I am using that and I am happy with its existence.  rclxms.gif

So do iPhone 7,8 and 10 have those secure folder feature or something similar? I am curious.
*
yup. been using that for few years now. its an app you download from itunes. makes iphone like a pendrive where you could put anything into it from laptop or move files & stuff from the phone into it, EXCEPT another apps. Then you could create a password to lock it like secure folder.

Much better & convenience than secure apps.

Note that I'm Using Spigen Neo Hybrid Black. Case Friendly. 1mm space at both side, 2mm space at top & bot.

Weakness - It cant cover whole screen & it has black bezel at both sides which makes it to covered a little bit of screen at left & right edge screen. You could actually see abit of light from the screen. (the light is not light bleed from the phone)

Cincai screen sensitivity testing:-
Click for Video -----> Testing



Damage: RM65 (Back Screen Protector given by fren (Not HP Acc. Seller))
Material: Tempered Glass
Adhesive: Full Glue / Adhesive
Item included: Alcohol Wipe, Dry Wipe, Installation Bracket, Squeegee made using paper & Hard box.


~~Since this is the only tempered glass i've bought for my note 8, may i ask if all case friendly have the same weakness? (black bezel at both side cover 1-2mm of the egde)

no all TP have black line at the edge
normally the black line is to cover the visible adhesive
i suspect that the full adhesive TP is using 2 types of adhesive, middle is using the same as film adhesive which is weaker and can't see by eyes, but at the edge still using the visible adhesive to make it stick stronger to the screen
*
Cant see any different glue at the side. Just the same layer for whole screen.

This pendrive function. You can drag & drop files into iphone using cable?

If you can't have apps inside this pendrive to run those files, would that compromise the files somewhat?
*
Dun need any apps inside to run apps like android. You click the file you wanna open, it'll open up with the right app automatically. Far better than samsung's secure folder.

I would thought Samsung's would be more secure.

In the Secure Folder, it contains the Files and the apps you wanted to use. In other words, the apps are also secure. Whereas in iPhone, that apps open both the secure and un-secured files.
*
nope. iphone's should be considered more secure. its like a safe. it even has the option to delete everything inside if wrong passwords are typed for certain times, without harming any other thing outside the so called app. The apps itself is a container, it doesnt open anything, secured or unsecured files. it just direct files inside it to be opened by a different compatible apps. And its faster to look for files to be locked inside than samsung's due to ios platform. sorry to say, i love note 8 but there's certain thing iphone leads the way.

I certainly agree with you Jeffreynsx. Let's wait and see if they implement it to the Note 9 or X.

Most probably Apple will go with the sapphire glass 1st. Apple bought a whole sapphire glass manufacturing company 2-3 years back. All their back camera is made with sapphire glass since iphone 5S if i'm not wrong bout the 1st model & they're still thinking of how to use it on main screen (most probably how to suck more money).

No need. I just went to Samsung Experience Store to make a complaint and immediately they take another new TP to replace for me. Their after sales service is good provided you keep the original receipt for future reference. Despite the TP is not 100% good based on overall review, but the replacement process rest me assured my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 working properly.
*

there's only limited units, so when it's fully redeemed, it will display as event ended. this was stated clearly in the t&c.
[attachmentid=9394256]

also, how is that abuse? they are playing within the t&c. they are just putting effort to maximize their chances to redeem it, sort of like a contest. and some people likes to join contest as a hobby. i see nothing wrong with that.

why wanna call them names?
*
Agree. they didnt break any law or rules. Needless to jealous over them. I guarantee everyone who give names to the fella will do them same if they know this way before it ended.

I don't have a big hand and don't have problem with the finger print sensor location either. In fact, it make me hold the phone more securely whenever I want to use my phone.

But I think the position may be a bit difficult for left handed person.
*
I use phone lefthanded..hand not big..and ex-iphone user for 7 years non-stop over various models..Note 8 fingerprint is good enough....easy to reach even sometimes accidentally unlock the phone...

what i see, if any of you guys over here not owning 1 & used it before, try borrow from a fren and use it for maybe 2-3 days...what u see and test at shops, is not what you actually feel when really using it..

I am not left handed but i like to hold my phone with my left hand and uses my left finger to unlock the phone.. i have big hands and long fingers (cos I play basketball) so i can easily reach the fingerprint sensor effortlessly..
like everyone said... not everyone will like the placement of the sensor but it works for some.. i think most who criticise the placement is the ones that either don't own the phone or never try it long enough..
my 2 cents..

well some people complain alot...iphone x no fingerprint, they complain dun hav. note 8 got, they complain hard to reach...even if the note 8 fingerprint positioned at place they want, they'll just complain about other things...

I started using smartphones since Nokia 5800 Xpress Music (kind of) to O2 mini to iPhone 4 to iphone 5s to iphone 6 to iphone 6s...The Best i ever had is Note 8 for smartphones...Perfect smartphone? None in this world...All i can say is, Note 8 is almost perfect (currently)...even drop test on it from multiple reviewers ((youtube or any sites) really amaze me for a full glass (except bezel) phone...

For those who like to transfer whatsapp from iPhone (ios 11 also working) to Note 8. Guarantee 100% working:

Wondershare Dr.Fone Toolkit for iOS


(Dun ask me where to get. You're on your own)



And, looks like Maxis services really good to me. Received the phone on 18/11/2017, warranty started on 30/11/2017. (yeah, now only get the "Warranty Registered" status.) Called their customer service to ask, they answer was "giving extra 2 weeks to ensure no problem". Weird.

It is normal because your phone warranty is activated 2 weeks before by Samsung so  Telco got 2 weeks to delivery to customer.

No wonder lar. Last time using iphones, dun hav. warranty started the day i receive the phone. except iphone last time get 1 year extra warranty.
