Just want to share i just pulled the trigger and settled on the 12

I dont think the 800 rm upgrade for a 3rd camera with lidar is worth it

Can't wait for it to arrive next week.  biggrin.gif

Any recommendations for a screen protector and case ? In dillema between the uag plasma case and civillian.
*
I'm in the same boat, not a pro mobile photographer/videographer so the 12 would suffice and the RM800 is better off paying other necessities.

Only next week? Isn't it available now?

Screen protector I can recommend is Hoda if you're willing to fork more than RM50, if not just go to any gadget stores for the cheaper alternatives.

For the case, I would recommend either UAG/RhinoShield/Mous.

Been using UAG for many years so it definitely protects but after a while, the case will disintegrate slightly.

That's why I'm using RhinoShield Mod NX and Mous Limitless 3.0 for my iPhone 12.

Doesnt the hoda screen protector have a black edge ? Is it visible when installed ?

I bought it through machines , shoppee . I just bought it so it'll arrive by next week through dhl. Im to lazy to physically buy it at a store lol.
*
I think you have to buy the clear one, I've seen phones without the black edge.

Oh, ok, that's ok I guess.

Hello all.

Today i jumped the gun, and bought ip12 128gb black.
In my area, quite a number cancelled their pre-order, so managed to snatch 1 on the spot. hehe.
*
Hmm, that's nice.

I think they cancelled because they wanted Pro/Pro Max?

And here I thought nobody wanted the 12.

maybe. no love for ip12 lol.
rm800 differences right there. can get apple watch.

the moment 13 pro out with pro-motion, most gonna butthurt lol.

ip12 is a reasonable upgrade.
*
I discussed with my gf and friends, they said 12 is good enough.

True, RM800 can be used to get AW Series 3.

QUOTE(CertifiedHomphobe @ Nov 13 2020, 02:57 PM)
Bought the uag civillian case and a Hoda Tempered glass screen protector as well as a baseus 20w charger . Thanks !

All settled then ! total damage 4383 . I think im pretty satisfied with that .

I've never been this excited for a phone before , probably because im a total apple virgin . The Samseng supremacy ends here
*
Nice..

I left Samseng in 2017 and never regretted it.

After using for 1 year, it starts to lag and freeze at some point.

I'm using flagship, not mid range ones.

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 13 2020, 05:08 PM)
Most reviewers agree the 12 is a better buy than the 12 Pro in countries where the difference in pricing is substantial - like our country biggrin.gif
I'm definitely getting the Pro Max tomorrow. On the fence about the 12 or 12 Mini at the moment. Plan to see the actual phone first before deciding.

Yep, due to currency..

Ic. For me, I'll miss split screen if I change back to iOS
It's glossy back after all.. but put a case on it should be alright and take out case when you feel 'safe'. That's what I'll do. It's a premium design phone, enjoy it
*
There's split screen for certain apps like FaceTime, Netflix for now but I don't do work tasks on my phone so split screen isn't important.

Bro where u get this case n how much. Went to ninjaz but not much choices avai for 12 mini
*
The top one is RhinoShield, got it on their website: rhinoshield.io -customized backplate of Rainbow Six: Siege collaboration that's RM179 but after discount it was RM139.

Normal non collaboration design will only be around RM129-139.

If you want plain ones, can order via their official store on Lazada/Shopee which is less than RM100.


The bottom one is Mous Limited 3.0, from forexengineer.com.my - RM179.

For such an expensive phone, I won't bet on a cheap case..

Is the mini futureproof like 12 or is it better to get 12?

Gf's hand can't really grip the 12 nicely as she's using 8 now.

Price isn't a factor here..

The mini spec is flagship spec, so i think it will definitely be future proof.

QUOTE(ahlin @ Nov 15 2020, 10:21 AM)
Everything seem fine, flagship spec, but the only concern is battery size. Screen wise is comfortable, at least for me.

QUOTE(babystark @ Nov 15 2020, 10:28 AM)
I was using iPhone 7 and am girl with small hand. Was planning to get mini but eventually go for bigger size worry of battery size of mini. The size is only slightly bigger than 7 and good thing is it is actually lightweight for my feel.

Hope this helps. But best thing of course if your gf able to feel the phone for herself first. Everyone got own preference. smile.gif
*
Ok, thanks everyone.

I also told her we can go and check the phones out at Machines and have a look and feel before deciding.

True, battery cap is an issue too..

Thanks, she compared it to her 8 and my 12, noticeable difference but I told her to check the display models then decide again because she's not in a rush to change yet.

Curious to see the charging habits of the mini owners.

Are you:
1. Using the phone until battery depleted then full charge to 100%
2. Using the phone until 20% before LPM trigger then full charge
3. Charge and top up as and when you feel like it
4. Charge to 80% (below 100%) then use then top up never let the battery die or go to 20%. Used to do this on my IP11 and my battery still condition still @100%. Not sure if can do the same on the Mini due to its small battery
*
5. I use until 40-50% then charge it until 90-100%.

I try not to charge overnight and compare it with my previous XS.

Is white good? Thinking of getting the white one too.

What colours are the rest of you getting?
*
I'm using white because the other colours do not interest me since I didn't go for Pro/Pro Max..

Plus, the white silver sides can be polished if they get scratched.

No problem as this was quite the hot topic earlier on, cause some people are obsessed with MY set and get upset when the model code shows ZP 😂
Perhaps only the display set at telcos. Cause I’ve seen one at Celcom centre that is MY set but the rest are ZPs.

To think of it, no point for Apple to provide MY set if they are not officially present here, i.e. physical store under them.
*
Mine is ZP set but Celcom didn't query or anything when I went to the Blue Cube to get the eSIM.

Shame that we still need to go to the physical store, DiGi can just email the QR code..

I chatted with the agent at Celcom Bluecube, they told me that the QR code generated is time sensitive and it will expire after a certain amount of time (not sure how long though). So to reduce the number of QR code being regenerated, they just require you to walk in, rather than they email you and QR code link expires as you did not scan it on time.
*
Ah, ok..

But it doesn't help when the Blue Cube closest to me is pretty far..

You can call DiGi CS for it but if it's your first eSIM, you have to go to their service centre or DiGi Store to do it.

Subsequent ones will be sent via email.

Easier this way than going to their shop

But I think for the first time, you need to head to their store because my mum wants to go for eSIM on her XS, they informed her to go to the store.

Ya first time need to go to their store.
I keep changing phone, so everytime I need to go to their store which is a hassle.
Now I know can call, thanks for the info

No worries, got to know from my friend..

Info like this must share, Celcom and Maxis better buck up.

They should improve their system because of the current situation.
