Qualcomm locked Samsung from being able to sell their own chipset in certain region due to immense 4g patents.

Or,
Because Qualcomm filed the patent earlier than Exynos in certain region so Samsung had no choice but to follow suit, otherwise to follow lawsuit.

Same concept to why Xperia was not getting FP on Power button activated in USA (HP had the pattern) but the underlying hardware is identical (in fact just need to flash EU rom to activate them)

In the world of patent, its all about who gets in first and secure the entrance. Other that want to come must pay the toll fee or get sue. Otherwise, get lost.

Color matter the least when you had to stuff it inside a case to protect the edge.

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.

S7 series is often plague by over saturation/over sharpening issue. While it is arguable for making the photo look warm and vivid, it can be said that it does not produce the photo that is close to the nature/original. Some people likes it and some doesn't.

If S8 can have better algorithm in fine tuning the post processing towards nature color, it will be the king of photo phone this year.

Over saturation because it was view on samsung s7edge?

How many can come up with such conclusion if one bothers to compare on their pc with properly calibrated monitor?
If compare with a camera. Camera lcd all shitty.

If compare with sony phone. Their lcd output is no match with amoled.
Summary: s7edge photo seen on s7edge looks over saturated/ sharpen.

Fact is? Other phone has shitty LCD and camera sensor.

Their photo look dull on their phone.

Professional compare the EXIF photo on one unified place (studio PC). I am sorry to hear that you blame the phone's screen for it. I don't think you know what I am saying.

Not here to argue. Peace.

Difference in 400 for the S8+, worth or not?

If you have decided to fork out RM3.xk for the phone, might as well get the S8+. The difference between the two models is worth the money.

Just a couples of extra days of bread instead of McD for lunch (and/or dinner sweat.gif ).

S8+ is just a little bigger to S7E in terms of physical size. Don't get fooled by the screen size as now it covered more STB%.

IMHO For the same resolution, the extra 16% battery really help in extending the SOT of the phone, for a 12% cost increase.

the idea of getting the S8 from Spore did flash through my mind but even after deducting the GST, it is still so much expensive than SME offer and not much freebies too although our freebies sucks but better than nothing.  We get the lowest price S8 (may be in the world?)  thumbsup.gif

I beg to differ.

Compare to other countries in this region, ours is not bad. It gaves what general public needed:

- Power bank with Type C port.
- Wireless charger.
- a simple case & SP.
- Most worthless and yet valuable, screen crack protection

While you will argue that others are offering more advance wireless charger/VR/etc/discount, the MY offer a complete package that allows the phone to be use out of the box with all the necessary. As an average Joe, you don't need to go here and there looking for SP, ordering casing like what we tech savvy is doing now here in LYN.
