My Note 7 had a very hard time with my specs.... I just use the fingerprint sensor, but it is so slow you wonder
can it be a flagship. My current sub 1k Xiaomi fingerprint sensor really fast.
Except for the "infinity" display and marginally better camera, to me nothing to shout about.
A note 8 will be more useful, at least with a pen that's really usable difference and not just eye candy.
Yes, so easy
Yes, happened to me 2x. Loss all my files, especially all my holiday photos in Japan  vmad.gif
Suggest regular backups no matter what brand SD card

So you will skip S8??

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.
*
Don't doubt malaysian buying power,
3699 is still cheaper,
if 4299 they might think twice
sure sold out

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

Some of the corporate lines, they do get blackberry for free last time
After that telco change and give free iPhone until now
My workplace also all the bosses using iphone
I dont get it because I always change phone vmad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

Citibank have Citibank FlexiPayment Plan.

Step 1:
Make a purchase of at least RM500 with your credit card.
Step 2:
Select the purchase you wish to convert to FlexiPayment Plan and decide on the repayment tenure.
Step 3:
Call 03-2383 0000 (Kuala Lumpur), 04-296 0000 (Penang), 07-268 0000 (Johor Bahru) or 1800 82 1010 (Sabah & Sarawak) anytime, any day to convert your transactions.
Step 4:
And it's done! Your first instalment will be shown in your next statement.

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

Agree,
If got 50% discount.. might get vr too
Unlucky for preorder, we did not get
So it's ok, $250 buy casing lor... rclxms.gif

Samsung's latest flagships - the Galaxy S8 and S8+ - might have broken many previous records, but the picture is not all rosy. The devices have had their share of problems as well. First it was the red-tint issue (for which the company recently issued an update), and now, it has come to light that the phones are randomly restarting for some.
Since last week, several users have detailed their experience on the tech giant's US community page as well as the XDA forums. While some are blaming the microSD card, others are pointing fingers at the lock or Always-On Display screen. The device's power save feature is being blamed in some cases as well.

So, no clarity on the root cause as of now, but the problem definitely seems to be there given the number of complaints. For its part, Samsung hasn't yet provided any comment on the issue. We'll monitor the situation and update you as and when we hear more on the matter.

orchid grey is sexy but the frame spoiling the color harmony. black is all black which very suitable for pro.

yeah... agree with you
no problem smudge because I the only person will hold my phone
I know my hand, and we are going to used clear coat or casing after all
And black also easier to sell when N8 preorder rclxms.gif icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif
