What about S8 plus? Would it feel weird and too long when you hold it in hand? I am intersted on the plus due to the larger screen and larger battery.
*
Get the S8 Plus. It is just nice in the hand. In comparison with iPhone 7 Plus, it is narrower and just a tiny bit taller. Almost similar size to S7 Edge

1 noob question here,

Nowadays tempered glass screen protector can support curve screen like s7 edge or s8?
*
The latest technology for fully adhered Clear tempered glass for S8 Plus is here. (Not plastic film)
I have posted this before. You can never replace the feeling of smooth glass.

Demand > Supply. They are the only korean glass manufacturer that can produce this tempered glass.
It is sold out everywhere by the way. With cash in hand also can't find one

Or maybe they cant make it good enough.

Edge is 1 thing.

To match the curvature of the edge is another.
*
Come to think of it, they just figured out the use of the thick liquid adhesive to seal the tempered glass from the inside out. The tempered glass is just well normal piece of curved tempered glass. They are selling the application technique

another choice would be hao brand screen protector available in cheras, full coverage also https://www.facebook.com/horohorohao/videos...?type=2&theater

Is there adhesive glue in the whole screen or just like most tempered glass only at the surrounding sides?

you would need to let them install on the spot as they do not sell for customer to install it personally. so a travel to their shop is a must
yes the whole screeen is adhesive glue, therefore installation process is more tedious resulting you need to travel to their shop to let them install on the spot.

take note the installation time takes up to 40 minutes according to them is price is RM290 per piece

Nice it is expensive but after import fee Whitestone Dome which is around USD45 should be around the same price.
Just don't know which is more case friendly.

Received pre-order from Maxis, it come with a new 128k SIM card... look like we are asked to change the SIM card?
*

Not really. You can use back the old sim card but if you choose to change to the new SIM card you need to call Maxis to activate the new card

Mine bought from 11street arrived about 30 mins ago!

But its not a sealed unit. Probably seller need to register or something cose I noticed one of the IMEI sticker inside the unit has been taken out.
*
You mean there is no seal at all in open box condition when you receive the set? How about the phone condition? clean or with fingerprints all over

Mine not sealed too. The black saamsung tape is already cut off. And they put a transparent tape to cover it. Phone looks brand new though.
I tried that but only for color balance test.
