So far only 11Street delivering early? How about the other official sellers?

And why are they more exclusive than the official Samsung distribution channel?

Today I just asked a Samsung shop salesperson. He told me that pre-ordered phones can be collected on 4/5, and general public can buy the phones on 5/5. This gives those who pre-ordered one day bragging right.

Hi TS, please add the following info into the first page for the potential buyers' convenience. Thank you.


1. Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ media conference will be held on 4th May. Venue is unknown at this moment, but most likely Sunway Pyramid/Midvalley/KLCC.


2. Roadshow (early birds promotion)

http://www.samsung.com/my/offer/s8-s8plus-roadshows/


3. Trade-up campaign

http://www.samsung.com/my/offer/s8-s8plus-tradeup/



Not sure why this time KLCC is excluded from the roadshow. It's a bummer since KLCC is much easier for access.

I'm guessing Samsung trying to kill 2 birds with a stone. Are they trying to clear the old stock because the newer 360 is coming soon?

Opps... it seem like the picture shown on the offer page was the newer version (handheld) but Samsung Malaysia don't even have a page for it yet. Let's see if it's the newer version.

previously when note 5 launch the time we did ask the pri but this shop treat it as like those ah beng shop with samsung logo the price stated excluding inspection so it might go even lower than that. Same like website say RM700 for note 3.

I think the extended warranty + the screen crack replacement were the best thing among other accessories. Good that the warranty is not included in the roadshow sale at least we got something different smile.gif.

So kiasu meh... like this how to get more freebies...
Should make them consider 2 years warranty as standard given the price. Then they would include other freebies like gear vr or dex ma.

to get the warranty you just need pay RM249

What you get from the roadshow is you no need to rush for their limit allocation

It's really up to you. Pre-order is just reserving a slot for your desired phone. Not necessary must include extra, hence we called it freebies. Regardless of what you think, Samsung still need the crowd for launching day.

In Processing...

Probably will change status on 3th or 4th when it really start shipping. I'm guessing they will use LEX. I wonder if LEX is a collaboration with poslaju. I'm seeing a lot of LEX in my office area here in KIP.

If one get the 360 + Gear VR at half price, then the saving of about RM750 is much more than the free warranty upgrade of RM249. bangwall.gif

Maybe we should pester SME at Facebook to get the same promo.

have u bought stuff from Shoppu before?

i recently ordered a watch from Shoppu but i didnt receive the item after a week.
so i called up Shoppu to check. then they said they need to check with the merchant and promised to call me back.
i waited for half a day, no call from them.
so i called up Shoppu again, they said the merchant just told them the item was out of stock, so could not fulfill my order. requested my credit card number for refund purpose, told me the refund will take 7 - 14 working days starting from the day i called in.

high risk to buy expensive stuff from Shoppu sweat.gif

I have ordered mine from Shoppu. Was apprehensive earlier but then realized its an online startup from AEON and that was enough for me
for me, flat discount of 300 mattered more, since i wont have much use with the wireless charger or the puny powerbank.
Deal breaker was the screen warranty only within the first year

Not sure why this time KLCC is excluded from the roadshow. It's a bummer since KLCC is much easier for access.

kinda sad and feel unfair that the roadshow freebies & 50% discount given is as good as those Pre-order..
actually i wanna buy the Gear360 also..

Any one here going to queue at Sunway Pyramid ?
can tumpang buy Gear360 ?

Actually what can we do with Gear VR? Is it useful? Can I watch movie with it?

If use for 360, I found only kpop and porn able to provide the high resolution to make it worthwhile. You will still see plenty of black dots on clear background.

If movies, I find it tiring. But if you can get 3d movies, then its worth it. I never watch 3d before hence I find it awesome. Haha...

coz few days ago met in an accident, now realize it important to have a cam-recorder in car when driving,
so this 360 degress video recorder is perfect,

Read a review about it. Personally I think the quality is so so. The old one has higher mp but they said it struggle to stitch photo correctly. The picture has to click in to see the 360. I wonder why they can't make it like a wide panaroma, instead it had really weird preview pic.

For RM999, better buy go pro.

IMO, pre-order is much convenient since you can just relax and sit tight in home/office and click, and wait for delivery or self collect at your own convenience. While the road show you need to wake up early and drive, traffic jam, park and queue up with the crowds. Not to mention that the early bird promotion is very limited. So if compare each pros and cons, pre-order offer is still better than roadshow offer.

But for my case:-
1. Shoppu did not update their website when the item was already out of stock, that's why my order went through.
2. Nobody took initiative to update me when the item could not be processed. the order status only shows "processing". if I did not call Shoppu after 1 week, Shoppu wouldn't do anything too. I don't know it is the merchant's fault or Shoppu's fault.
3. Shoppu's customer service officer at first said the refund would take 7-14 working days starting from the day I called in, not from the day that I ordered the item. Today the customer service officer said 14-21 working days. u know 21 working days is a month long right? sad.gif

Tell u my first experience with Shoppu, I bought one SSD HDD there but after 3rd days they emailed me & said the price is WRONG & I needed to top up in order to get the product deliver. U know what I did? I replied them & said please cancel my order immediately & refund to me, I'll contact KPDNKK & publish this incident to FB. Few hours later then they replied & said order is processed & no top up needed. doh.gif

So what's my story telling u? Give them pressure & keep chasing for the refund will do the job. I think may be in a week u'll get back ur refund if u do so. Call them & say want to talk to their supervisor no matter what...

i standby at their website 2 hours before pre-order open..

at least samseng should open up the 50% discount for Pre-order customer also..

This round of pre-order really kinda sucks.

Freebies almost the same as those early birds and the worst is we only get it one day earlier.

Please la... if you preorder, guarantee freebies. You want to try be first 200? Obviously Samsung is trying to buy your time while at the same time making you part with more money for some gimmicky stuffs.

Nope. If you follow the pics and description, it's also available in roadshow.

However, they do not mention what's the procedure during the road show.

Can't remember too well. All I remember was 50% off for second unit. They formed a queue outside on of the entrance. When door opened, those late one rushed in. Those in queue couldn't get. Those who didn't get ended up begging Samsung to let them get it. Finally Samsung released 100 more for the same promo.

Oh I remember that! Note 5 right?

http://www.soyacincau.com/2015/08/28/get-t...-on-launch-day/

Ya. Despite of the chaos, it's a good old time where Samsung was so generous to give 50% off for the 2nd unit.

Pre order got the best deal.

This offer at sunway roadshow not really attractive.

And at rm3299 /3699. I doubt first 400 would be sold out.

I know well the amount of lose. What I said was it's a fast option for people who can't wait, or lazy to sell to other people, especially those who have impulsive to buy on the spot after they look and touch the device in roadshow. And believe me. There's lot of people will opt for this if financial/budget is not a problem for them.

But it is quite true coz Iphone is more "user-friendly". All my 4 bosses (young and old) use Iphone, they were using Blackberry previously. Most of the other office staff are using Android. My wife's work place also same. hmm.gif

There was once one of my older (65 years old) boss's Iphone spoilt and because Samsung was hot that time (can't remember which model - maybe S7E or Note 5), he asked his PA to buy one for him. After using for few hours, he ask her to go buy Iphone instead and pass the Samsung to her. laugh.gif

2500 lifestyle tax exemption for next year.. (including buying phone, laptop, book, badminton racket...)
depend on your tax bracket..
if your tax rate is 16% then 2500 x 16% = 400
so u pay 400 lesser tax..

when s9 release, sell the s8 at 2700,
2700 + 400 + top up few hundred then can get s9 again..
then claim next year tax agian.. continue the looping until government take away the lifestyle tax exemption..

so just pay few hundred every year, u got to use the latest flagship, change new 1 every year..
cheaper than shitty Maxis zerolution...

The reason that pushes me to get the phone is that the GPS in my phone is not working well. I need the GPS to move around.

Service center quoted me 1.2k to replace the motherboard which is insanely high.

Another option is to get a cheaper phone for GPS purpose only but I'll need to carry 2 devices which is too much of a hassle.

Service center said it's motherboard issue. It's been few days. It just suddenly stopped working. I was using it fine last week.

Did all the steps, hard reset, soft reset, reflash to Marshmallow, reflash to Nougat.

The GPS is working partially. Meaning it can detech your current location so using Uber and Grab is still okay. But Maps and Waze totally not working. Unable to lock position. Even with those GPS test or fix apps also cannot fix.

I've no idea. Defect or no defect, once warranty is over you'll be on your own rclxub.gif I heard there's a lot of people facing the GPS issue on both Note 5 and S7. I checked them out in lowyat forum here too but no solution.

I guess the issue just happens randomly to some people. Sigh.

Why worry if someone encountered a gps problem on their phone (its not even an S8)?

Yes but it can only be self collected by the 5th.

It will arrive to buyers on May 3 or 4 for delivery.

Define common.

Common to those phones? I didn't see any news site reported the issue. Nor a reddit post about it to become a "gate" worthy problem.

Or common to duck only or a few lyn member?

I got 4 coworkers who uses an s7e and their s7e are fine. I wouldn't dismiss any issue encountered by other people on their s7e because different phones are not perfectly built or used the same. But i wouldn't worry about it either just because a handful of people encountered it.

Errr maybe I gave xatu a misconception when I said "a lot" of people getting this cause when I ask about it a lot of people responded. But that could be like 10 people out of millions or billions of users sweat.gif So my bad here.

Anyway I am just unlucky. So I am just gonna move on to S8.

if i cancel order and ask for refund then i can't complain much la.

But for my case:-
1. Shoppu did not update their website when the item was already out of stock, that's why my order went through.
2. Nobody took initiative to update me when the item could not be processed. the order status only shows "processing". if I did not call Shoppu after 1 week, Shoppu wouldn't do anything too. I don't know it is the merchant's fault or Shoppu's fault.
3. Shoppu's customer service officer at first said the refund would take 7-14 working days starting from the day I called in, not from the day that I ordered the item. Today the customer service officer said 14-21 working days. u know 21 working days is a month long right?  sad.gif

Service center said it's motherboard issue. It's been few days. It just suddenly stopped working. I was using it fine last week.

Did all the steps, hard reset, soft reset, reflash to Marshmallow, reflash to Nougat.

The GPS is working partially. Meaning it can detech your current location so using Uber and Grab is still okay. But Maps and Waze totally not working. Unable to lock position. Even with those GPS test or fix apps also cannot fix.
*
try this:
on dialer, dial *#9090#
you will see a service menu
press on top right corner, "enter key input", press insert 'Q', then press ok
"enter key input" again, press 0000, and press ok
wait for few seconds, up to 10 seconds
you will now see a secret service menu
now, go to UTMS -> COMMON -> NV_REBUILD -> NV_REBUILD -> SYSTEM,PROTOCOL,GPS,IMS
Reboot your phone, try GPS again with GPS Test app.

this will force the software to clear cache and rebuild the software from the original code, sorta like a 'flush all the clogs in the software' feature. It will not cause any loss on user setting, files, apps and is not a hard reset.
My Note 3 running on custom firmware also faced a similar issue, and I knew for sure it's a software problem, and this helped me getting back my GPS signal back, a very strong one I must add, accuracy highest at 3meters, and averages around 10-13meters range

also, for those that was saying the early bird promo is similar. Do they also get the powerbank and the extra warranty? If not, we get extra ~RM300 value ( PB i put estimated gain of RM50 if you sell it off lah, since it's over priced anyway )

Those people are mad not because of the similar promotion, they are fustrated because they envy those walk in customers who can get 50% on Vr & Gear 360.

And yes, the early birds also get free powerbank as well.

yeah it startled me a little to see GearVR and Gear360 is on 50% off, let's see if pre-order units can get the same discount as well. If yes, I'm definitely getting the gear vr. With battery life like S8, it finally make sense to watch movies etc on it. Not to mention, HDR display means i can use it for HDR content with gear vr thumbup.gif

Too bad the TOS stated to get the 50% discount it has to be purchased during the same day at the same location.

I must say it looks so nice when u hold it. At first s8 looks kinda small and i started to worry since i pre order a unit for my wifw thru maxis. But when the shop lady showed her unit with a clear case on, it fits just right to her hand.

The secret service menu doesn't pop up after I key in "Q" and then "0000". Is it locked or something or only works on specific devices?

The secret menu never comes out now matter I try with "QO", "Q0000" or "Q" then "0000".

Tried the same thing with *#0011# and *#9090# cry.gif

EDIT: Rooted my phone and installed the "Phone info Samsung" apps. Managed to access to the secret service menu through the app and found NV Rebuild. Did that and it didn't help on the GPS issue sweat.gif

HDR or not, not really a problem with gear vr. The ppi is not there yet. It is really pixelated (unless you get S8 which I think should be better since it had higher ppi, close to my S6e).

Bought one along with both my cousins. Really not much use. Will you use it for movies? Probably at first. Then it sort of fade away. If 3D movies, yeah, better than buying a 3D tv. It's not that fun to wear for long period even in air conditioned environment.

I dont think it is too long since i got quite a big hand. But what the lady told was also true, its kinda difficult to operate it with one hand and u wont be easily reaching the fingerprint scanner at the back as well. If it is me, ill take s8plus, but since this is for my other half, s8 wuld be just fine for her

Like the summary he put is literally the opposite of the quote he included.

His summary : Red tint cannot be fixed. It's a defect.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ screen replacement to cost dearly

Yordan 26 April 2017 Samsung Android
The Galaxy S8+ is one gorgeous device and that Infinity screen plays no small part of that. However, it's also a very expensive piece so you better be careful with it - the replacement are going to be more expensive than ever.


If you manage to break it, replacing the display at an authorized repair center will set you back €250. That is 25% higher than the Galaxy S7 edge where the screen costed €200 to be replaced.


This means you better have a firm grip or a nice case because sometimes the Gorilla Glass 5 won't be enough. And if you are particularly clumsy, you might want to invest in one of those insurance programs.

Samsung Galaxy S8 (Verizon/unlocked) currently going for under $700 in US

Himanshu 27 April 2017 Samsung Android Deals
If you are planning to purchase Samsung's latest flagship (the Galaxy S8), you'll be glad to know that the device is currently available at discounted rates in the country. Specifically, the Verizon/unlocked variant is currently going for under $700 - $699.99.


eBay retailer alldayzip (a Top Rated Plus retailer) is offering the handset at that price. If you compare, that's a discount of $56 given that Verizon is officially selling the phone for $756.

As of writing, the listing says more than 91% of the stock has been sold, and only Midnight Black color option is available (rest all are out of stock). So, those interested in availing the deal may have to act really fast.

it's interesting how some people took the word right out of your mouth when u wanted to reply them =D

Different production batch would cause different colour characteristic, typically with LCD it is minimal, but it seem like it would affect AMOLED more. Obviously since they are the same display, only one factory colour calibration setting is used, which causes some other batches to have different white point. This is common even in bigger monitors like Dell ultra sharp series. Even iPhone has 2 screen tone on certain models, one being warmer than the other. All they need to do is a way to id the panel batch and use another calibration setting that will make the white point consistent, or give us 2 colour profile for us to choose, depending on the panel characteristic

I have ordered mine from Shoppu. Was apprehensive earlier but then realized its an online startup from AEON and that was enough for me
for me, flat discount of 300 mattered more, since i wont have much use with the wireless charger or the puny powerbank.
Deal breaker was the screen warranty only within the first year

All screen warranty only first year, 2 year extended warranty does not cover screen replacement

u can find US people review the Gear360 in youtube,
quite alot of good comment, but provided u like to shoot video and post it online..
Actually i buy it mainly use for Car Driving Recorder,
coz few days ago met in an accident, now realize it important to have a cam-recorder in car when driving,
so this 360 degress video recorder is perfect,
when going vacation, can bring it out too..
*
If for in car recording, better just get a dash cam as 24/7 recording a Gear 360 file is going to be big and a hassle to clear it everyday. Plus, if 360 you're going to see yourself too in the recording, not just the road, lol

2500 lifestyle tax exemption for next year.. (including buying phone, laptop, book, badminton racket...)
depend on your tax bracket..
if your tax rate is 16% then 2500 x 16% = 400
so u pay 400 lesser tax..

when s9 release, sell the s8 at 2700,
2700 + 400 + top up few hundred then can get s9 again..
then claim next year tax agian.. continue the looping until government take away the lifestyle tax exemption..

so just pay few hundred every year, u got to use the latest flagship, change new 1 every year..
cheaper than shitty Maxis zerolution...
*
Tell me what flagship phone can sell at RM2700 after 1 year? People are selling their S7Edge (SRP RM3099) however nowadays can get RM2500 for a new one. No way you can sell it for RM2700 this time next year. Probably RM2000 maybe

So no need go roadshow now and no limit on the freebies? ranting.gif

QUOTE(The Star)
To kick off the sale of the much-awaited Galaxy S8 and S8+ flagship smartphones, Samsung Malaysia Electronics will be having a three-day roadshow in Sunway Pyramid (Klang Valley), Queensbay Mall (Penang) and Sutera Mall (Johor Bahru) from May 5 to 7.

During this period, every purchase of the flagship smartphones will come with a Limited Edition Starter Kit consisting of a clear cover, screen protector, wireless charger stand, USB Type-C cable and compact 5,100mAh battery pack.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it to the roadshow as the promo will also be offered at all of its 76 Samsung Experience Stores (SES) nationwide.

The main attraction of the new smartphones are the screens – the S8 sports a 5.8in display while its bigger sibling, the S8+, has a 6.2in display.

Both the smartphones have a 12-megapixel Dual Pixel rear camera with f/1.7 lens and an 8-megapixel front camera with Smart autofocus for sharper selfies.

Samsung claims the mobile phones are the first to feature a 10nm processor that is not only fast but also power efficient.

The phones feature three types of biometric security – facial recognition, iris scanner and fingerprint reader.

Customers who purchase the Galaxy S8 or S8+ will also be eligible for 50% discount on the new Gear VR with Controller (RM499 before discount) and Gear 360 (RM999).

Samsung will also have a trade up campaign for buying the Galaxy S8 and S8+ but at this point it’s not clear which old phones it will be accepting or the value of the rebate offered.

The company will also be demonstrating the Samsung Dex, a dock for the Galaxy S8/S8+ that turns the smartphone into a desktop computer so you can access apps, browse the Web and more on a bigger screen.

The Dex, which will only be arriving on our shores in June, is priced at RM459.

I hope the 50% off is also applicable to us the pre-order customers. I am interested with 360

I already read through the roadshow link before it was taken down. If I remember correctly, we only can get the free starter kit + 50% off PWP exclusively in roadshow. For the store purchasing, only powerbank will be given. Not sure why Star claimed that everyone can get the same deal even he/she miss the roadshow. Need to wait for SME official announcement to further confirm.

I also read the roadshow link before. Doesn't seem to be as what The Star has claimed but the link is down now. Could be updating new info. Let's see if it's true or it's just false info to bait more people into buying.

I think the type-c cable is inside the starter kit. Looking at the news report, most likely we will be offered the same 50% discount if we were want to buy the 2 gadgets.

Maybe now they have enough stock just arrived, so want to clear all. Since even selling at 50%, they will make tonnes of money too. innocent.gif

But the Star might report the wrong thing too. rolleyes.gif

If the freebies is offered to all, I guess they will have lots of stock, so most likely I will go collect my pre-order after works instead of rushing during lunch hour. Can take time check carefully and more time play with it. biggrin.gif

Regarding the question of "duos" on the back, it seems that KLGadget guy posted a review last night. Assuming that SME set already ready in the store, then their unit could be the retail unit (not 100% sure though).



Apparently, there's no "duos" on the back.

Btw, I think this is the first time they bashed on Samsung phone. Not sure why. Anyway, those shortcomings already mentiond for many time in the past. So nothing new here.

Indeed. Furthermore, this is also a good move to gain back the confidence and loyalty from the Samsung users. After the Note 7 fiasco, they need more people to buy the S8 to prove that their product is completely safe & reliable now. In order to do that, a great deal is a must to boost up the sales. Giving everyone the same deal could be be a very effective measure. Let's wait and see if Samsung is able to sort it out and make everyone happy in the end. brows.gif

So you are guessing. But I think it's also possible that they could be receiving a SME set before the sales.

First they pissed off the Note7 PRE ORDER owner, then they pissed off the S8 PRE ORDER owner to praise other potential S8 buyer. Not sure if you would call this a good move. Maybe good to you, but it is definitely a bad one for the company.

yes, the next Note 8 pre-order will get luke warm response if they give the same freebies without discount.

IIRC, Samsung did mention they will give 50% discount to the Note 7 users for the Note 8. That was few months ago, dunno is official or they were just considering that time. Dunno why some big company's customer service always bad - maybe they always put cost as the top priority rather than looking at the overall company image - like the recent UA case. sweat.gif

Honestly, I don't think it's possible. They even put a very high price tag on their refurbished Note 7. Don't think they will be so generous on the Note 8 sales.

Folks, the roadshow page is back now.

https://www.samsung.com/my/offer/s8-s8plus-roadshows/

The offer is still the same with the previous one. And it's different with what The Star claimed before. Looks like the promotion will only limited to the roadshow.


From samsung page:

QUOTE
Terms and Conditions of Participation

    The above promotions are available only during the Promotion Period at the Event only.  The Free Gifts and/or the PWP Promotional Items are on first come first served basis and while stocks last.



On the other hand, The Star said:

QUOTE
Don’t worry if you can’t make it to the roadshow as the promo will also be offered at all of its 76 Samsung Experience Stores (SES) nationwide.
So, which one is the correct one? doh.gif



Conclusion:

http://www.soyacincau.com/2017/04/28/samsu...show-promotion/

QUOTE
The roadshows are happening from 5-7 May 2017 between 10AM to 10PM at Sunway Pyramid, Queensbay Mall Penang and Sutera Mall in Johor Bahru. For those outside of the Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Bahru, Samsung is giving away a free battery pack for in-store purchases while stocks last.



So ya. Everything is still remain the same as before. Roadshow buyers will get starter kit + powerbank + PWP discount. While the in-store buyers will only get powerbank.


Edit: The trade-up page also back online.

First come first serve. If the first 400 units sold out on 5th May, then no more free starter kit for 6th May buyers.

Folks, the roadshow page is back now.

https://www.samsung.com/my/offer/s8-s8plus-roadshows/

The offer is still the same with the previous one. And it's different with what The Star claimed before. Looks like the promotion will only limited to the roadshow.
From samsung page:
On the other hand, The Star said:
So, which one is the correct one? doh.gif
Conclusion:

http://www.soyacincau.com/2017/04/28/samsu...show-promotion/
So ya. Everything is still remain the same as before. Roadshow buyers will get starter kit + powerbank + PWP discount. While the in-store buyers will only get powerbank.
Edit: The trade-up page also back online.

S8 is smaller than note 7 so technically it could work.

guys, S8 demo unit is up on Samsung stores. Just went to have a feel if it. Definitely top notch build, everything feels solid, and the edge screen isn't as curved as S7, so it's easier to handle. Overall not bad at all. They literally put out the unit minutes before i arrive, and still setting up the whole table to move their A9 pro 2017 somewhere else to put more S8, Gear VR and Gear360 is not out yet as per lunch hour, so cant comment on those. Sad that PO phones isn't eligible for the half price discount for GearVR, otherwise i'd sweep one home

most banks should have EPP service. Just pay first and contact bank to convert your purchase to EPP. Sometimes you will receive a sms to opt for EPP. Good luck.

From what I know, a friend of mine said Lowyat is up, and I myself tried it on 1u, I think other stores should have their demo unit up by now. Judging now some 11street customer are offered to have their delivery earlier, I bet malaysia retail unit just arrived yesterday and they just received it this morning. The staff still said camera is not allowed to be used yet, not sure why, but youtube app seem to just randomly shut itself down when i am doing search. We might see first week firmware update to improve system stability.

it's 1U. Anyway I still feel it's decent, at least we get the 1 year extended warranty. You can argue that the roadshow gets better discount, but only applicable if you get both the GearVR and the Gear360. For people that only wants the phone, PO still brings better value, at least that's how I see it. Personally if I can get 50% off i'll definitely get the GearVR, but on the fence for Gear360, cos I'm not too sure if I'll use it often.

only? So will u buy the GearVR and the Gear360?

also, if u didnt PO, u also need to go samsung store to buy the unit, which ended up being the same where u need time, petrol, parking to get your phone, and you need to queue this time. I fail to see your logic.

Or you can pre order through Telco. They are the second best alternative and some telco (Digi in my case) will Courier the phone to you, the only catch is that it locks your contract for 24months. Personally I will omit Senheng/lazada/11street/etc for that after the Note 7 fiasco. They are simply not up to the mark to handle it if anything bad happened.

yes, just do whatever you are comfortable to. Can also call their customer service hotline I think. At least we make some noise lah.

But for me is not a big deal, since the most I will save RM250 buying the GearVR. If they do not give us the 50% discount, I will definitely not splurging RM500 on that piece of plastic. laugh.gif so they just lose RM250 sales. biggrin.gif

yes, just do whatever you are comfortable to.  Can also call their customer service hotline I think.  At least we make some noise lah.

But for me is not a big deal, since the most I will save RM250 buying the GearVR.  If they do not give us the 50% discount, I will definitely not splurging RM500 on that piece of plastic.  laugh.gif  so they just lose RM250 sales.  biggrin.gif

I'm with you on this. If i get 50% discount, I'll buy, otherwise, no thanks.

The way I see it, if you get GearVR, you get same 'cash value' as pre-order, and u only get more discount if you get the Gear360 ( BTW what's the price for this? ). We dont need to queue, while even at samsung store, i can bet that it would be super busy on launching day, especially for places that are further from roadshows, so you need to spend more time queuing to get your phone. Still acceptable for me anyways.

Don't know bro
That why I said needs to cal bank
They will told you what to do (T&C)

what I paste is to show that installment plan is exist
just needs to do confirmation with bank
If you agree, then proceed...

yeah this conversion normally has a 6-8% upfront charge one, if the shop offers IPP with 2-4% charges, better off taking that.

Agree. It is too naive when you think you can take advantage of bank. They got a whole team of financial analyst vs you. There is always the catch in their Terms and Conditions to protect their interest.

only? So will u buy the GearVR and the Gear360?

also, if u didnt PO, u also need to go samsung store to buy the unit, which ended up being the same where u need time, petrol, parking to get your phone, and you need to queue this time. I fail to see your logic.
*
for those who are interested in gear 360 and vr and know there's a discount they sure won't pre order
since buy both of them having 50% discount, around RM 750
during pre order only give extra 1 year warranty + 1 time screen replacement, which cost around RM 348
and why need to queue ? since confirmed got 50% discount for both gear vr and 360, unless you want to queue for free battery pack + starter kit then different story

QUOTE(yuhhaur @ Apr 28 2017, 03:06 PM)
Or you can pre order through Telco. They are the second best alternative and some telco (Digi in my case) will Courier the phone to you, the only catch is that it locks your contract for 24months. Personally I will omit Senheng/lazada/11street/etc for that after the Note 7 fiasco. They are simply not up to the mark to handle it if anything bad happened.
*
tied with contract still okay, if having lousy coverage also no point
meanwhile the best coverage is Maxis, but their plan are the most expensive

I think most of us just not happy that we were not offered the same discount, doesn't mean we will actually buy these 2 gadgets. biggrin.gif

Btw, Maxis is definitely going downhill these days, particularly in JB, the coverage is really bad. The data coverage was good at my workplace in industrial area few years old but since 2 years ago, always no data coverage, sometime even no line for phone call in meeting room. bangwall.gif Eventually me and most of my colleagues all change to U Mobile. Even my bosses is not happy and making the switch for our company's line. But but but.... they change to DiGi, shocking.gif which is yet another telco with lousy coverage in JB area. doh.gif

That's why I dun like purchase from Samsung website for preorder anymore after S7E.

Since Samsung open preorder for other business partners, I just purchased from 11Street with better discount & comes with 0% CC installment as well. Moreover, with cashback monthly CC u can enjoy more discounts for ur CC installment. I can save almost RM300 with this plus preorder treats. smile.gif

both have their pros and cons laugh.gif
but is good for those who buy during roadshow can have 50% discount for gear vr and 360 (if they interested as well)

as for telco coverage, nothing is best
even Maxis claim it is the best telco in Malaysia, but in some area in Klang Valley it also low signal (1 4G bar signal or switch to H/H+) sweat.gif
for Digi, totally no comment as I force my parents all switch to Maxis already, but I saw my friends who also stay in Klang Valley no complaint about Digi laugh.gif

Judging now some 11street customer are offered to have their delivery earlier, I bet malaysia retail unit just arrived yesterday and they just received it this morning.

IINM, Samsung did say the stock of Gear VR & 360 is limited and based on first come first serve basic as well. So some people may go to queue up for the sake of the PWP deal.

Telcos heavily dependent on one's location
At my place for past few years Celcom had strongest LTE and Maxis average while none for Digi n Umobile. This year however Digi is number one ( 90-100Mbps) vs Maxis ( 60-70 Mbps) n Celcom ( still unchanged at 30-40 Mbps). UMobile had started but weak n insignificant , more like 3g only.

Btw I had no interest in.the Gear VR m Gear360 stuffs and I don't feel bad at Samsung latest offers.

Roadshow confirmed gonna be packed for sure, but as I said earlier on my other post, I would expect samsung stores to be crowded as well since they offer 50% off for gear vr and gear 360. All that, and from your original post saying waste time petrol parking to go collect, buying from store on launch weekend itself also same wad

Nope bro. Samsung already specifically mentioned that 50% off offer is only available in roadshow. Samsung stores will only offer free powerbank. No more no less.

But then at the same time, confirm out of stock very quickly in every stores, and then everyone who left out will be raging here and there. It's a double edge sword. So from business perspective, it won't be a wise move if they also offer the exact same thing in stores. However, from customer's point of view, I do hope they offer the same deal lah. LOL.

I asked the collection point at JB, yes, can claim with photocopy IC coz I will be collect another S8+ pre-ordered under my wife's name. But you better call your collection point and double check.

Remember to bring the printed Pre-order confirmation and payment receipt too.

USD149.99 >> RM459, just slightly more than the wireless charger RM339 (the price they put on our FOC last gen charger). Can just buy to use as wireless charger. laugh.gif Even Spore is selling the latest leather wireless charger @ SGD118 (about RM365).

I dont think PO customers should rage that roadshows offer almost similar freebies. Those roadshows are only at 3 places and some more limited units. PO are guaranteed of those stuff.

But i do think it's a bit unfair that they don't offer the 50% discount to PO. Lol. But if they offer to PO, how they gonna control if the numbers are limited cause PO can collect a day earlier. Maybe they're afraid PO will tapau everything and no more stocks for roadshows. Haha.

maybe we can compile a list of people that want to buy, and people that will go get but dont want, then we can win win

anyway really topkek SME management..

11street gets to one up SME every single time.

1) they take pre-orders earlier than SME
2) they give better price (some get to use rm100 off coupon) than SME
2) now they deliver the phones even before SME launches.

for future pre-orders SME can go fuck off and die.

That's the marketing power. How do you think Samsung get people to show up for the press? I don't think po is losing out. Just that Samsung knew all too well how many will be interested to splash the cash for gear vr and 360. Just look at the depressed price for previous gen gear vr. Even at half price, I wouldn't buy at all given my previous experience with last generation. You definitely need 4K screen under 5.5 inch to be enjoying vr at all.

anyway really topkek SME management..

11street gets to one up SME every single time.

1) they take pre-orders earlier than SME
2) they give better price (some get to use rm100 off coupon) than SME
2) now they deliver the phones even before SME launches.

for future pre-orders SME can go fuck off and die.

I received an email from Senheng stated the collection date on 4th may, 11am

Only collecting at that time will be entitled for goodies bag

Now I wonder what is inside the goodies bag, hopefully its not the promised freebies eg wireless charger, pbank, otherwise i think senheng has fucked its customers

Give up your pre order and go buy from roadshow!

Nah i'd just sell the unit from roadshow and keep the extra benefits on POed device. One extra year and one time crack protection are something you can't ignore of.

I think it should be something other than the pre-order freebies.

Else it's really a goodies "bag"... LOL

Oh I see. I thought you are touching a SME set. Then good for you. We over here are still struggling to figure out which place to go to molest the phone. biggrin.gif

i dont see that point for you to be desperate to such extend. If you didnt pre order then u should if you did what da point?

Just wait till 4th and molest all you want. Go molest then need wait 6 days

Dude, I was just being sarcastic & joking to him. Don't know why you think I am desperated. Why always so serious le?

I didn't pre-order because it's not my original plan. Now my phone is having problem, so I decided to go for it and buy it from store. That's why I need to molest the phone in advance so that I can decide which color & which size to choose. As simple as that.

Even if one already pre-ordered, it's nothing wrong for one to go to see & touch the phone. As the matter of fact, I can noticed some pre-order owners in here already mentioned that they also want to see the phone first. Everyone has their own choice and it should not be bothered. So chill down bro. wink.gif

It's kind of expected since the stock just came in today and everything is still kelam kabut. I am sure more & more stores will have demo units either tomorrow or Sunday. laugh.gif
