Oh you mean the failures after much touted improvement over the years.

* Are we being fooled by monkeys after 5 versions?  LOL

you not get me
gorilla glass improvement direction is more on crack than scratch
and a lot of info online will tell you that why more improvement on crack for glass will cause less improvement on scratch (not means it never improve, but slow and less improvement vs crack)

you also can tell that there are material can achieve both at high scores
if you are willing to pay a lot more expensive price for it
then note 8 no more 3999 and iphone x no more 5k++
maybe you will need to add another 1k for both

yeah, and it takes around 2 days to clear the block. BHP hold RM200 though. It's better to go to the counter and tap with phone.
*
after pumped then only go to counter to pay for the exact amount with spay (credit card), it is still holds RM200?
or it will charge the exact amount only?

Trust your 5 gorillas fellas, get a flip cover. Settle. No need headache this that.

I never used barrier ( SP) on my note edge, when I bought new
*
and then you will see few more people join the regret group of those who shared their experience that using the phone naked without sp, even with flip case, still got scratches

today went to apple store to touch the IphoneX, one lady tested infront me , and told his husband, the entire phone i dont feel special but overpriced, only thing that impressed me and look into it is the wireless charger. i was like err. hahaha

but tbh iphone x LCD is so much better when they put along side with iphone 7/8

I like the screen too,look nice and the screen design is more towards bezeless compare to note 8 which still having small area on top and bottom

But in terms of productivity,note 8 still the best
*
to me, iphone x can't consider bezeless cos it still have obvious frame
and the top notch is still consider big bezel, just that it have 2 small display at both sides only

samsung can take away the bottom bezel
but maybe to have same size of bezel at top and bottom look better than just top bezel only
and also to have bigger size to assemble more parts into the phone

those front sensors and camera are still the limitation to make the phone full screen display

Dude, was going to the N8 from above mentioned shop until I read your post. You got a full refund?? Seriously from a phone shop in this country?? That's amazing, what did you do.
They actually refunded with the above flaws. With some of the worst after sales service on the planet, good for you. Usually it will be sour lemon face the moment one has a problem with a purchase.

The registration claim by them is totally false.  The other two flaws is the particular unit you got or others too here having screen bleed?

Pity the next guy who's gonna get your returned unit as a "new fully sealed set".
*
doubt that are they able to sell it as a new set since the warranty is registered with his information by SME already

Wrong. My unit was sold to me with already registered warranty (which is 6/11, device bought at 11/11) and I managed to email samsung my receipt, imei, serial number and my personal details and got the warranty start date changed to 11/11. It took 1-2 days but they did do it.

So, can they sell you a used unit and claim it to be new? Absolutely. if someone is not careful it can be done.
*
you can't 100% proof it because you didn't ask sme that your device is now registered under who because they update the information to you

after the device warranty is registered, it should be not allow to change anymore even we sold it to others

btw, saw in those S8/S8+ online shops feedback before that many buyers asked that why are their device warranty registered earlier than their purchase date

if all are used unit, i am wondering that how come have so many "used" set that only used for few days

True, I can't proof if it's new or used. But from what I learned from Samsung and their warranty start date policy, it states that the warranty start date is based on purchase date, not before that. If it's already registered and the date is before my purchase date then... how? LoL.
Thing is, I'm not saying every NEW unit is a used unit. It could be true that it was registered when the shop purchase it as a form of proof of purchase by the distributor to the shop. Proof what? that its a genuine SME unit and not an import. Samsung understands this procedure, it's not normal procedure but Samsung would still allows the customer to change the warranty start date later on after purchase by providing appropriate documentation (purchase receipt, imei, serial number).

As usual la, there's the right way to do it and there's the song sang upside down rightside up way. As long as Samsung can make money I think they will continue to do this.

If your worried then just check everything on the spot before paying. Check the device, no scratch, dust, dirt, hair and the warranty. Yes, check the warranty on the spot, if it's already registered, then go ask them why. If your not happy then just walk away.
*
samsung merchant can register the phone warranty without submit the receipt using the registration software that is given to them

during note 8 pre-order, some qoo10 sellers able to sell the same pre-order offer as samsung official offer, already make me wonder that are these sellers actually not directly get the stock from sme, but through another samsung merchant
so they may depend on the others to register warranty on behalf of them

all these are my own guess, we are all just guessing
unless those who know the truth at behind willing to tell us about it

Iris quite inaccurate at outdoors especially under the sun or at open area

so far, i have no issue to use iris at any places
the only thing to take note is not to let the scanner direct facing the strong light in a straight line

i feel that note 8 camera is over sensitive to the dust detection
i got the "clean dust" message several times
this morning, want to take a photo of a thing outside the car, maybe due to the car window slightly dusty? so note 8 showed me the "clean dust" message again, and then i lost the change to take the photo because blocked by other cars stopped beside me
