QUOTE(taf89 @ Mar 4 2018, 02:09 PM) Whatever processors they throw in, it will be more than good and fast enough for the usual FB, Intagram, Whatsapp, Emails and handling calls. Its only how power efficient they make their processor to be which would be the main concern. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Mar 4 2018, 04:14 PM

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 4 2018, 11:29 AM) When I see the 128GB one hit 3.1k then I’ll fire  Wah.. that would be pushing it. People just bought and haven't even got their phones yet leh. QUOTE(kding2 @ Mar 4 2018, 01:47 PM) Indeed. Since I always holding my phone with my left phone, using my left finger to unlock the Note 8 is extremely fast and convenient. I once saw my friend opening his J7 with finger print in front, the gesture of his finger looks awkwardly funny to me. Left hand holding the phone and his right thumb putting on the front sensor to unlock the phone. Don't look very elegant to me.  I don't see a need for the on screen fingerprint sensors as well.

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Mar 4 2018, 06:43 PM) if you got alot spare cash to repair or enjoy crack screen no need to cover but when the floor meets your phone congratulations. Don't be clumsy ass then. Even the best backcovers won't be able to hold.

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Mar 5 2018, 07:58 AM) It's call accident not clumsy. Google the definition of accident. What the point cars must come with insurance why don't just be don't clumsy. Hahahaha You can buy third party insurance if you dont think you need comprehensive ones and if u are a safe driver. The law requires you to buy insurance for your car mainly so that the other third party that you gets into an accident with you gets awarded if you were at fault. They couldnt care less if you couldnt get compensation for your own mistakes.

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 5 2018, 08:17 AM) You can be very careful, but if the idiot next to you is a clumsy a$$ and bumps you while you're holding your phone, then you're gonna wish your phone was in an Otterbox Defender or something, ha ha... Then you are being clumsy for not holding your phone firmly.

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Mar 5 2018, 07:17 PM) The demo unit probably will appear in the stores one or two days before the launch event. But you can only buy it started from 9th March. But if my memory serves me right, he didn't appear in Note 8 thread when it was released. But thanks to S9, now he is quite active in the Note 8 thread as well. I still remember he did send me some gay photos in PM when I was posting some thing in S8 thread last year. Not sure if it was him since different username.  Lol...this I remember. Its him alright. I wonder why he never gets tired of this. QUOTE(un_id @ Mar 5 2018, 09:01 PM) Beware he join again yet with another new account today, spotted on Note 8 thread. LOL Just ignore lo. His troll account just got banned. Thats why he created another new account. The more you guys respond to him, the more excited he gets. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Mar 5 2018, 09:43 PM

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Mar 6 2018, 01:22 PM) Hopefully that's the case. Actually I don't worry about the battery life on Samsung phones. As long as you know how to tinker with the settings, you could get a lot better on the battery juice. It's just that I feel a little bit disappointed because I always thought new proccssor chip = better efficiency = better battery life. Anyway, this test is still a good reference for the future owners especially those who upgraded from S8 series, so that they would know what's coming up for them when they receive the phone.  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. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Mar 6 2018, 01:44 PM

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 7 2018, 04:13 PM) Ya, I get that, but for me personally I’d prefer a bigger battery  I dont think battery efficiency can be related to TW and Samsung in general. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Mar 7 2018, 05:42 PM

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Mar 7 2018, 06:20 PM) https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMalaysia/ph...?type=3&theaterCould be the artists from K-drama "Love in the Moonlight". Samsung already gave the hint in their facebook. Either one of them, or all of them. (Pics below) 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.

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 8 2018, 07:35 AM) Nice. Just out of curiosity though, won’t you miss the S-Pen coming from a Note series to the S series? Dont kacau people lar.  Some will still prefer the simplicity of the S9. Honestly, I dont think I have really used the SPen before on my N8. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Mar 8 2018, 12:05 PM

QUOTE(Snoopycute98 @ Mar 8 2018, 09:24 PM) By the way, is 4GB Ram sufficient for nowadays? Cuz I got the S9 not the S9+ which has 6GB of Ram  I would say 4Gb would be the minimum., 6Gb would be adequate and 8gb would be overkill.

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 9 2018, 03:06 PM) But WQHD+ drains more battery right? Technically yes. U can see many users lowering their display settings in order to preserve battery life on the IPhone X forums. But by how much I am not sure.
