Increase is close to currency differences vs last year ??

fair pricing if this is the real deal. at least not as expensive as iPhone 7/+ launch. but of course if could get a little bit of discount for those who pre-order would be better.

if s8+ is RM3599 - i am on for it.

The thing is, my informer is also not sure yet. The teams are still discussing. On contrary to what most people said here in regards to Samsung Malaysia wants to gain more profit, actually SME wants the price to be as lower as it can to make the phone more 'reachable' to mass, but there are lots of factor and a principal they have to oblige thus they cant finalize yet.

South Korea will get their S8 in 6GB ram too.

Anyone want join pre order for spigen case can PM me

My guess was 3499 for S8 plus haha. And 10% off for preorder.

Thanks for sharing. Would the price for s8 be confirmed b4 the 9th???

Samsung should just FOC DEX instead.

Personally Im not that interested with S8 but I really want to see what it is capable of with the 20 shader core G71 GPU. Huawei Kirin 960 already beat Samsung to A73 + G71 but when I looked at the history of Kirin SOC, seem like their GPU always sucks because they are using way less shader core. I was about to buy a Mate 8 since it is on sale right now but when I looked at the GPU, it was about on par with my S6E despite using the newer Mali T880. Exynos 7420 has 8 shader core but slower T760 but Huawei decided with 4 shader core but faster T880.

Very nice affordable price. Much better than the 3499 i was expecting for S8

If its 3599.

S7e now is about rrp2499.

Rm1000 difference.

I say s7e is a bargain now.

dont to forget to count the GST in... +6%

GS8 = 3390
GS8+ = 3890

lol

It really is. If you ask me S7E vs P10 Plus, I will still choose S7E. Unless one is really careless and is afraid of the edge display no reason to choose P10 plus really.

are u sure?
why malaysia only 4gb ram T T

unker not malaysia only. Most market are 4gb only selected will get the 6gb with 128gb memory

Only Korea and China will have the 6gb/128gb version for now

Kirin 960 is quite good. A73 vs modified A72. A73 is exactly what's inside snapdragon 835 and exynos 8895. The only downside is the gpu shader core is only 8. Although it's running newer G71, it's a bit slower than S7e exynos 8890 with 12 shader cores T880. The thing about A73 is sustained performance vs peak performance with A72.

S8 is a different beast with either 835 or 8895. It's built on 10nm which will guarantee 30% faster than A72, compared to Kirin 960 which is on 16nm, which is limiting the gain between 10-15%.

The price drop makes S7 and S7 Edge very good value proposition. You no longer need to buy Oneplus 3T or Huawei type of phones to save money.

P10 to me looks pretty much like P9. After 1 year they didn't improve anything on the design and bezels look huge for 2017 phone. I totally skip this phone, in fact I like the P9 better.

This year any screen that doesn't look like S8 and G6 will look out of date.

Kirin 960 is just a bit faster than Oxynos 8890 but much more expensive (P10 plus vs S7E).

Although Huawei P10 is a decent phone, I still think it's too expensive. Should not be 2499.

If irenic's leaked price is true, then P10 Plus is not appealing at all.

However mainstream people may differ. A few people asked me regarding what phone to buy, I can say most people want to avoid the Samsung edge display. They are scared of breaking it...So it may backfire. And the Leica brand marketing strategy is really effective. Everyone is talking about it.

No foldable phone from Samsung this year. Confirmed by Samsung Engineer.

Bezeless display is doing very good for Samsung Display.
