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.
*
but across all partners they did mention the same set of freebies

Like previous N7 pre prder, they have 4000 Samsung set and another 4000 for partners with the same freebies. after that some partner oversold the units with different freebies & different collection date which then the fiasco boomed and it never materialized.

What I meant is that partners can oversold the units and give a different freebies and collection date when stock replenished from Samsung.

i see
should be ok for me as i ordered and paid within the first 30 mins from 10am
even if they oversold it should only affect the late comers

Non profit Group purchase, price doesn't include shipping to your house, we all can meet up 1 place to distribute, preferable PJ/Damansara area.

Honestly for most people, what they do is mostly fb, selfie, messaging, instagram or watch movie. Do they need 3k+ phone to do so? No. Previously cheaper phone lag but not anymore. Even RM600 Chinese phones can be pretty decent. 1.5k would get you similar performance to branded flagship, or midrange performance with better camera.

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

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.

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 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

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

Im not concern about RV... a few thousand ringgit gadget... not even car(kimchi car depreciate even faster than ur phone, but ppl still buying it)... few hundred ringgit more in RV wont make me richer...
what I concern the most is the battery performance after certain amount of time...
Samsung's battery seems impair quite fast...
Btw I jz ordered the S8+ black... from S6e...
