Got it bro  thumbsup.gif
I got the SMS too and today, weird enough I got a call which is the first time. I purchased so many Samsung device in the past where I only get SMS.

And yeah, for all who guessed, Samsung warranty has always been 1 yr + 2 weeks. Even when I buy tablets from Samsung, it's always been 1 yr + 2 weeks. That's the standard warranty.
*
late reply, but I got the call on the same day you posted too, from the same number..

Was in a meeting when I got the call so I declined it, tried to call back the number when I was free and couldnt call back the number (it wouldnt go through).. So was wondering who was that..

Scratches can happen from sand or dust particles as well I think

As for clear coat, the surface is self healing so the mark or scratches you see will disappear over time. Clear coat is a great investment so far for me as I don't use cases. I can place the phone onto any surface without fear of scratches.

Plus it reduce finger print marks and adds to the grippiness of the phone.

Money well spent thanks to Velocity's discount biggrin.gif

well said. Unfortunately, i'm sensitive when it comes to SP, clear-coat indeed makes the phone grippier and feel more secured, but at the cost of glass smoothness.

plus the lifetime warranty is a great bonus too.

However for me my concern is smoothness therefore i decided to let go my clearcoat .

that sucks bro.

If the phone is still within 3 days of purchase can walk back in to the Samsung store you bought it from to do 1 to 1 exchange.

If more than 3 days of purchase, still go back to the store you purchased it from and try and see if you can still do 1 to 1 exchange, if they say cant, then ask them what are your options available, they most probably tell you to go to service center, so head to service center for next advice.

I heard if 1 dead pixel they may not allow to claim warranty or exchange, but no harm asking. At least try asking first. You'll never know if its your "lucky" day and they allow you to do an exchange. Samsung's brand image is very frail right now, with the Note 7 explosions and what not, and reports worldwide about S8 red-tint issue/screen problems which yours falls under as well, they may just proceed to let u do an exchange to keep customers satisfied and happy.

My thought on s8 earphones. Note that I also own another RM400+ AKG earphones so some expectation will be there since some claim it cost 99$ price value similar price range.

My honest opinions (please don't shoot me XD)
Sound clarity: 7/10, some how the volume is slightly lower compare other individual sold earphones, but has OK sound clarity.
Sound bass: 4/10, bass is definitely lacking for bass lovers.
Noise isolation: 7/10, okay.
Comfortable: 8/10, can immediately notice this earphone is quite comfortable to wear with its design.
Build design & quality: 7/10, plus point on tangle free design wire up to split section but have to minus marks due to rest of wire using rubber and confirm wear and tear won't last long same with my another AKG earphones.

Summary: Considering it is a earphones supplied together with phone the overall sound quality is noticeable better. Would say this is good earphones beside the sound bass and overall volume is really lacking for my personal taste.
*
sorry late reply but i read on reddit after setting up Adaptive Sound for the AKG earphones, sound quality improved by MILES.

So yeah do give Adaptive Sound a try, under Settings.

Those who doesn't have SP on their phones, how's the scratch resistance from day to day use?

so far so good for me, but read online of numerous complaints about the S8 being too easy to get scratched despite gorilla glass 5. It seems its worse than S7 edge.

updated to the latest patches, RED colour already set to O, still noticeable red tint issue when play around the display setting espeacially to amoled screen or photo screen. Brightness at around 40%. Should Consider take to Samsung Service Centre ?
*
you're not supposed to set it to 0, set it to 0 if you have perfect screen with no red tint issues.. Mine is set to 0.

For yours you need to set to -3, -6 or -9..

EDIT: I mean for the *#15987# function, not in the Settings slider..
