The front looks gorgeous. If I were to upgrade, it'll be my 1st phablet sized phone. The thing that keeps me from being 100% sold on this phone is that I feel like samsung is holding up on things. Like they keep few things from this phone on purpose then go all out for next note series. Lol.

But most youtube reviews are positive. Even d akward FP scanner placement got a "maybe requires some getting used to" approval.

Samsung Malaysia freebies usually are more exciting compared to Singapore.

Is it is now, I always wipe my phone camera to my shirt before using. It's kind of a habit cause I feel like there's no way we can keep it smudge free no matter where the FP scanner is. Lol. But this s8 placement sure makes it worse but for me, since I'm used to wiping before using this should be a non-issue.

I think it's been like that for quite sometime already. Galaxy S6 was the last time i remember we can play with demo units before pre-order date. Other flagships were all blind pre-order.
