Ok, good. Glad to have new TS taking over. We used to take turn to become TS back then in Samsung Note series official thread. New TS bring new info and new layout and will give the first few posts a refreshing new look. Wondering whether any other official thread still have this awesome tradition.

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.

yes, it's same with pre-order one..
quite sad that samseng treat their Pre-oder customer like that..
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..
*
Please send message to their official FB account demanding th same discount be offered. I already did so. tongue.gif Hopefully enough of us making noise will make them give the same offer.


QUOTE(Max2006 @ Apr 27 2017, 11:52 AM)
It's for 200+200 = 400, for Klang Valley road show.  Not sure why they separate it to 200 each in the table though.
*
My guess is maybe divided into morning and afternoon session?

IMO, pre-order is much convenient since you can just relax and sit tight in home/office and click. 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.
*
this must definitely be SME's PR. laugh.gif Dun forget we will still do the same wake up early and drive, traffic jam, park and queue up with the crowds for the collection from the store if you pre-order from SME.

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 flood their FB message box. bruce.gif


QUOTE(Max2006 @ Apr 27 2017, 12:03 PM)
Haha. It depends bro. You can still choose certain branch which don't have much crowds, go collect at certain non-peak hours which don't have much people to queue up. tongue.gif
*
I think most of us dun have much choice to select which branch to collect from since most of us will not know which branch has the most crowd and will always choose the most convenience store to collect. biggrin.gif

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.
*
I think even if money is not a problem, it might not be easy to on the spot hand in their phone as there will be a lot of stuff inside one's phone nowadays, always need to backup first. hmm.gif

So phone is like a status liao. So many people using iPhone nowadays. No wonder government say naik 8% GST should not be a problem.
*
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

Eh smart phone can claim meh?
But "user friendly" is very personal. To my, transfering a single files or music need to use iTune, it's not friendly at all laugh.gif
*
yes, smartphone can claim. So do keep the receipt.

But bosses running big business dun need to transfer files or music. They just take call, whatsapp and read/reply email. While on business trip, take some photos. That's all, even the wallpaper/ringtone is stock. sweat.gif

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.

So differences between preorder and roadshow is preorder user get 1 year free screen replacement and roadshow user get 1 extra usb type C cable and able to purchase gear vr and 360 camera with 50% off.
*
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.

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Apr 28 2017, 10:37 AM)
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.
*
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

Yesterday i did notice someone posted the complaint in their FB. Not sure if it was you. But last night it seems they already removed that complaint, exactly around the time when they removed the roadshow link.
*
I PM them, so that's not me. tongue.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

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

Why so butthurt?

Don't troll this thread by discussing apple.

no, my butt not hurt, just sharing my view of "simple minded" ppl to you. laugh.gif No trolling intended as we are discussing S8 here.

Luckily today Friday, after 3 days long weekend, we will be just 2 days to S8/S8+. rclxm9.gif Finally a worthy upgrade to my aging Note 3. thumbup.gif

QUOTE(BBXiong @ Apr 28 2017, 02:21 PM)
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

Confirm with SME staff there when you were there?

how to pester? using keyboard warrior skill and post-bomb their facebook?

even so, must gather many cyber-warrior.

someone needs to organize this to be efektif.
*
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
