It's an insurance package, very much like your medical insurance... now do you think it's necessary? I don't think I can answer for everybody but some people does say "nahhhh.... that's not gonna happen to me" only to regret it later....

but, I think for about RM250 for 1 year/1 replacemement worth about 1k peace of mind, plus 1 year extra peace of mind for everything else after spending about RM3k worth every penny.... of course it won't cover damage from your fault...

even if you're not planning to use this device for more than a year, I would still recommend that RM149 screen package.

I've dealt with Ookas before, my experience with them was good except that one time they are providing false info about product... so don't rely on their product description details but rather check on your own... I've never get fake items from them though I dealt with them like one or two times only, I could be lucky

The price seems to be okay, what you see outside is the minimum price for lowest option... Once you go in and select your option it will quote you the real price. Plus read your options properly... Seems to be "Evo+" is stated as "Evo Plus" and the newer "Evo Plus" is called "New Evo Plus"

weird, iris scanner works better for me where it's dark... out in the sun? I have to be like an idiot... in dark room? just hit the home button like I normally use my phone it's already unlocked... don't even need to open my eyes wide...

I heard that the only way to do that is through themes... and even then, only small numbers of them do...

Wow, usually when this happened I take out the UV filter from my DSLR lens... but on smartphone... this is first time I see this... Since you're not using SP, do you happen to use some sort of clear case???????

If not, perhaps it's worth it to refer back to Samsung??? Might also want to try and check around if others experience this as well...

IINM, previously Active version has always been for US market locked to specific carrier...

For me, yeah the lag does start to kick in for me... but I'm guessing because I have a lot of stuff running in background... still getting 4-5 hrs SOT for me is still impressive. Once, I hit home button but phone doesn't return home... Hit Bixby button, it doesn't go to Bixby (perhaps it went to sleep and waking up take some time). Sometimes, opening app drawer will yield some stutter...

but for me, so far nothing that really irritates me... this is like the best Samsung device I've ever used (well, I've only used Note first gen and Note 10.1)... also, like many people who tried I can't believe myself to move away from Chrome to Samsung Internet as well... it works pretty well...

I used them on my Zenfon C previously.... And that's because my hands are tight, not enough RAM and CPU power to run full featured FB app. Once I upgraded, nope I'm not going to stare that interface ever again....

but yea, it's really easy on the CPU and battery... If all you do is read on FB, I would recommend it...

No issue on my side as well...

you happen to have TG on???

btw, you meant the edge panel colapse itself right? not the app launched from edge panel terminate itself?

huh, I also have x-one sp but didn't have any issue.. so I also doubt that's sp issue...

frankly, i don't know.

but, the only way to close the edge panel is by touching on empty area on the left side of the screen. I would try to do touch test to see if there's any phantom touch when you try to open the edge panel...

other than that, I kind of remember that edge panel actually something like floating badge app. could be somehow the edge panel crashed and come back up???? very unlikely though and could be something I plucked out of thin air...

also, just to clear all bases maybe you want to try open the edge with finger and phone on the table, avoiding accidental touch...

You sure it's not just your color temperature settings?? Settings > Display > Screen Mode > Full Screen Color Balance. Could be yours on the warmer side while the demo unit is on the colder side?

I only rate it as good as old Xiaomi Piston. Kinda enjoyable, but the 99USD quoted by Samsung is totally overpriced.

I would say if you're buying full price it doesn't worth it... I have given up on the hunt for TG/SP. Once my X-One is not fit for my phone anymore, I might just go for Samsung SP.

I agree that smartwatch is pretty much dead for mass consumer but it still has a very niche follower. I like smartwatches when I first get my hands on Pebble and for me that is the only true smartwatch (which considered as dead now sadly)

I dont want a phone on my watch, I need a companion to my phone on my wrist, to quickly check where my next meeting is, what time is my next meeting, should I attend to the notification immediately or I can just check it later. I don't want to write stuff on my watch. And definitely I don't want to charge it everyday like my phone...

regardless, I still won't say forget about it but despite I myself forget about AW. But if AW actually fits your use case just go for it

true that.... nowadays my phone is on silent 24/7... not even vibrate. everything comes through my watch (Pebble previously, Garmin Vivoactive HR nowadays)

removing my watch daily? what if I wear the watch for about 23.5 hours out of 24 hours???? charging everyday is too much downtime for me

to be honest, S3 and AW2 is really tempting but battery life is really short for my use.... if I'm going to charge while sleeping, I'll lose sleep tracking data... If somebody come and say it's fine to charge the watch ~10min per day (charging while showering) and it'll go through one whole day I might consider them as my next purchase...

based on the picture I'm guessing one is full screen TG while the other one is not....

just get the chance to open lyn and catch up...

MiBand 2 is good, I recommend them for budget wearables... but I already am using Vivoactive HR... 1hr/week downtime is fine by me...

I interviewed my dad as S3 user before, he said if you are using active connection (connected to phone, receiving notifications) it'll last about 1 day and a half... take it offline, it last for a very long time... sure there's power saving mode that turns to monochrome, but if it's with me I will probably disable that if I can

maybe I'll wait and see if battery will improve in next gens...

any samsung service center should do... it covers 1 change for 1 year...

if memory (RAM) cleaning, I would say useless... I dont see any benefit doing that...

storage cleanup and sleeping apps will give better benefit if RAM is an issue.

other than that, I see no point on clicking the button multiple times a day or once every day... any kind of optimizer is something I would ignore... just config your phone to your likings and everything should work. If it still doesn't you are using wrong device for your usage case. Maybe you want to try another device.

when TypeC first come out, all OEMs rush TypeC cables to gain market traction... end up, even device manufacturer doesn't produce correct TypeC cables according to spec supplied with the device and this has potential for power delivery error causing Note-7-ish-explosion risk when used with fast charging; but there's no confirm case caused by those kind of cables...

Been a while since the issue was brought up, I don't know if it's still true nowadays or all cables has followed the spec or not. All I know, I saw some cables was "with correct resistance" or something like that slapped on the box.

I'm having love-hate relationship with that button... i like it because it feels so canggih but at the same time it keeps on waking up in my pocket and goes to emergency number dialing screen, and it's already at lowest sensitivity...

I hate Samsung for not using real pressure sensitivity like iPhone's 3D Touch...

I did, the problem usually occur within that 5sec I'm taking my phone out from my pocket... somehow it unlocks, it managed to find that OK button on the prompt and find that "Emergency Call" button... maybe that same ninja that tangles my earphones does this....

Doesn't matter. Facing outside, it will happen when I'm taking out my phone out of my pocket, maybe not the same screen but still it unlocks... I usually touch that area when I'm taking out my phone, either with my finger or my palm. habits I guess... my only chance to avoid this is to put the phone with the button at the bottom of pocket, which again I need to change my habits...

want to know why it's more realistic? because the screen actually bent from the pressure, a sensor will measure light change as indicator of distance change. Combine that movement with haptic feedback, for sure it's a more realistic "button"

our Samsung doesn't. The screen detects pressure by assuming "more pressure = more surface contact area", like a lot of doodling apps does. Try to hit the home button with your palm, barely any pressure and yet it detects a pressure.

huh, you get palm rejection!!! I envy

I tested it again just now, perhaps they do some changes on the algorithm since last time I tried I guess... been quite some time when I tested it... I can't easily unlock with my palm anymore... last time I just touch it with my palm (the bump below your thumb to be specific) and it unlocks...

I use X-One... could be SP making it more sensitive... last time use TG there actually ghost touch...

can't recall if it happens last time when I went naked for one week...
