Ok I went to the Samsung shop and enquired about the trade up programme. So for the first time Samsung staff will install an app into your current phone to do diagnostic before accepting for trade. Whether it will check for Knox status due to root or not, he will get back to me after finding out from HQ. Trade up starts 16/3/18. Unlike last time just check exterior condition of phone. If anyone has info regarding the app, please share your information here.

QUOTE(ipohps3 @ Mar 2 2018, 01:18 PM) I thought trade in starts on the 9th March as stated qin the website. He told me 9th is for collection of s9 preorder buyers. Trade up stock only arrive on 16th. Anyway staff got back to me regarding the app. Rooted phone will be rejected due to tripped Knox status. |

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Mar 2 2018, 01:44 PM) Means they are dealer. They just make trade in look more professional with terms and condition. Why trade in different stock? Not like trade in you get more special pricem Means preorder buyer get phone a week earlier only. Can feel special a bit. Haha |

Just ordered ROCK transparent clear TPU case for s9+. Approx shipment date 12th-17th. It's a similar case I used for my s7 edge. Slight thickness at head and chin area of phone, can protect screen from hitting the floor but can't protect against non flat surface. There's air pocket at 4 corners for shock absorption.
Dbrand skin I used for my s7 edge before..problem with it is the rim colour around our camera will come off after some time. Take note on that only lo. Not that nice la when u want to sell the phone.

QUOTE(spoon2272 @ Mar 5 2018, 08:43 AM) Thickness rubber at head and chin area will prevent your screen from touching the ground, minor gap. But if your floor has stone or roads, then no protection. I rarely will drop my phone. |

QUOTE(Kagekiyo @ Mar 5 2018, 10:55 AM) Yes, the direct conversion means that the retail price in Indonesia is slightly cheaper than what it is being sold her at full retail price (RM3,799 for the S9+ 64BG variant?). I'm not sure if the 12,999,000 IDR includes tax already as i didn't ask the sales person. What i found interesting is the ability to change the aperture f-stops between f/1.5 and f/2.4 via hardware will allow you to adjust your camera for either extremely low light/shallow depth of field since both apertures are wide angle. Anyway, as to not get overly technical - ultimately whether this feature will be deemed useful in real life situations for the end user is yet to be seen. The average consumer will stick to the default automatic settings. Saw couple of YouTube video reviewing the s9 f1.5. realise low light situation, highlights quite easily over exposed. I'm talking about auto mode here. Maybe old f1.7 is more highlights/shadow friendly in auto mode. I'll only use pro mode in extreme extreme condition, we always want to take fast photo right instead of adjusting settings all the time. Just my 2cts. |

I think s9/s9+ is the refinement of s8 version. Not expecting any big innovation even I come from s7 edge. Keyword is just REFINEMENTS. better camera. Better speakers and etc.
What I would like to see is newer quickcharge version or new type of battery than can last longer but still stay slim.

QUOTE(cyanboy @ Mar 14 2018, 11:44 AM) I ordered blue on 2nd March. Yesterday they updated tracking however till today it’s untraceable. Messaged the seller for self collection they replied they’re arranging self delivery to doorstep for Regional Klang valley customers. Looks like need to be patient a bit for the other colours except midnight black.. Hopefully getting their call soon.. going to be 1 week old Liao the model... Midnight black also haven't receive. Just have tracking number which can't track. |
