5G Catalyst will not be Smartphone ownership.

Smartphone drives 4G

IoT drives 5G
So, please ignore 5G for now. By the time change next phone, 5G is not even fully deployed in Malaysia yet.

Yup, couldn't agree more! It's just that if you want to get a phone with a SD865 processor now, Qualcomm is forcing you to pay for the 5G hype. I wouldn't consider trying this F2 Pro if it wasn't priced below RM2k laugh.gif

Yes, only if we can opt out the stupid 5G lol.

But F2 Pro adoption and the hype is not that, I am still waiting ROG3 announcement
*
Don't think that will be cheap given historical prices of ROG phones. It's a pity Asus didn't bring the Zenfone 6 into Malaysia, would love to try the rotating camera hmm.gif

Qualcomm always about monopoly, even though all those EURO body try to stop that. They saw opportunity, coz most other SOC manufacturer not yet reaching 5G milestone as Qualcomm.

Plus you have the trade war with Trump that now seeks to prevent Huawei from developing newer Kirin SOC and Samsung receiving so much flak for their Exynos, that emboldened them even more laugh.gif

Sad. Few years back, seeing huawei and samsung rising tying to go in SOC market, with okay performance. Mediatek sort of just not here not there.

Now 2020, with reason you mentioned above, only Apple can fight Qualcomm, but they focus own brand product only. Android, we're at mercy of Qualcomm now  sad.gif

Well, for what it's worth, the new MTK chipsets are pretty promising. Anyways, competition is good smile.gif

Personally don't think that IMX686 will be inferior to GW1 tbh, so even without OIS, pretty sure it's camera can hold well on it's own.

Planned to grab the 6/128 at 10th as well after played with official set just now, the display are better than X3 SZ even with just 60hz.
*
Where did you play with the display set bro?

Nope, buttery smooth for what i experience, refresh rate wise, frame drop felted when scroll through insta and browser but nothing deal breaking tbh. Screen are good for those who want full screen multimedia, vibrant by default.

Nice! Thanks for the feedback. Will wait for tomorrow then!

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Jun 9 2020, 12:02 PM)
1+8 Pro then 😁
*
Hahaha, don't want la, still too expensive. Wait first and see smile.gif

Same here

See you on the livestream tomorrow, hahaha..

No need to rush le

Eventually nobody buys during these periods they will be forced to bring down the RRP to 1999 eventually.

True, but it seems the pandemic hasn’t deterred people’s ability to spend on phones... I’ve been seeing flash sales on online platform for phones being snapped up really fast even during the MCO.

Also can't really trust what the fb page say, first said stock available from everyone, then say livestream at 8pm but actually starting 7.30pm

Edit: livestream still not yet start, maybe really 8pm

Same price, free fan? And only 50 units, hahahaha...

Next time then, Poco. Good nite smile.gif

Eh... I thought you confirm to buy one? Hahaha...

If one got friend in China, then yeah, buy from Xiaomi Official page on Taobao will get 8DDR5+256GB for RMB2999 which translate into less than RM2K. However since it's an amoled screen, better play it safe and ask someone to buy so can check the screen first. If sent over and got problem, how to claim warranty???
*
Bro, they said got enough stocks but only got 1000, so not my fault la, hahaha. I slept early last night biggrin.gif

I'd sell the cooler and offset price for the phone laugh.gif

SG free gift is earphones

Yeah, plan to do just that smile.gif

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Jun 10 2020, 08:44 PM)
Glad you got it... but if the cooler can sell for RM100 then just sell it.

The peltier cooler selling for under RM50 in Lazada... just not branded one only
*
I don’t think the cooler is that in demand, but yeah, will gladly let it go for a 100 bucks! Congrats too, bro!

Oh yes. Luckily haven't paid the Flash Sale order, last night.

Congrats too, bro. Hahaha, when the livestream started I thought no chance already, only 50 units. I didn’t even choose the colour, just click on the link and pressed Buy Now laugh.gif

I think this flash sale will probably be recurring on special days. Unless they can sell some volumes at 2199 then it’s possible next flash sale will be at 2099.

No, I didn't go for the livestream... it's just something I clicked on instinct this morning. I dont think the cooler would change anything. I still have all those gifts from Samsung. Quite lazy to sell them.
*
I thought they’d offer another 100 off during the livestream and imagined they’d have lots of stocks. Was surprised I managed to pull one off, hahaha...

Actually pulling it off its not an issue, the issue was trying get grey color. Grey out of stock so fast, decided not to buy.

I didn’t even choose a colour. Just hit the link and pressed Buy Now laugh.gif

QUOTE(bangolufsen @ Jun 10 2020, 09:04 PM)
Yeap, even now still can buy the RM2599 on lazada, all colors. At that price no one going to buy it.
*
Yeah... For just 300 more, I’d easily pick the OP8 over this.
