I dont normally jump into arguments, but this is seriously getting out of hands. Almost 2 pages talking about which discount has more worth?

crazycrazymanobvious sees lower price as better option, since the price drop is compared against RRP, and for people that dont need the freebies, obviously lower price is better, and warranty is like insurance. some people think insurance is a must have, while some doesnt even have insurance and still feel ok about it.

I get what Velocity is saying about the feebies having values, and lemme quote something

Sure, but selling something that is probably RM199(or less ) worth of stuff at a RM399 RRP is also a gimmic. You calculations are all based on RRP, the price that no one would want to buy from samsung.

Also let's take S8 as example here, he gets 10% discount, which is RM300, in your case, you buy from RRP 3299, with freebies etc etc. He sells at 2.5k, I can bet the most you can sell also 2.8k, cos, let's look at the freebies. One clear SP, one clear case ( both offer almost no protection ), wireless charger( old model ), and additional one year warranty that by the time you sell is probably having one year left, and no more screen crack protection? So end of the day, you sell RM300 extra compared to him, but then again, he bought the phone Rm300 cheaper. It's basically the same right? Even if you sell slightly higher, 100 more compared to him, that's also a minor amount compared to the 'huge value' that you are talking about.

I see you also editing some part of your statement on the 3 years thing that Andrewtst talked about. Ok sure, nice cover there. But calling names and being rude is really uncalled for. If your statement is so solid in the first place, reply them with your thoughts and convince them, not calling them name and criticizing someone having poor math etc.

I believed you are a great person for willing to organize the clear coat discount sales for us, but I think i'll reconsider my opinion of you right now.

you forgot powerbank too bro.
but what you said is basically what i said too earlier.
in the absolute end, both are about the same value. Only difference is where that value is placed. One is placed on freebies, the other is placed on a discounted phone. and in the absolute end, both can coup back almost the same amount if they were to resell their phones or whatnot. The difference is not even more than rm100, its not like you will get rich from choosing one over the other. So just enjoy the phone instead of getting into silly little nitty gritty things. Same opinion goes to those worried about Galaxy S8 A that doesnt have 100% colour values compared to Galaxy S8 B. If you are happy and satisfied with YOUR Galaxy S8, dont go and compare with another Galaxy S8 because then you will never be truly satisfied as there definitely will be discrepancies in the screens.

i guess its good for on the go travelling etc. More so since mine is S8 and not S8+. I believe S8+ can get around 6-7 hours OST while S8 manages about 4-5.

at first I also undervalue that powerbank. But now I think back, its a usb c powerbank. So its definitely better than my other powerbanks at home because I would not need to carry that tiny adapter around, which may get lost or something and its an inconvenience to use an adapter (unless you are Apple and you think adapters and dongles are brilliant  )

but yeah, all my powerbanks are micro USB so this new usb c powerbank is great for me

no lah, the powerbank is definitely a good addition, but yeah sure it has quick charge, but end of the day it's a 5k mah powerbank. I had a xiaomi 5k last time that I gave to my gf, it charges relatively fast, and I have 2 more 10k pb to standby and charge in rotation, so i dont see much value compared to say wireless charger which should be quite syok to use ( for show off in office )

also, actually meant to type powerbank one, but forgot to mention about it in the freebies part

only if he's interested in both, or the gear 360. If he's only interested in the gear VR, he can get it at around same price without queue, cos the VR discount is just RM250. Depends if you time is worth RM50 or not. IMO i'll skip the roadshow so that my time are better spent somewhere not queueing up

How to check manufacturing date?

how to?

April 18th  

guys do this too, for scientific research!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/...inning-t3596434

CL0 is little cores, CL1 big cores, G3D is the GPU.

come list down your CLO-CL1-GD3 values + phone model whether s8 or s8+.

mine is, 5-6-4 S8

bro -3 is still abit reddish but ez on the eye, if u wan no red can try click 3 >>>>> it will be -9 

if got rainbow effect, means got gap between the TG and screen izit? if so, will have touch sensitivity issue right? 

Mine is manufactured 20 April.
Even with patch and red correction, still got red on upper edge. Slightly annoying but for normal use should be okay lah.
Without the red correction (setting at 0), it looks really pure red!
Hahaha

mine 18 april too

you are using the devil's phone!

hahah jokes aside, read that thread its interesting

supposedly higher value = better battery life..

so far all s8+ have higher value compared to s8..

but between same model, different phone get different values too..
you can look at that poll and see what the average values are..

idk to believe or not as idk about this stuff in the first place.. maybe others can chip in

mine is /08/

according to that link is made in germany??

cannot be right, i thought all are made in korea

where??

Most of SME sets were manufactured in Vietnam. it's been like that since years ago. Dunno why you feel sad.

well iphone is made in china.. no diff bah.

i don't think red tint got to do with where it was manufactured as it seems 2/3 devices has some sort of red tint issue...

didnt check as someone mentioned sme sets are from vietnam..

and of course ori la we are first batch
