What do you think?

For me, camera compartment is a bit disappointed.... noise at low light and shutter speed is slow during low light too....causing photo blur with slight movement with Auto Mode! (I'm compare with Note7 dual pixel camera)

S-Pen is as good as Note flagship with further enhancement. You must try it!

Edge Screen is still a useless technology at Note flagship! When you use S-Pen to draw near the edge.. It is really difficult to draw or write ! Note series should not comes with edge screen!

Infinity Display is a good features with big screen but I'm still struggling to use the new features without Home Button...

The size of N8 is really comfortable during hold at my hand. Perfect!

Bixby Button is really disturbing... To hold in one hand and to adjust Up/down volume is very easy to accidentally press the Bixby button.... I'm disabled it.

Medium usage for today. Battery life still can give 12 hour juice. It is acceptable for me.

Multi Windows is a great features too... Can use two same app concurrently.

Lastly, I'm miss the IR features..

ammm, ammm, note 8 is dual pixel too

initially thought the samsung default put unused app to sleep functionality able to put all unused apps to sleep

but then found out that, it can't put the samsung apps to sleep even we are not using it at all and some of these apps do running in the background

i am still tweaking and customizing the phone from all aspects, uninstalled some unused google apps

If it can be done, we could all share one purchase and get all our phones installed.  laugh.gif
TW will put resource hungry apps and also unused ones to sleep just like battery doctor and greenify. But the main issue is that some of these apps will reopen by itself after put to sleep and this will even use up more resources on the phone.
*
i installed very less app and after TW put most of those apps to sleep and then no more new app put to sleep especially those samsung app

we are able to check the list of apps that are put to sleep

we are also can customize to always put selected apps to sleep or never put the app to sleep
but from the provided list, almost don't have samsung app for us to choose
i don't use bibxy and disable, want to totally put it to sleep also can't

Oh. Fast charging wireless original samsung? haha.. why u sell so fast.. but im not sure if the older ones support note 8? Or it doesnt matter?
Eh? Wireless not consider fast charging?  ohmy.gif

for sure it is support
wireless charging maybe will lose some power while transferring and the case is also another layer of blocking

Maybe some of you already know the below trick, but this is new to me

Note: The video is in chinese, but you still can guess that what is it about from the video. First, press. Then swipe.

Oh. 1.4 times only? Oh no. My cable is charging usually when my battery is at 15% it takes 1hr 30mins to fully charge. Wireless charging take so long.. Might as well not use at all. hahaha.. But what about the latest ones? Same or different? Should be a slight upgrade I suppose? haha..
*
i want to avoid to use the cable as much as possible, plus i am normally charge phone at night at home.
When at home, i use facebook, whatsapp, wechat, etc in PC
So no big deal to leave the phone on the wireless charger, i am not even look at it while charging

Haha. Usually will be charging at night. Afternoon/morning i use my powerbank, if i need. My work requires me to walk often, so i wont bring the wireless out at work. If old one can work and not much difference in charging speed then i can save a hundred bucks and buy a 2nd hand one..
True. Same here. I usually charge at night. I dont play my phone during work, only occasionally check whatsapp for work and browse fb during lunch time. By evening I will still have at least 30% battery. Which is still good. Considering my note 4 with new battery installed can still have about i think, 50% battery, didnt really notice as I dont play much with my note 4 anymore. hahaha.. too used to it. only browse chrome, fb and whatsapp.
Yeah, I saw, RM279, compatible with S8/S8+. And I also saw the new 2017 edition, RM339 that one, comes with convertible stand. Haha. Damn tempted to buy that. But RM339, already spent like RM500 on 2 cases and one SP. RM249 Clear Standing Cover, RM119 some SPIGEN case, and RM99 Spigen SP which came out about 2 days ago after i dropped my phone.  rclxms.gif lol. And I dont have a CC, and all my debit cards are not supported at the moment, I do have MBB, but its for work, so I wont use it for samsung pay. ahaha.. Oh well. Wont get a CC anytime soon as well.. So yea.. haha.. I saw lazada a lot, less than RM100 also got. But not sure can be trusted a not, selling price RM159, they sell at RM79. lol. I saw a few original ones selling at 259 i think. Haha.. 259 might as well go to samsung store and buy lol. nearby my house got samsung store. haha..

Btw, guys, the HAO SP must go their shop do? Can I order online and install myself? RM180 is expensive enough..  sad.gif
*
i have CC from 3 banks, debit card from another 3 banks but non of it supported by samsung pay rclxub.gif

Is note 8 screen non-scratchable? Screen protector function to prevent it from crack when it drop?
*
there is no such thing in the world that non-scratchable especially for a glass
it is just more resistance for scratch based on the factory standard
depend on what material that your screen touch and rub with

I am not receive it yet, so message to ask them on yesterday. It is because yesterday i email to samsung careline to ask for the certificate for the extended and screen warranty, samsung replied to ask for the receipt for them to proceed.

I got hoda 3D tempered glass Screen Protector on my note 8 for rm149 and it sucks...
The first thing is the edge part does not cover at all although it says it covers it... second is the touch functionality got impacted... need to press hard and sometimes it auto touches whe typing.
Not recommended 👎👎👎👎

Anyone else has the same issue?

Hi guys, any recommendations for car mounts that are stable enough to support the weight of N8?

Currently looking at magnetic based mounts as they are less conspicuous and doesn't require sticking on the dashboard. I have had bad experience with the mount coming off from the dashboard when car is parked outdoors & the worst happens when the weather is extremely hot.

Interested in Spigen or Aukey options but I'd welcome any cheaper alternatives without compromise in grip. Using the N8 with liquid air case whenever I'm out of the house so the mount must be able to handle the weight of the phone plus the case. What are you guys using? Would love something that allows for both landscape and portrait mode.

i saw my cousin who is using a big iphone using magnetic holder in the car and his phone fly off from the magnetic holder when sudden change in speed such as hard break or fast corner turning

Planning to get note8 from digi, is it worth it as currently I already using digi postpaid 80 for few year already.....
And I can void the advance payment so I only need pay 2k + for the note8 if I use 138plan....
Currently using oneplus3 with iphone6 ( but iPhone battery kinda got problem already)...
Thanks
*
138 - 80 = 58 X 24 = 1392 X 1.06 (GST) = 1475.52
2468 + 1475.52 = 3943.52
To me, it is not really save

why not you take the RM78 plan and just pay 3028 for the phone price?
3943.52 - 3028 = 915.52 + (24 X 1.06) = 940.96
it save you 940.96 compare to upgrade to 138 plan if you don't really need that much of data from 138 plan
