When you bought note 4? You must have bought it after its been released for a while right?  Note 4 came with kitkat. Then updated to lollipop. And then Marshmallow.  2 major updates in 2 years. Same goes to note 5 (lollipop -marshmellow - nougat).  So no worry la. Our note 8 confirmed will get updates in next 2 years. smile.gif

O ya.. I totally forgot about lollipop. ahahhaa.. Thats where my note 2 is stuck at now. But its mobo is dead ad. sad.gif Served me well for over 4 years. True true.. Till Android 9.0 Oreo Double Chocolate. XD hahaha

Haha. Same colour, its dark blue. haha.. xD Yeah. But this magnet is certified by samsung, thats why can use the spen still. xD The magnet is not that strong compared to a phone holder one. xD

Finally got my Note 8.

Bought a tempered glass screen protector (brand: Skool) - the sensitivity is crap. Need to press harder get a reaction from the phone.

Casing will still go back to Spigen - bought the Tough Armor. Think i will need another screen protector lol
*
I had a spigen SP. Bought from Samsung Official Store. Dropped my note 8 and the SP came right off. Didnt use it at all. Wasted RM99. Phone still good. Using Standing Cover Case. The RM249 one. Not sure which model of spigen SP i used. Not gonna use spigen anymore. The touch also same as yours, need to press hard and sometimes doesnt register my finger at all. Damn frustrating typing with it. Once it came off everything back to normal. Prefer without SP, but then dust lor..

QUOTE(xisan @ Oct 4 2017, 10:36 PM)
Ya S8+. Last time I pre-ordered and used the Gray for 2 months. Lag every time because of the UI. This Coral Blue I bought in end of August and after updated to latest version, can't see any lag anymore. Hard for me to let it go, but have to as Note 8 is here. laugh.gif
*
Ah.. I straight jump to Note 8 from my note 4. I'm more of a note fan. Since Note 2, already become note fan. Didnt get a chance to play the first Note. haha. Dont really fancy the S series from samsung. haha.. I have A series also, but old one, 2015 one i think. Haha. Ok la, i got it cheap cause the screen is cracked. lol. 2nd hand, everything good except the screen crack. All working fine.

Try updating all your apps and software. New phone sure apps got a lot of updates. Always keep updating and checking play store and galaxy apps.

Last Saturday, I had one of my 2 units installed with HAO 5D.  There are actually 3 versions to choose from; full coverage, semi coverage, and case friendly.  The insanely expensive retail prices inclusive of installation are RM280, RM280, and RM180 respectively but there is a 15% discount if you remember to mention you are a forum member.

The difference between the full and semi coverage is that the full coverage covers almost all of the LCD thus making it incompatible with most cases.  I chose the semi coverage version after being assured that it will fit nicely with the Samsung Protective Standing Cover which I had yet to purchase because it was out of stock at most places.

As previously explained by some forum members, HAO 5D for Note8 is actually a 3 layer product consisting of a transparent film, adhesive, and tempered glass.  If you decide to get this, make sure you have an hour to spare because the installation will take a good 30 to 40 minutes behind public viewing but they will offer you a free drink or two and their PS4 to play with while waiting for the installation to complete.

Make no mistake, the HAO 5D for Note8 being a curved tempered glass does not share the same strength and properties as their normal flat tempered glass.  You cannot bend or drop it like in this video MALAYSIA HAO TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR or use it as a hammer like in this video
HAO 5D [ Impact Shield ] Full Tempered Glass where it would most certainly crack and you will have an excuse to kick yourself.    Sad to say I only found out about this midway during the installation which by then was too late to back out.

Anyway, the end result is simply stunning.  I would say clarity is unaffected to the untrained eye of most people.  Sensitivity is surprisingly normal at the edge but is slightly robbed off elsewhere and is most noticeable during keyboard typing where you might have to type just a tad harder than your normal feather touch.

Uncompressed pictures taken with Note8
[attachmentid=9211604]
[attachmentid=9211605]
[attachmentid=9211607]
[attachmentid=9211608]

Will I install this on my 2nd unit?  The answer lies with HAO if it is willing to rectify the sensitivity issue with my 1st unit.

I know some forum members believe casing and/or screen protectors are scams and are probably laughing at me for being a sucker but I can only wish them all Good Luck and take good care of your precious.

Very detailed review bro. Wow. Good thing I'm still thinking twice on TAP SP. Haha. So there is a sensitivity issue like the SP I had? I think the problem could be our phones LCD screen. I watched a water test on note 8 and they recommend note to use it because the LCD will read the water as a finger. Thus making touching the screen while under water useless. If rain and stuffs it's still ok. At the moment my phone has no SP or TG. I use a flip cover so I'm worried that much. But I'm still planning to get which is case friendly. Preferably from a Samsung store sometime end of this month or the following month. XD

Thumbs up to your review though. Good job bro.
