Tried the demo unit today. Somehow the whole interface feels laggy.

Does it feels hot in the hand? I assume they charge it all day long

Nope when I tried already 41% and is not charging. My local retailer already start selling but there's no freebies.

Just a reseller. But should be official channel I guess. I'm not in Malaysia currently.

Got a new software update as soon as I startup the device. No red tint issue. So far so good I guess.

Showing XSP. Since the shop said there's a official 1 year warranty from Samsung. Should be fine I guess.

Just tried this and was even wow by the whole screen estate.
Hide Nav Bar
Only issue is that have to swipe up from the bottom to bring up the nav bar everytime.

Is it safe to use the AOD display? Seems nice but afraid will consume lots of battery or cause damage to the screen.

AOD been around long time ago even before samsung. Its not a new tech and no it dont consume alot of battery because it only lit specify LED rather than the entire screen

Ohhh noted. Thanks a lot.

Somehow the battery life is not as good as what I expect. Half day usage since 7.30am.

Have a slight red tint at the bottom of the nav bar and doesnt seem like tuning the display can fix it. Should i go for an exchange? Worry the exchange unit is even worse. hmm.gif

I just received mine from senheng .
Noticed a bit red tint on top part. Will the 400mb software update fix this issue ?

Might make it not so obvious but the red tint is still there for me after the update. bangwall.gif
