Oh wow, this is tempting.

Are they a trusted seller? Anyone bought from them before?

(Sorry if that's a newbie question but I don't usually buy anything above 2k online)

thanks. need to apply the 350 coupon right? did you order from this? is this Qoo10.com reliable?

Based on some reviews here, it seems legit. Some already got their phones via GDEX. So I took the plunge and ordered a S8 (Black) last night. After doing the math the discount for the S8 was more than that for the S8+ biggrin.gif

because the idiot in the video didnt optimise games and web browser to take advantage of the taller display.  doh.gif

i get what you are trying to say.

My s8 at 5.8" is miles better than my iphone7+ at 5.5", it only gives illusion that the s8 is a smaller phone therefore smaller screen. Which is why the s8 and s8+ is so damn brilliant, it gives you a small form factor that punches a big ass screen.

Once you start watching videos/movies, especially lights turned off, god damn the difference is obvious.

I wont see my fingers holding the phone nor the bezels and sides making it less distracting and gives a much much better experience

Hi Bro, 7 Plus user here who just ordered the regular S8 as well, and not the S8+. How is the battery life for you? Does it get you through the day, maybe with 4-5 hours SOT?

yes it does, 4-5 hours of SOT easily.

but idle power consumption not as good as iphone. about 1% drain per hour when idle at night.

btw if you using 7+ before this, why not get the s8+, its same size anyway, but you get 6.2" screen and a bigger battery..

Coz I tested both the S8 and S8+ and getting my finger on the awkward finger-print sensor of the S8 is easier than the S8+, ha ha ha. Anyways, didn't want too go big coz in all likelihood I will sell the S8 off when the next iPhone comes to town. 4-5 hours SOT is enough to get me through the day, same as the Note 5 I had previously.

I see. No wonder lah. laugh.gif

I have a habit since first day I use mobile phone, which is, off everything before I sleep, because I don't want to be disturbed by the incoming messages during sleep time. I only leave the mobile signal on, just in case of emergency calls at midnight. smile.gif

It's a habit for iPhone users. Leave everything on and still no battery drain. 0%. iOS spoils us that way.

Bro, I'm ip7+ user too and I can tell u that you won't be using the S8/8+ fingerprint sensor much. Because you will be using Iris scanner. So S8+ all the way. When ip8 comes I believe S8+ is a more popular choice and therefore can sell easier.

Ya, I know what you mean. Anyways, this is purely experimental so I felt no need to splash the additional 400++. Still have my 7 Plus to fall back on in case anything goes wrong biggrin.gif

I'm very satisfied with my S8 battery life. Although my battery died off before 6pm, but that's because I used the phone frequently since morning. SOT is at 8 hours wink.gif

Generally I spent half the time on mobile network and half on Wi-Fi. About 1 hour gaming, 1 hour YouTube, then the rest on web browsing and messaging. Got to love my S8.
