In case you need a comparison the S8's screen size is almost as big as an iphone 7 Plus - the difference is the S8's screen is taller and slightly narrower. Coming from a note 5, I find the S8+ and the Note 5 for that matter, to be unwieldy. I wouldn't get the plus model.
*
Agree. S8 is more comfortable with a similar screen size to the n5. I came from the n5

Sound like good deal on the trade off part.
Seng Heng only offer less than 1K for Note 5.
So I trade in my A9 Pro which they accept at RM1.3K.

Is Samsung Store offer to take trade in nationwide or just at IOI mall?
Thinking of trading in my pristine used Note 5.

Thanks.
*
Nationwide.

I just mnp to Digi last 2 weeks, no volte on my S8, So after I raised my question in Digi thread & guys there just told me to request it from Digi CS.

Use myDigi & live chat with CS, after enabled got SMS comfirmation. Then it enabled.

Bro, if not believe then just ignore my advise. Sometimes it's funny when wanna help ppl, those ppl pula questioning u back.
*
Wow no need to be salty bro. I'm stating it from my experience that my wife just plugged in her sim got it and I didn't. Mind you we are both long-time digi users for at least 10 years. Sim card both recently changed in the last two years.

So I will try talk to live chat see wat happens

which branch did you go?
just so you know, the worker do increase the price if you didnt know about it,
i was get charge for rm175 and i told her ( pavi branch ) that why my friend charged for rm170
then decreased to rm170..fusion is the most exp which only for iphone n only cost rm180
*
iirc mobile outfitters weekend got additional charge for replacements. but in your case.. macam wanna sapu ur rm5 hehe

this was the post from their Malaysia fb page for ref:

Please be informed that there will be a replacement fees of rm10/surface on weekend and public holiday and this is because due to higher traffic on these days and we also have to do new sales to maintain the daily operation cost.
Normal weekdays NO charges and can get free replacement as we provide lifetime warranty for our film.
Please be understandable that if 20 people come and do replacement on weekend, per phone we have to use 15-30minutes then how can we have time to entertain new customers and how are we going to provide lifetime warranty for the film anymore if we dont have new profit to sustain the business?
It is reasonable that we impose the rm10 charges per surface on high traffic days and we didnt breach the LIFETIME WARRANTY service as we promised. Other branches in the other countries also doing the same.
We hope you enjoy our products and thanks for the continuing support. Happy Labour Day! 😃

I tried at pavillion KL .. they pointed to me  after  putting some code  on my S7 edge .. the screen turns white blank ..then the tiny black spot become visible on the upper left corner
any way . I am not sad .. maybe year end 2017 .. Note 8 is on the way ..

I had watched the youtube on the note 8 leaked preview ..

very impressive ... very tempting ....

Ya enter code to check and test. However id thought 1 or 2 dead pixel is within tolerance .

I traded mine in at ioi mall puchong. The manager there is a very nice guy.

The default Samsung keyboard is really a mess. The swipe is predict a wrong word almost 90% of the time. Changed my to Swiftkey, so much better compare to stupid Samsung keyboard.
Bought another unit of bluetooth earphone to replace my month old Adv.Sound Model 3. This time is beyerdynamic Byron BTA. The built quality is so much better than Adv.Sound model 3. With fixing magnet and aluminium housing compare to plastic in Adv.Sound Model3.
Sound output thru. aptX is very good. Bass is even more solid than Adv.Sound Model 3. If you listen to lossless thru. S8+ highly recommended to invest on this bluetooth earpiece.
*
based on specs, adv-sound 3 frequency response is 20Hz – 40kHz.

Beyerdynamic is 10 - 25,000 Hz.

so yea.. more bass is a given smile.gif how about the treble/sharpness? still ok?

im still happy using my jabra rox wireless. smile.gif dont think will change anytime soon .

One thing i don't understand. I press the home button. Screen pops out like 1 second. Before i can read further, it goes off again. I need to quickly swipe up to key in the swipe button. Is this normal?

any screen protector on ? maybe it's interfering with the response?

Anybody use gear s3 with s8? Is it recommended?
My last smart watch was moto 360 but now itching to get another. Happy if someone can share their experience
*
Firstly android wear and gear s3 os very different. That being said s3 is optimised for use on samsung devices.

I used Sony swr3 before switching to s3. One major difference is the gestures which s3 does not have at all .
Battery life wise I charge every nite out of habit. But can typically last 1 half days. ( am using always on display)

Display is really nice. Erm not sure wat else to share unless u got specific questions. ?
