get 7 instead, now around RM1.9k on Shopee ( sold by Mobile Corner ) or can just get from mobile2go aka GStore on Lazada at RM1999, these are all china set 8+256

855 is definitely better than 845 and battery performance is better too

Very much. Samsung has much evolved from the earlier Touchwiz to Samsung Experience to One UI now. Bloatware has been drastically reduced on the One UI but the firmware is still far from "perfect". Compared to Oxygen, One UI is still not at its level, yet.

Price almost same
All the depend on personal preference

You would have to redo all the Qualcomm modem settings every time you update your phone... unless it is a partial update.
Yes. the 7T is slightly smaller in size and some people (like me) would prefer its smaller size. I wish they make the OP7T the size of the OP6 and OP6T. The OP7 Pro is just way too big for me. But after looking at the pictures, the 7T seems not that small as well.

If the price of the 7T is similar to the 7 Pro. then might as well get the 7 Pro. More so especially when it's price is dropping now since the OP7T and OP7T Pro is here.

I'm seriously thinking about getting an op7 china ap set for around 1.8-1.9k from shopee. Coming from samsung s10e with exynos chipset i knew battery life would be way, way better but how about camera quality, is it okay-ish, bearable or straight terrible? Gotta set my expectation before really click the buy button.

But we still don't know how much will it cost. Atleast with current op7 price still cheap-ish, can get china ap set with 8gb ram or local set with 6gb on shopee gor around 1.8-1.9k. Yes i know camera will be worse compared to the s10e hence why i asked how it is.
I'm avoiding the pro because the motorized front camera aren't really my liking.
Battery life. Exynos s10e got horrible battery life. I like everything else about the phone; manageable size, great performance, beautiful camera, loud dual stereo speaker, beautiful screen but the battery are making my life miserable. Its 2019 and i can't believe I'm still got the urge to check battery percentage every so often but with exynos s10e thats how it is, might die in pocket doing nothing because even the standby drain are horrible.

Wow, you really save a lot with 5 generation flagship models

Remember the time when op1 actually need invitation to buy the phone? Haha

Yeah, with OP devices, the game plan will be to wait for AP sets

XF price is ridiculously high. Read their service support isn't great too

I saw Shopee selling already.
