Which seller did you buy it from? I've been looking at note 8 deals in lazada for the past week and what I noticed from reviews is that units that are sold by lazada or tesco are sealed and buyers have to register warranty themselves while units from other sellers are usually new units but unsealed and warranty already registered. But yeah, your registered date is quite far from your purchase date.

This looks awesome. 1st time I ever like a white phone. Even that black camera and fingerprint module doesn't bother me as much as the other colors. Too bad it's special edition.

I'm planning to buy this phone but not sure if I should wait a bit in case there are CNY promotions.

I hope poslaju won't screw or delay my delivery. Going to join you guys soon.

Parcel arrived! Poslaju surprised me this time.

1st time got to unseal and unbox a phone. Lol. Usually those samsung guys do it for me. Hopefully phone is ok. Hands itchy but in office can't really enjoy unboxing. Haha

Thanks. Lol. I got the midnight black. Didn't expect it to arrive today. Few backing ups need to be done tonight.

Guys, for AOD the clock & info isn't suppose to be moving? Mine just stay in the middle of the screen. Any burn in issue later? Also how to get just black background in AOD? Mine got the live wallpaper dots. I can't find way to turn it off.

I also like the free case by Samsung but the clear case is a bit messy and cannot tahan can see dusts in it. Lol. I'm looking for similar thin casing, black colour with buttons cutouts. The closest I found is ringke slim.

Still looking for options. As long as they are not thick or bulky or clear. I rarely use case with my phones but this one is too big for me to feel comfortable using without one. Also clear cases can still look greasy easily that's why I prefer the matte type.

Btw quite lucky I started bixby from beginning to collect the rewards points. Two more transactions this month to upgrade to silver. Lol.

Yea. Just minimal protection without adding too much thickness to the phone. Haven't bought the insurance though. Haha. Thinking maybe screen crack insurance only.

Not really much of an issue. I've been using spay with gear s3 since it was available. Just change to phone and need to use a bit more to get to 50 a month. My only issue is RHB debit only allows up to 30 wave transactions. Then need to reset with pin. Rugi 1 transaction. Lol.

Just got it 2 days ago. Lol. Need to buy quickly.

Yea. Need to get it quickly. Hopefully nothing happen between today to the day i buy.

I only use debit for spay. Cimb only can use credit card so my cimb debit cant use. The only other debit I have is rhb with that restriction. Also rhb only allow 1 device per card so I can only register to either phone or gear. Personally I prefer to pay with gear as it is the most convenient but samsung rewards is priority now. Lol. Hopefully they'll offer gear vr again.

When we take picture with live focus, the phone will save both close up & wide angle pictures. Is there any way we can delete the wide angle without deleting the close up?

I wish i can wait until 1 month too to register but quite scared. Lol. I want to buy the insurance quickly so I don't have to worry about not using sp or tg. Never used or liked using them. If got insurance then can worry less. Haha.

Can buy insurance up to 1 month after warranty starts. Just that dont know what can happen within that 1 month if wait too long to buy the insurance. Just now my mom just stepped on my phone. Lol. Scary sh*t this phone. Buying screen crack insurance today or tomorrow.

What's the cause of this actually? Phone dropped or bumped onto something and case didn't manage to protect? Or case too tight? Or you change cases too often? That's really an eyesore for an all black device. Anything you do to cover it? I don't think service centre can do anything, no?

Wah. Thanks for the info. Can get 20% off for warranty / insurance. I've read the T&C and I think there's no mention of need to buy on the same day the phone is bought, right? Just that within 30 days of purchase is eligible.

Got my case today. Finally settled with spigen thin fit. Much more grippy compared to the free case. Thin, light, buttons cutouts, everything that I need. I don't really like to use case but this phone is too big for me to baby like my previous phones. Lol.

I don't think I'll be using SPay when refueling as I'm using shell and doesn't seem like they want to do anything paywave. All need physical card. But in RHB FAQ for SPay, they have this disclaimer :
*For safety reason, Samsung Pay will not work at the Petrol Self Service Kiosks.

That's odd. I got my phone almost 2 weeks ago and battery performance has been solid. Standby overnight with location on, wifi all night, I lost about 1% every 2 hours.

I went to the new Samsung SES store in Pavilion this evening to buy the screen crack warranty with 20% off. Turned out warranty counters are not open as per usual mall operating hour. When I went there all counters were off-duty and when I asked one of the assistants there, at 1st he said until 8 o'clock, but then he checked his watch then said until about 7 o'clock like that. It was 7:30 pm that time.

I think the secret recipe outlets that I went to use nfc/paywave terminal and I've used spay to pay without issue.
