I went to Samsung Store in Imago Shopping Mall KK. The lady boss was there, i show her side by side with the demo unit, my unit was obviously very red. Done software update at the store, but no different.. still very red.

She open third unit of S8+ for me, thanks god no more red tinted.

She said as long as customer have not leave the shop, we have the right to accept or reject the good.

This is true.

They cannot force u to take "defective" goods.

Its whether the shop accepts your credit card anot. Like for Machines , they only accept certain cards like Citibank for installment. That also u need to buy the Applecare.

For samsung, i am not sure but i am sure they only accept certain cards.

Even senheng charges a certain admin charge. Those that are zero interest are mostly very short period like 6 mths.

Come on la, certain banks only charge 3% one time fee to convert to 24 mths installment. For a 3k item, that is only 90 bucks.
*
Regardless.

getting charged is a no go for me. If the shop dont do installments for your card, always use a card that the bank allows for conversion to installment at zero charge. Otherwise just pay.

On another note, when I wanted to pay for a car using the CC, the shop insist on a 3% charge for swiping above RM5000, i threaten to report them to the Association of Banks and they waived the charges.

/sorry for takign this offtopic.

powerangah could you update first page with things to do when getting new phone for easy reference? Steps like how to check screen tint/bleed, important buttons and shortcuts.

Much appreciated.

What red tint?

Its a new function to save your eyes... dont u know blue light stresses your eyes... these days going red is all the rage man. Get a decent monitor, click on reading mode, and suddenly its all red...

Just saw the S8 at Curve. Surprisingly very small and narrow. Compared to S7 Edge the 8+ seems just nice . S8 is fitting for S7 flat users.
*
Yes, the phone physical size is small, but due to the edges, thin bezel, the screen % is huge, even the S8 itself is comparable to my Note5

Dont be fooled. It is not scratch proof.

Even sands can scratch that. It is still glass.

When phones get sapphire as main screen then screen protectors will be useless.

My watch is sapphire glass... it STILL gets scratches...

But not many can fork out RM3,699 cash.  innocent.gif  I think that's another issue.  biggrin.gif

For those who cannot fork out 3.7k cash....

Then pls buy a cheaper phone, this is not a critical purchase... if dont have these amount cash in pocket... there are more important issues then a mobile phone.. sweat.gif
