what's the best place to buy (rebates and gifts-wise) - samsung online or retailers like Senq or Harvey?

Collected from Senheng. Despite some naysayers here, think they have quite a good deal.

Paid 5699 less 250 (Senheng own discount) less 400 (senheng s-coins, collected from earlier year purchases) less 600 trade-in discount) less 83 (traded in note 9, in quite bad shape lol).

Came with free gifts (a Samsung casing and a duo charging pad, claimed to be worth over rm400 *shrugs*) and an additional 1 year senheng warranty (came with some tnc,so not as straightforward as Samsung’s) oh, and the purchase qualifies for additional 2% s-coins for future purchases.

Was also told there is some further discount if pay using cc from certain banks but didn’t take this up. So all in all paid 43xx excluding the free gifts and additional 1yr warranty

Out of the box at default settings, shutter lag still apparent - not much improved over previous Samsungs. Haven’t downloaded the Camera Assistant app to try out the supposed quicker settings yet.

Oh..next time you should preorder direct from senheng shop. I have a guy there which frequently takes my orders so it’s helpful. 1 thing don’t like about senheng is every time the tnc is like very messy and unclear and needs several rounds of asking to confirm

Regarding your wireless charger try making sure your adapter is powered enough (too low spec won’t be enough to power the duo). I’m using an 65w adapter though I think 25w and above should work. Also make sure your cable also in good condition.

No, Penang. That's one problem with senheng, sometimes left hand dunno what right hand is doing.

I preordered from senheng shop. Earlier was told only online qualify for the rm250 rebate but upon checking found that physical order also can get. Though right now I'm not sure they still have stock for perordering.

No adapter and cable

The one given by senheng is "superfast wireless charger duo"

All I know is mine did deduct the rm600.. But I cannot confirm this is standard peocedure for ALL senheng branch la... Like I say they often have conflicting info. So what I always do is to press until get the clearest answer and if it sounds reasonable then go ahead and order la. For this rm600 I press on because their website actually advertise it, and the sales guy confirmed twice with me. Of course still abit worry it won't be honoured until I finally went to settle it today. That's why only post after deal done... Lol

As for the s-coin it depends on how you look at it. Mine was from last year purchase of s22u so u can say that I got additional rm500 from that purchase last year, just that u can only utilise it if you actually buy something later on

any recommedations for sms app that has delete function in the notification shade? lazy to go into the app itself to delete those marketing/otp smses.

currently using YAATA but seems lack of updates and also prefer something from safer sources. does google or samsung messages have this "delete" function?

Any app that uses Android Web view in Secure Folders will crash. This includes many banking apps, and even Google's own Gmail and Chrome. Really samsung for missing out this huge bug even after so many beta releases.

Edit: uninstall Web view updates as a temporary fix
