Is it really important to have perfectly white screen because chances are really rare for this version of amoled? Why not just sell your po unit when you knew you can't accept this?

Claim back gst? LoL. That's all I can say.

Let's not continue on this thread to avoid kena report.

Finally...

Btw, those who are considering to buy, remember qoo10 promo until 14th May 1159pm...

This is probably the first time I didn't see any reports on rooting and flashing modified rom on a Samsung flagship device.

The hype about S8 seem to die quite fast this time. Is it because of all the negative news about the screen like red tint and burn in or people were waiting to see whay apple has up it's sleeve for their 10th anniversary baby.

Better just lurk around CC thread and see which card is offering free cash or voucher for new signups. I was already planning to buy a new phone for my wife and rushed to signed for hsbc to get the RM500 lazada voucher. Initially was really going to buy 7+ when they had the RM500 off promo but hold back after reading S8+ spec. In the end, the surprise RM100 cashback from Shopback plus another RM50 cashback for online spending ontop of the voucher made the whole deal so desirable.

I think for those who really cared, like those iDevice owners who kept complaining about yellowish screen, best you buy from Samsung Store after you get their confirmation about exchange if encounter the reported problem. Or skip this series until the next year.

Samsung has admit a change in their manufacturing process to use deep red dye instead, therefore it's probably will stay the same for a pretty long period.

I really like how the red color looks right now. It really pops but at the expense of the red tint. Not a bad trade off imo as I always prefer a popping screen.

I don't really use knox nor will I ever use it. Its just like how I hated antivirus in my pc.

I use banking app so much that I can't even think about rooting even if I wanted to do it.

Especially if you purchased one of the many available package disabler. Too bad the one I bought went bust...

Actually I buy also just to test gear vr using Google cardboard app. Manatau that idiotic developer for EZ package disabler cabut and left every user high and dry. All kena conned after licence fail to activate. I also scare hence never updated before since reading those comment. Suddenly one day it suddenly failed activating the licence.

Even Tesco selling in Lazada sell cheaper than that... RM2999 after apply voucher.

Im interested to listen to this comparison as I personally dont really feel anything great about xiaomi audio when I still had the Mi3. Not that I think my S6e sounds better but I never really feel anything super about audio coming from smartphone anyway.

If there's anything that look weird, its the S8+

Yeah, at best also they can only offer you pay 11months instead of 12months, which only give like 8-10% effective discount.

If one do not need good ping for online gaming, either one also okay. But if ping is important, I have to say only Maxis and Celcom made the cut.

Add another RM10 for shipping.

Just received my S8 from my sister. The original black seal was not even broken in the first place, unlike those pre-order unit from Bintang Maju.

Comparing with my sister new S8+.

Those with non red tint seem to have blue edges compared to red edges for red tint.

If you want to adjust red, then you need to use adaptive display mode and adjust the red only until you satisfied.

Also *#15987# in phone app to adjust.

Yes. If it's red at first, at angle also look a bit red. My sister S8+ don't have red tint when looking at angle but you can see from the picture I shared earlier, it's too blue that even showing around the border of the phone. My wife S8+ has red edges.

Having seen both, I would say its not totally something anyone should fret about. If I get a very white (bluish) then I would just turn to basic mode or blue light filter mode. If I get red tint, then all I had to do is adjust the red and it look really close to basic mode with some red tint when not looking straight.

Sometimes when owners shared things like idle battery drain, it's really unclear about the duration they left it, just simply said overnight.

Things like this really hard to draw a clear line. I also can say I had 0-1% drop overnight on my S6e.

Well, firstly I never install facebook and messenger which is the best known battery drainer. I only had whatsapp and gmail. No Instagram, almost nothing. Metal Pro replacing Twitter and Facebook app and even that with notifications turned off. I also turned off Play Store auto update. Add: Even OS update also set to manual.

What I really get is occasional YouTube notification about LoL matches, few emails from pbb card promotion, and nothing else. Usually on wifi at home.

You can't really blame the OS for battery drain when its doing something behind the scene.
