after owning the best of worlds, this is my personal comparison between iPhone X & note 8

- for normal day to day use, iphone x ios is definitely smoother than note 8, especially when scrolling in instagram, fb, web browsing, etc.
- iphone x face id is much better than note 8 face recognition.
- note 8 has fingerprint & iris scanner is a plus point.
- iphone x speaker is much better & louder than note 8.
- note 8 screen is more beautiful & better than iphone x.
- iphone x feels small (coming from iphone 7 plus). if there is iphone x plus option it would be much better.
- battery life, note 8 wins hands down. but iphone x battery is not bad too.
- note 8 camera is better for bright color photos, but iphone x camera looks more natural.
- love the raise/tap to wake screen on iphone x, too bad this feature is not available on note 8.
- a lot of apps are not optimised for iphone x yet.
- bought note 8 at rm3150 (Qoo10) & iphone X at RM6300 (SG set). that's double the price 
- i get more peoples attention when they see me using the iphone x. its really good for chick magnet & to make people jealous   my friends weren't impressed when they saw my note 8, but when they see me using iphone x most of them would ask to see, hold & take pictures of the iphone x.

but in the end, both phones are nice. both have their own pros & cons.
i love & am using both of them together since i have 2 numbers.

p/s: once again, this is just my personal opinion. other people might have different opinion.

Try evaluating both phones under scale of 10. How much does the X and note 8 get based on your personal usage + price value?

i would say, my preference would be:
iphone x - 9/10
note 8 - 8/10
because i'm more used to using iphone, note 8 is my 1st android phone that i was attracted to give a try.
the only downside of iphone x is the size feels small & maybe the price is too high.

Guys,

Good idea to install over rm100 tempered glass? Any different than cheap one?

Since iphone 5, i never buy over rm30 glass. Always buy those rm10-20. If the tempered glasss break in a few month, i just replace.

But iphone x is quite expensive and front glass probably not strong as its advertised?

A bigger version of the X should be coming next year but would it be worth it considering how much the X costs now?

Hi guys, may I know how much do I need to pay if I cane the contract right after the first month?

I heard that uMobile is free or charge to terminate the contract?

Means that I purchase the iphone X 256GB with discounted price and cancel the contract right after the month.

Last time I used to bought my i7 plus 256gb from umobile but it was prepaid plan. It saved me aboht 400+ and I never use the service since the first day

Please advise thankss a lot

FAILED ATTEMP TO GET FROM Changi x3, HKIA X2, US x1

Yet again fail to get from Apple Store Shinsaibashi. They said dunno when will restock. Finally ordered from Maxis 128 Plan for my wife.

Care to explain that the device advance RM714 is? I paid for the phone RM3700 after GST and monthly 128. But what is the advance?

I am thinking to get Digi for myself. Any advice?

The advance payment is to cover themselves. It will be credited back to your Maxis account’s bill.

When did you order from Maxis? I’m waiting for it to be back on stock, want to get another unit at a subsidised price since I’m planning to upgrade my current MOP98 to MOP128 as I need more monthly data quota.

I ordered to 9.30am today KL time (for my wife) and still for stock for Silver 64, Maxis. Delivery on 24th 9am onwards.

For myself i thought wanna got for Digi 78 plan but almost kena tipu. I realized the Phone price is FROM 3400 before GST. For Digi 78 plan, phone is RM 3895 before GST. I abandon plan to join Digi.

A bigger version of the X should be coming next year but would it be worth it considering how much the X costs now?

I would suggest the thread owner to update on what to check when receive the phone on the first page.

Like listing down all possible issue with this phone such as the green line.

1) check the box for any dent especially at the corner. The plastic is not like last time, its folded sticked with glue, so no need cutter or knife.

2) make sure your capacity is correct

3) open it, and check the following items available or not: the phone itself, the booklet with apple stickers + sim eject pin, earphone (no longer in a clear plastic box - cut cost maybe), 3 pin + USB.

4) check the phone for any visible defect. Don't check for finger prints on the screen. its useless, and u cant change the phone due to some stupid reason.

5) turn on the phone and don't insert the sim card first. WHY? as reason no 6

6) DO NOT ACTIVATE THE PHONE YET. Once u insert the sim card, they will try to connect to the internet and activate the phone. Once u activate the phone and u have found a manufacturing defect after that, GG, u will need to send it for warranty and u will suffer for few days or maybe weeks. SO PLEASE DONT LET THE MAXIS CS SERVICE TO DO WHAT EVER HE LIKES. be strict with them. Its a 5k item anyway and you don't want a defect item.

7) Inspect the screen, make sure there is no green or yellow single line especially the edge of the phone. If u find one, request a replacement on the spot. Make a noise if the maxis CS is trying to bullshit u of not giving u any replacement on the spot.

8) Insert simcard now after u have found no green/yellow line and activate the phone using the cellular data/wifi. Yes, now. Yellow tint screen is normal, and u can only disable the true tone once u activate the phone. So accept it as it be, unless u think its abnormal, just claim the warranty, and suffer for few days of not managed to show everyone at Facebook.

9) Test the face ID. Should be easy to set it and it will works flawlessly.

10) If u wanna test Siri, make sure remove the plastic screen protector first.

11) Close the phone, and restart back.

12) Test the charger, test the earphone.

Other tips: GET A SCREEN PROTECTOR AND CASING READY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE or BEFORE U GET THE IPHONE. U will never want to use this phone naked.
All tips above i've gather from my previous experiences buying the iPhones from maxis 2 years ago and before, together with my experience with the iPhone X at SG. The tips might be outdated as there's might be some improvement or change in maxis policy. Goodluck.

===
ive just realised, this is a general iphone x thread and not maxis thread. But most of it may seems to be valid. I know if DiGi at SS2, they will not open the box and let you open the box yourself even at home.

Nah

A bigger version of the X should be coming next year but would it be worth it considering how much the X costs now?

I see, I’m looking at the 256GB models. Not sure if there’ll be any further restocks.

P/S: Maxis’ price shown is also before GST.

The next iteration of the Plus model of the Iphone X will definately hit the Rm7k mark. Question is, would it still be logical enough to buy it at that price then. By then, our X will be dated too. 

dint manage to queue for pre-order yesterday. I was planning to get it on Harvey Norman or SenHeng on 24th Nov. any advice?
