same boat
but the more we change, the more I feel is boring
hence better stick to 2 year change once laugh.gif
as nowadays flagship performance are good enough, only battery life getting shorter and shorter
*main cause is Pokemon Go whistling.gif

Ya, me also, my desire on phone changing also drop now. This year is not that crazy already compare with last two years.

Pokemon GO I always swipe off when not using then it is not that affecting battery life. Probably also I seldom play already, already bored on this game now.
