Estimated

http://www.soyacincau.com/2018/02/23/the-s...e-galaxy-note8/

I’m guessing same or RM100 more compared to the S8 and S8+

This post has been edited by attw: Feb 23 2018, 09:03 PM

If same or 100 more than s8 still feel accepted. Later price just 100+/- from note8

Well the RM is stronger now compared to when the S8 and S8+ was launched, so we have a tiny ray of hope

sunday 25th....1am local time..i will update in first post

Wah!!!
I used to do that, totally understand your feelings. haha!

i dont think SME want to sell more than 4k...

Cool ! Looking forward to it !

I think Samsung should know better now looking at the poor sales of the much anticipated Iphone X by Apple. It proves to show that no matter how high the anticipation, how well played your marketing strategy is and how your branding works, if you price your product too high without much innovation amd improvements to it, consumers will not play into tune. Simple to put it, consumers are not sheep anymore.

Definitely not more expensive than Note 8

Stereo speaker's hype is real

true bro...but im not cheap..i mean sheep. hahaha

rumors said price range same as note 8...but we will never know...maybe just wait official price

And yet we buy

if S series price as high as current Note, we can foresee samsung will jack up price for coming Note.. that is bad.. above 3.5k is already entering absurd price range for a smartphone, at that price could buy a full-fledged computer

absurd price? iphone price more than 4k..still people buy...well, hopefully s9+ wont go over 4k...

There something new for camera and stereo speakers

yes it is absurd, so 4k is even more absurd.. of course even if they put price 10k there always someone buying..

Just buy a month later for better price!!

buy 1 year later will be even better

not much different from S8.bad thing is battery 3000mah.need to skip this time

usually i will go 2nd or 3rd batch..same like my note 8..not coz of the price but 1st batch sure got defect.

If it gets listed in Qoo10 and if the pre-order features some discount just like the Note 8, then don’t need to wait a month, haha. Some of us bought the Note 8 at 3,178 with Qoo10’s voucher at launch

Tempting feel should I sell s8+ and wait for s9 qoo10 promo. I got my note 8 at 3178 with all the freebies

Ya, same here. Anyways I think it’s unlikely for Samsung to offer a discount this round but we’ll see

Biggest upgrade is the finger print location.. Other than that looks similar like S8/S8+. Seems like a minor facelift rather than a proper upgrade, which they did from S6 to S7.

I’d settle for the same features of the S8+, with the addition of 2GB RAM, stereo speakers and a bigger battery. Oh, and that fingerprint scanner location, of course

I agree, never the first batch for me too.

My s8+ and note 8 first batch no issue.

We want first batch because got freebies

I sudah insaf bro. Will not buy another phone for the year 2018.

The S9 battery is 3100 mah, additional 100 mah from the S8's battery.

Buy 6 month later when lazada got kaw kaw sale lol

True. Did you know that Brighstar, Official distributor for Oneplus Malaysia actually delayed the stocks to Qoo10 sellers because the seller accepted prerorders with the Rm300 discounts. So buyers got their phones 2 week after launch and the sellers could not get new stocks anymore. Not sure if Samsung will do the same to their dealers this round.

Yea sounds like this is what S8 should have been. I wonder if it's enough to persuade S8 owners to upgrade?

For those who hold out longer and skipped the S8, this will be a good choice.

True, first batch DO get freebies.
Sometimes it is also pure luck/unlucky if got issues...

Hahaha - I doubt you’ll be able to resist. Anyways I too may stay away from Android flagships this year, maybe just play around with the midrange ones.

Ya, if Samsung doesn’t protect the retail buyers most of their retail shops will fold if the price gap between the online and retail platforms are not checked

For android, Im taking a rest for now. Im waiting for the plus size iphone X or XI. Hopefully its going to be good.

Just get an iPad. iPhone just too boring already.

Already using one. Both are totally different gadgets and have different usage.

i think the biggest change here in s9 plus is camera with low aperture, fingerprint position, dual ios camera, and stereo speakers.

time for me to upgrade..from note 4 lol

1st batch always got issue - S8 red tinted screen

If I am you since you wait so long wait for note 9

It will have all s9 features and also more.

S series is for Samsung to test new features and it feedback positive it will be integrate into note series

Same. I’m now using a Redmi 5 Plus as a backup phone, ha ha... so even if I change that it’ll be for phones in that kinda price range

are you sure? lol

RM4999 for note 8 ?

according to their website

seems like not reliable

unless, you deduct a thousand from it

then seems ok haha

He said rm100 not rm1000

yea but on the website that author wrote RM49xx for note 8

Read the full article, bro

“So how much will it cost in Malaysia? Looking at the price difference with the Galaxy Note8 as a benchmark, it is clear that the Galaxy S9/S9+ would cost more than the current Galaxy S8/S8+ models but it won’t be higher than the Galaxy Note8. The larger Galaxy S9+ would be priced pretty close to the Galaxy Note8 and it could hover around RM3,899-RM3,999. For the smaller Galaxy S9, we are guessing that it could be priced around RM3,399-RM3,599.”

Anyways, it’s their estimation, doesn’t mean it’s correct.

Yasss..
Super excited this time.

I am clumsy, so when it comes to phone I want it protected.
My friend was like-what if it doesn't launch??
Choi!

haha my bad then because im playing a game and reading this thread when im "dead"

According to serial leakster @evleaks, the Galaxy S9/S9+ would be priced at 841 EUR (about RM4,036) and 997 EUR (about RM4,785) respectively. It sounds like a staggering amount but it’s common to see higher prices in Europe when compared to Malaysia. As a comparison, the Galaxy Note8 is priced at 999 EUR (about RM4,796) but it retails at only RM3,999 in Malaysia. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S8/S8+ were officially announced in Malaysia at RM3,299 and RM3,699 respectively, and it’s recently slashed by RM600.


Read bro... read. Don't shoot only. Told you many times this is not K.

yes yes my bad this time lol

as posted above your post

Selling more than s8+ will only kill Samsung S series market.

The hype for s8 is the infinity display with curve edge but s9 adopt most of s8 and price higher than s8 , this move might kill s9 sales.

Only pros better camera and stereo speaker

Certainly count me out except got good offer at qoo10

Looking at the specs alone, it would be a no brainer to get the S9 instead of the S9+. Unless it is substantially cheaper.

But if you upgrade from S8/S8 plus, S9 is not worthy at all since it only have 4GB ram and single len. From what I could see at it, S9+ is the true successor of S8/S8+. Meanwhile S9 is for the buyers who don't care about significant upgrade.

Or buyers who skipped the S8 and stuck to their S7 or S7 Edge.

Rumor says that there will be trade-in offer for the preorder.
Hopefully this is true.

Usually only for markets like US and Europe and Korea.

From my experience Samsung trade in are never worthy and price will be subject for them to give.

It could be true. Check the S9 interest registration link in sme facebook. Inside the registration form, they do ask if you are willing to trade in your phone. AFAIK, they never asked that question in previous launches.

Rumor become reality??
Hope so too .

Yeah, I remember filling in my ROI form my current phone was an iPhone X and was willing to trade in...

trade in value sure drop bro.. huhu...

The unpacked event is tomorrow night right?

only worthy for ppl new to samsung or s7 to s9

so sad s9 normal version still using single cam Watdafuk sammy.....

Technically it’s 1am on Monday morning.

yupz with trade in offer...just check on google


but galaxy s9 with single cam better make 1 model with dual cam lagi baik

Samsung s9 and s9+ gambar is here: www.facebook.com/cydintech . Ada gambar kat situ

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid...481939868659661

seems like removed.

here you go, S9 & S9+.

Seriously, they are more like S8s & S8s+.

The blue and violet color look very nice though, better than the color on S8 series.

Edit: Worth to mention, AR Emoji icon. I guess that's the new feature from Samsung to compete with Apple's Animoji.

looks so like s8 hahaha.

Leaked video but removed by Samsung . Here it is

https://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-acci...rly-youtube?amp

I think this phone has more to offer than previous version, depending on how the rumours turned out.

If you upgrade from S7 to S8, you are getting lesser than what you'll get when you upgrade from S8 to S9. Stereo speaker, dual aperture, ar emoji.

I was never a fan of marketing hype like infinity screen and it still stay that way. What you should look at are features that are long due such as stereo speaker. Last but not least, it will be the processing power. It seem like Samsung finally got the formulae right. The numbers are awesome.

subscribe

Ok la tu, iPhones have looked the same since iPhone 6

Bila cakap Ifag, marah pulak.

Anyway, no breakthroughs or innovation worth mentioning on the S9/S9+ which was already expected of Samsung. The S8/S8+ was already a good product, hard to improve something which was already very good.

stereo speaker,

why? to annoy everyone around you? or to get sub par experience from the mobile?

seems like less curve, as the mid frame is now thicker.

Why no one post this here? already on s8 thread

Reviewers mentioned it is looks exactly the same as the S8/S8+ albeit being a bit thicker.

For S9, yes. It's less curve similar to Note 8.

For S9 plus, it's curve is almost similar to S8 plus.

same outside design but inside different la.

yea inside diferent but not significant enough

S9+ should be about 3.6k
S8+ should drop to 2.6k since qoo10 already offered that 6months ago.

so is it worth to be pay for 3.6k when the difference is so little for additional 1k

After watching the introduction video, we could notice that Samsung keeps mentioning the word business all around the scenes. Usually the term "Business" is reserved for Note series.

Looks like nowadays the boundary between S series and Note series is ceased to exist.
