I hope it is 12am this time though.... just my wish. Coz if 10am I have just landed in Hong Kong airport, will be troublesome to fight with you guys to grab 2 of the S8.

you bad boy.. should help for free since you are the TS now.

anyway, will try to do it on the go with my Note 3. Maybe will get my wife to place the order too but she is not good in these tech nerds' things. She will say "just wait for it to release lah,,,, why so hurry to get one."...zzZZzzzz

i think we dun have a choice here - most likely we will get the Exynos version.

Of course I can pay you the pre-order deposit first. How much is the amount for Note 7 for the pre-order? I think is RM500, balance to be fully pay when go collection?

just google, the pre-order deposit for Note 7 is only RM300.

info from Soyacincau site, only 4,000 units available from Samsung directly for the note 7 pre-order. Hopefully this time they can allocate more, say 10,000 units for Malaysia for the first batch.

you were not pre-order directly with Samsung Malaysia is it? I think there were various place you can get pre-order for note 7 last time - Samsung malaysia, Lazada, Senheng, Yes4G, etc.

I am referring to pre-order from Samsung Malaysia directly.

thought they said last time S7E only pre-order for 1 model only, the non-edge version is not on pre-order. Finger crossed they will bring both sizes in for the pre-order.

pray pray they start the pre-order on 12am.

I think I will wait for the pre-order timing confirmed by Samsung Malaysia first.

from some review videos and demo during the unpacked event, looks like face recognition is the fastest.

for some users with other bluetooth gadgets like android wear's watch which are connected via bluetooth, you can actually set the connected device as trusted devices and there is no need to unlocked at all as long as the bluetooth device is connected. You can do this with your car stereo with bluetooth, xiao mi band, etc.

haha... for me it is just a technical matter. Example: if you lost your S8 when you are out for lunch somewhere. Someone else might have stolen or pick up the phone left unattended. Most likely we are just worry whether our precious data inside will be used by others. In such typical situation, most likely the fellow will not have a photo of you to unlock your phone even if the phone can be unlocked with a photo.

anyway, we shall try it out after we get our S8.

btw, can the latest Samsung phones like S7E and Note 7 be hard-locked by owners? Meaning if one do not have the password or authentic way to unlock the phone, it will be locked forever even if you hard reset the device. I think latest Iphone has this anti-theft feature - correct me if I am wrong.

But not "truely" dual sim, it is a hybrid second slot - sim or microSD for the second slot.

with U Mobile able to do free roaming in Hong Kong and Singapore, i dun really need a second sim. On the other hand, having a 64gb as default storage may already satisfy my requirement. My current 64GB microSD in my Note 3 is only 50-60% used most of the time. Anyway, will throw in a 128GB microSD just for the sake of backup.

haha... no budget for 256GB and no need that much space too. Got the 128GB microSD off Lazada quite cheap 2 months ago.

the roaming data quota follow your local data quota. So if P70 having 15GB, you will have 15GB for roaming. I think the video-on, music-on etc no applicable for roaming lah.

around RM400 i think for a pair of 128GB Sandisk microSD.

U mobile P70? RM70 per month.


yes, it is true. You can check out at U Mobile web site. Only selected countries with specific telcos. I tested it myself at Singapore and Hong Kong. FOC in my billing.

wow... 1.3k. I think more expensive than some car's windscreen. any protection plan to buy? Like insurance? Anyone bought this kind of insurance for their phone before?

Thanks for the info, din know Samsung has this. Will seriously consider to get this for the screen protection and extra 1 year warranty, actually not too bad for RM248.

if screen really kena cracked, service fee is RM100. So RM248 is for the insurance and extra 1 year warranty. If nothing happen, you pay RM248. If really got screen cracked, will need to fork out RM248 + Rm100. This is what i understand from that Samsung link, correct me if I am wrong.

Btw, just placed my order for UAG Metropolis case for S8+. So is there a good tempered glass screen protector for S7E previously? I assume it is hard to get tempered glass protection for the S8+ curved screen.
