hi guys, am looking for a new phone, since my M8 is dying soon, any major/minor isssues i should know if i plan to get the S8+? also, what is the current market price for it? i saw at lazada currently selling at 3287, is this the cheapest i could get? i'm used to buying phone from phone shop since donkey years, is it still cheaper say to buy from a phone shop at pyramid's it center?also how is the firmware holding up? stable? if low to mid usage, one full charge could last u guys for how long? need to charge twice a day to get through the day? thanks for answering my questions in advance, sorry if this seem repetitive

QUOTE(attw @ May 30 2017, 10:21 AM) Cheapest price for the phone I've seen is RM 28xx on Qoo10 as well as in our LYN Garage Sale. My current battery usage: Full charge at 11pm before going to bed, Max Power Saving Mode till 6am, Then about 4-5 hours SOT for the whole day at work till reach home at night, when I plug in my charger at about 9.30pm or so there's about 40% battery left. So that's pretty adequate for me. Have never bought anything from Pyramid's IT Center but I don't imagine they are the cheapest around though. No major complaints on stability and firmware thus far. Hope that helps. thanks a lot!!! mind sharing any better phoens i could go to if i were looking for 2800++? also buying from Qoo10, i assume is a on9 site, any issue with packagin? warranty? i'm afraid if i buy it, and there is a problem, it will be difficult to claim warranty, do i go back to Qoo10 or str8 to samsung SC? good to know not many major issues......

QUOTE(attw @ May 30 2017, 01:31 PM) 2800++ gets you quite a number of flagship grade phones, so it boils down to your preference. When you buy from Qoo10 or any other online platform, just make sure it's a SME local MY set and you can go back to the Samsung SC if you have any problems. ops, i think i made u misunderstood, i wanted to ask other than Qoo10, any other places around 2800++ price range selling s8+? but i just went Qoo10, the price for s8+ is 3500, where did you get the 2800 price tag?just curious

QUOTE(attw @ May 30 2017, 01:48 PM) Oh sorry, I was mistaken, I thought you meant for the S8. For the S8+ I think the lowest price is abuot 32xx-33xx. no worries, i wasn't clear with my question anyways, thanks again, will keep scouting for deals then...... QUOTE(haziqmck7 @ May 30 2017, 02:04 PM) U can use coupon. S8+ i think can be as lower as 3.1k if im not mistaken. was hoping for coupon deals as well, but the no. of units at lazada is dwindling, finger's crossed

just joined the s8+ gang, got it at rm2099 from maxis with 2 year contract and upfront payment, last week it was 2299, sudd sat became 2099, lucky for me i guess, got myself a clear casing just so i could see the samsung design, i think i'm gonna stick with it since it looks better, the bulky casing just dont do it for me, using the soft plastic SP from pyramid maxis if anybody wants them, they still have it, rm37, i bought extra from lazada rm39 just for backup, coming back to S-series from my HTC m8 and since S2, i say samsung really made themself a proper phone, no complains so far.......the display is beautiful.....
i notice if i have photo and video at max quality, i only only have tracking AF or video stabilisation, cant have both switch on, anybody experiance the same?
i notice the plastic SP is not as nice as tempered glass, but after looking for tempered glass type, only the whitestone one is good? but so exp.....hmmm......
o and btw, bixby is useless.......they should allow us to reprogram the button for let's say, camera?or music.....
