can anyone comment?

Sorry, Quick noob question, for the Samsung trade up program right. Do we need to have the box and accessories as well or is the phone alone enough?

alah .. really loved the screen coverage on the pre order last year...  more than the other freebies ..  too bad this year no coverage for s9. then no point rush to buy pre order set for me. wait price drop first then .. haha

you jumping ship liao? to s9?

note 8?

when will it available in Samsung stores?

Two times in a year. Galaxy and Note launches.

16 is the 2nd batch.Missed the first batch haiizzz

Future updates to S9 might change this depending on user reception once the device is out in masses to consumer. Too early to conclude right now but Anandtech's initial test of S9+ exynos version did hinted that samsung did something to match performance of the exynos variant with the snapdragon one. He also stated that sammy representative said the units at MWC isnt optimized yet (production unit might be lower clocked or use a diff cpu/gpu scheduler?? maybe)

Technically you are right. But the thing with Samsung phones is their TW fw, and how heavily laced it is with Samsung features...urm bloatware. Compared to previous TW, it doesn't lag anymore but battery drain is still as bad. If you want Samsung phones, that is the issue that you have to give and take on. But looking on the bright side, TW looks better and have more features to make you user experience better compared to stock vanilla android.

Better efficiency is true but that doesn't directly translate to longer usage time or longer screen on time.

Example below:
Chip 1 (old architecture design) is running straight at constant 2Ghz = screen on time could translate to around 4hours
Chip 2 (new architecture and more optimized running at constant 2.5Ghz = screen on time could translate to around 4hours

Both devices using the above example mentioned have the same battery life (for SOT) but Chip 2 is more optimized. If Chip 1 need to run at 2.5Ghz to meet Chip2's processing ability, then it might get only 3.5hours of battery life.

Every new gen demands higher processing ability due to more features, more required computation (even for camera to do HDR or white balance or denoise) and better cpu/gpu processing which translate to smoother and faster UI transitions.

The way to increase battery life that you expect here is bumping battery capacity but that will diminish the premium solid looking device that is for 2018's standard here and weight as well.

and they going to bring another korean artist to come again
but still no idea who is the artist that will be coming

So you guys could actually line up to get a special autographed edition backcover or something like the event for note 8 last year if I remember correctly.

Only better than preorder if you’re planning to do PWP and spend more money

Guys blue coral color cun ka? Most  lilac purple sold out edi

Surprisingly FB doesn't consumed much in this section. Disable the activity in background will make FB app consumed more. But majority came from the Android System.
