exciting, but a bit disappointed samsung does not adopt 2 sim trays + dedicated microSD slot like their Galaxy A 2017 series.

i have an insider telling me about the price. but it's still at initial discussion and far from confirm so i'm not gonna reveal here yet because want to make my record remains at 100%.

so far I've been correct when giving out leak price for few models in the past such as s7e, note7, htc10, htc u ultra...

I'll surely let u guys know when my 'friend' is 99% confirms with the info he provides.

lol this not confirm but highly likely the price based on your record???

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.

today's 'unofficial' update:

price might be higher. whether this apply to both variants or just one of them, i'm not sure.

Samsung will announce the price around 2 days earlier.. as for now, most probably will announce the final price to public on Sunday.

Singapore is always more transparent to their consumers, just like these manufacturers treat their european and americans customers.

But I guess the other reason why they dont release it to the public is because they still havent finalize the price yet laugh.gif

Is the phone easier to hold than s7e? I'm a bit concerned about having sharp edges on the side of the screen.
*
I believe it will be like Note 7, with smooth rounded edges.

Well the price is RM100 higher than they planned, but overall i think is still okay considering price in other countries.

Just that we can only get it around 1 month from now. Damn so slow.

how do you think your p10 performs ?
*
so far the p10 plus performs really well. I feel it's smoother than my LG G6 which is very fast already.

I hope our s8 with exynos version performs better than all other android phone processors out there (SD835, 821, Kirin960)

I had S7E before Nougat, then OnePlus 3 and now using HTC 10 (Nougat).

I don't know about other HTC phone but those who has been saying HTC Sense is smooth on HTC 10 needs to get their reality checked lol. It's the most laggy among the three phones I listed there. Stutters from time to time and I haven't really installed a lot of apps. doh.gif Even S7E was stutter free. OnePlus 3's Oxygen is the smoothest. Never stutter.
*
and lots of htc 10 users said their htc 10 is better than U Ultra!

but now my samsung s7 just goes dead! need to drop by at service center later today. sigh doh.gif

for s8 or s8+ compared to previous galaxy, the screen size is bigger but the aspect ratio has changed, the 6.2inch you get is not the same as previous one, many parts of the screen will be under utilized in watching videos, but you do get more vertical space for scrolling and also dual windows use..
*
i've seen youtube reviewers saying the new ratio for LG G6 gives advantage for dual windows .. 1 reviewer even saying no more keyboard blocking the video (if multitask youtube and whatsapp).

I own a G6 and seriously the keyboard still does block the screen! flex.gif
