Yes, you're absolutely right. Modes and routines are incredibly powerful features. I use them to automate my house lighting and to manage my phone, like changing modes and controlling charging.

From my experience, I’d never recommend trading in with Samsung. They use third-party vendors, and the trade-in value is usually very low since they need to factor in their profit margins for resale. On top of that, you lose a lot due to the high depreciation value. The only exception is if the device value is lower than the bonus or voucher they’re offering—then it might be worth considering. Otherwise, you’ll likely get a better price by posting it on Lowyat’s Garage Sales page.

You can use the points to get a discount on the Samsung website, either by converting them into cash value or redeeming any available vouchers.

I wouldn’t recommend using your phone without a screen protector unless you’re always holding it carefully and making sure it doesn’t come into contact with anything like keys or coins. From my own experience, I’ve seen screens get scratched, and once that happens, the mark stays forever. If you’re curious about how scratchable it is, you can check out videos by JerryRigEverything.

Still, I strongly suggest using a tempered glass screen protector for extra protection it’s definitely worth it.

Haha, good for you! Maybe I’ve got a bit of amychophobia because even a tiny scratch will bother me every single day. I’d rather see scratches on my tempered glass and know that my actual screen is still in perfect condition.

Wait a few more months after s25u float more on market older model will drop lower

Sometimes it takes 3 days to 1 week. You will get an email with the receipt once it’s checked and completed

I want to know too. Helping my friend looks. Budget rm3.5k

you are right. I even manage to use LIDAR to map entire rooms or screenshot a 3D of areas

write notes, draw or sketch picture I always use it . But after using iPad Pro with Apple Pencil + notability app I can't go back to samsung spen and their crappy limited app function

You are right they put it in a very messy and confusion way. I usually have a habit clicking the model and select their package if any .To get that price you need press promo then only press the phone model or else it won’t show. It took me a few times to check to make sure. 256gb stock clear out within 2 hours last night

Yes some even show cheapest price click inside it’s a cheaper version model price not the one we want

Mahal boss if 4k then no brainer take. If 4.5 better go for s25u .

My lesson never take big storage like my friend 512gb masuk air even kononnya ip68 all data lost. Give samsung say cannot be Repair data gone

If you ask me that price tag can find many other brands like Oppo, vivo, realms, one plus, Xiao mi. If samsung only worthy is their flagship the rest a lot alternative

Samsung phones tend to have lower resale values compared to some competitors for several reasons:

Rapid Release Cycle: Samsung frequently releases new models, which can lead to a quick depreciation of older models. Consumers often prefer the latest versions, which diminishes demand for previous iterations.

Apple-Like Marketing Strategy – Samsung often makes minor upgrades to its phones but rebrands them as completely new models. This slows down the perception of real innovation, making older models seem outdated faster and reducing their resale value.

Competition Within Android Market – Unlike Apple, which has no direct iOS competition, Samsung faces constant pressure from other Android brands like Google, OnePlus, and Xiaomi. This competition pushes prices down and makes it harder for Samsung phones to hold their resale value.

Market Saturation: The smartphone market is saturated with Samsung devices, making it harder for individual models to retain value. The abundance of options means that older models are often seen as less desirable.

High Initial Discounts: Samsung often discounts its phones shortly after release, which can set a lower baseline for resale values. When consumers see a new phone heavily discounted, it affects their perception of its value.

Brand Perception: While Samsung is a well-known brand, some consumers perceive Apple devices as more premium, which can influence resale values. Apple's ecosystem and brand loyalty often result in better retention of value.
Software Support: Samsung's software update policy, while improving, historically has not matched Apple’s in terms of longevity and consistency. Phones that receive fewer updates may be less appealing in the resale market.

Consumer Behavior: Many Samsung users tend to upgrade frequently, leading to a larger supply of used devices in the market. This increased supply can drive down prices.

Condition and Repairability: Some Samsung models, particularly those with glass backs and intricate designs, may be more prone to damage. Devices that are harder to repair or maintain can also see lower resale values.

These factors combine to create a market environment where Samsung phones generally depreciate more quickly than some other brands.
