I mean did you buy the phone from the qoo10 seller, Butterworth mobile?
I'm quite skeptical since the price is so cheap. If you bought one and everything is ok, I might pull the trigger and buy one too.

Actually it is really that cheap? If you look at Lazada, S8 already going for 3099. Ok, RM300 off... but...

2770 plus 15 shipping. Then if you add 250 for 2 years, 1 year screen protection, RM100 for power bank, RM100 for wireless charging, and another RM50 for case n sp.

It is not that much different from preorder price. What do you think now?

There's no freebies in this world, don't you think so? They simply found a way to sell you things you don't want to buy in the first place.

What you really need to confirm in online deals is the existence of the said business, registered and operating as usual. Not the price.

Oh, I forgot to answer you.. Yes, I ter'buy... LOL

I thought it's good enough for my dad since he's always complaining about his Note2 not loading Waze etc. He still can't believe me on how Maxis 3G sucks. To my horror, my sister sent me some pics tonight asking my dad to prepare his money. She went and sign for S8+.

Now I'm wondering what to do with this phone... damnit...

Ok, thanks for the info. Really appreciate it.
You can sell the extra phone 2.9k at garage sales, people will buy it for sure

You think so? LOL...

I really hate selling new stuff because there are so many people seeking perfection, cheapest price, best quality. It's really much easier selling old stuff cheaper because they had lower expectations.

Thats the features of fast charging. Fast charging only starts after certain percentage and stops when it reaches around 80%+-. Its the same with huawei's quick charge and OPO's dash charge.
*
Are you sure it's 80% for Fast Charging? I thought it was more like 50-60%.

Yes. Try again and see. Slows down after 80%+-.
Wow.. all branded. Damage still high bro. sweat.gif

Hmm... not too sure if it's because of my S6e having a smaller battery. I did feel it stop fast charging faster... whenever fast charging works, the phone normally feels quite hot hence which is why many back then don't feel like using it. Between 50-60%, I already feel the reduced heat from my phone although the charging is still quite fast.

It's the charging efficiency that's more attractive honestly.

I didn't know you can remove Google Play Music from Samsung phone. All I see was the option to disable in my S6e.

Before switching to 5s i was using the old galaxy s2 hahaha it was cynogen mod i forgot which android.

The Android nougat really impressive, really love the new android, dint experience any lag yet though hahaha.

overall my experience with this phone 9.5/10, it just too fragile..still looking for suitable TG and case for it.. any suggestion?

iOS is just losing it's appeal. Who was the one who came up with IAP?

Back then I only had Android phone and the rest were iPhone (wife) and iPads. It was really enjoyable paying once and enjoying it on multiple devices. All that went downhill with IAP. It's no longer enjoyable which eventually stopped me from buying any iDevices ever since.

Samsung Experience 8.1 is excellent. Samsung has gave a lot of "freedom" to the S8 users. Once you reset the phone, you can choose to install what google apps and galaxy apps you want. Furthermore, you can also uninstall most apps without any issues. So far, I noticed we can uninstall Google drive, Google photos, Google TV, Google music, and a lot more!

Honestly, Samsung put a lot of efforts into S8. From now on, no one should say that Samsung phone is full of bloatwares anymore, since we can uninstall them whenever we wish to. rclxms.gif

Like that, time to change has come?

If you can't believe it then just buy from Samsung Store. So much info shared and yet you still doubt... what's the point? Cheap must be AP/fakes is it? People seem to trust forumer really easily and getting scammed while genuine business also cannot trust despite having a store front.

i try to behave moderate when comes to internet world, and not to offend anyone, to avoid arguments etc.

Just look back a few pages before commenting. I already shared the physical shop name and location. I also shared the tracking and Samsung warranty registration.

Honestly saying, anyone could register here and say they bought one and simply share a pic to scam you. Why not learn how to spot what's real and what's fake?

it's always scary to buy something so expensive online.

u r right to feel cautious. why not u go over to the shop and deal?

For this, I must apologize because I did shared that you can opt for self collection. I forgot to update on this matter. I did asked my sister to go self collect but when I showed the order screenshot, they declined me saying Qoo10 does not allow.

Im not going to go super saiyan over this matter since they promised they will ship out later which they really did. The other mess was that they key-in the phone IMEI as shipping tracking. I guess they are really new at this. I already found the tracking number too long but didnt pay much attention until I received the same number from Samsung Warranty SMS.

I just bought mine from the their store in pacific megamall (rix mobile, ground floor, this is new shop, the original store on 1st floor). I talked with the boss and was able to order through Qoo10, using their voucher and collect on the spot. Just make sure you call the boss first because stock running out very fast lel. I wanted to get S8+ black but no stock, so just get S8 black saja..

On the box there's a black sticker that should not be broken or damaged (the one with 'Southeast Asian SIM card Only' wording).. this should be able to guarantee it is not swapped out or what..
*
Oh man, they allowed you to collect?

Damn.. I think the first time I chat with them, probably the boss himself as he allowed it (before placing order). The next day, I was going to ask me sister to collect, but they suddenly told me cannot allow. Not sure who is the one on the other end...

haha, probably because it was a lot of hassle xD had to make sure:

1. you placed your order, so they know which order id it is.
2. have stock for whatever you order (I had to wait for a 5pm restock before I got my unit, and they were still 5 units short of the website order)
3. when they pass to you the phone, you need to press confirm delivery on the order page on the spot.
4. They give you a receipt to sign that you received
5. Also take photo as proof that you received xD
6. Not sure what they do with the Gdex part (prolly just ask them to process as if delivered)
7. Then they go check on their system whether they received payment, if everything okay, then okay la xD

if I am boss I also won't allow self collect, so many orders coming in from online and hassle-free also.. I think I must be the first one to ask that's why he allowed..
*
I know how it works since I have buying online for years. That's why I asked my sister who's currently residing in Butterworth to help so I'm prepared to do all those. They can simply ship a document to somewhere and as long as received, shouldn't really matter. They will definitely require you to sign to prevent you from reporting card stolen/abuse which is rampant nowadays.

Either buy on the spot, or on the spot order/pay thru qoo10 app and hopefully they can just pass me the unit there.

Ask them first. You can call the number there. Also promised me can collect but after order cannot collect. Now need ask my sister go gdex collect.

By the way if you are thinking of claiming income tax from this buyer, he refuse to give tax invoice due to below rrp
*
Haha... that's why online cheap. You can see lots of companies go online with a different name because many are not paying gst when they do online business. Hence you will not get tax invoice. But I still think you can claim tax deduction since you can prove you bought the item online with black n white record. Also matching amount in credit card statement.

Wow... My cousin unit also got out of focus camera. S8+... restart still same.

Update:

For those of you who loves to wipe phone, don't wipe the camera too hard. I think my cousin unit camera got stuck because he wiped the camera too hard. I shaked his phone hard a few times and it seem to fix the problem.
