Gosh, the hype is really not there anymore.

Mainly I think is due to the marketing strategy by Samsung, a lot might be waiting for the roadshow offer...

Which previously proved that will be having better deal compare to preorder~

capped at RM60 only. Qoo10 you get less RM400 le

Yea, I guess other platform no capping, highest cash back rate is Qoo10 but the good colour sold out 

Qoo10 is now 8% cashback from 4%

Lcd crack take 400 to 500

managed to play around with s9 plus unit yesterday...very solid and tempting... maybe too soon for me to upgrade from note 5......waiting for note9..

do they cover screen crack warranty?

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.

You pre-ordered from SenQ as well?
