Yes same here!! I have complaint to lazada but they asked me to send back the sd card..

So the seller give you a written paper says sorry and ask you to accept it as it is? laugh.gif
Mine also same with the picture, emailed Lazada and asked me to wait for Tax Invoice that need to include in the returned package. Maybe Monday I'll get it and drop it at nearby MBE.

Ya and he also gave his wechat contact lol

They seller had the audacity to give a piece of paper saying sorry the product that we ordered is not produced now.
We ordered because of high speed 80MB/s and we get only 24MB/s in reading speed. Clearly a fake. So we all ordered with the same seller I presume? laugh.gif

yeah i dont have it as well...gona return it later no point keeping it since the image will crash ..
though can ignore the slow speed and use it
btw i added the seller on wechat but he haven't reply me yet and my return date is ending tomorrow
*
I got the Tax Invoice today from Lazada. But they still didnt reply me yet regarding whether i will get the full RM80+ in SV or just RM4+ that i paid the seller. If it's the later, waste my time to do all the hassle.

Hopefully Lazada is nice this time around after Alibaba bought it laugh.gif
Because fake item is a serious and can make them lose customer in the future. Unlike Aliexpress, if it's not same as desribed, wrong item, or even fake, we can get partial/full refund without to ship back the item.

No offence and jst my two cents.

One can get the cheapest S8 Plus at around 2800++ which is 900 cheaper than the pre-order set.

Meanwhile, he able to get another 400 raya voucher with a total of 1300 rebate on the top of retail recommended price.

3699 - 900 = 2800

2800 - 400 = 2400

In my personal point of view,

1300 cash/voucher rebate is much better than screencare+ powerbank+wireless charger+ sp+clear case.

Preoreder customer suppose to get some privilege or discount but the truth is the other way round.

screencare (not a must to me)
+ powerbank (not useful as I have a few powerbank alr)
+ wireless charger ( i seldom use the wireless charger, still prefer to charge the phone with wired, use less than 5 times)
+ sp  +clear case  (not a must to me as I bought the case from other company)

That's how good marketing works, Samsung is best at it. We as consumer, if there is a chance to take, just take laugh.gif

What you can do is, force reboot it and try again. If still the same, factory reset it.

How much one (S8+) can sell with screen cracked phone? My friend's S8+ cracked not because of dropped. So the body is still good with no crack/scratch. Still can touch just cracked. So because of this, the phone is out of warranty automatically even there is a problem internally. I asked him to sell, don't bother to repair as the phone cost will be much higher while 2nd hand unit is getting cheaper.

How does it crack without dropping? Curious..

Unlucky for my friend, he put it inside the bag. The bag put it on his bike's cage. Put another bag with more than 15KG up top. The bag's steel-button was on top of the phone. Hence the crack. If there is no steel button then it won't crack even put 20KG pressure.

My friend cracked his S8 from drops. Samsung quoted around 1.2k, not sure of the exact figure (don't quote me on that). But he managed to get staff price around 800+. He's SME ex-colleague btw.
*
I suggest him to sell rather than fix. The phone is no longer in warranty as screen cracked.

Oh is it?thanks!!
Then the service center staff and also the live chat staff of samsung must be giving wrong info then..since i trust forumer here more then them

How can they honor the warranty even after we fix the screen ourselves if there is something wrong with the hardware?
They will blame us because of the impact that lead to cracked screen.

Why would it void warranty? I repaired my S6e screen at Samsung SC and iirc, I was told warranty still valid. Heck, they even have warranty on the replacement screen.

This is great news for my friend. Will reconfirm later, maybe they changed T&C now, who knows.

Just asked Samsung SC at lowyat plaza, lcd replacement for S8+ is RM980 and warranty is valid after replace at SC only. I think i mix it with other brand, might be HTC/Apple.

Anyone know where to get one? Been waiting since it's launched but still can't find it in eBay/Lazada/11street. Seems only available in JD.com.
