Ya, they never called me until now. So just find any old phone and hentam (check if the IMEI works first) for the additional RM600 rebate for trade-in devices.

Can you share the procedure how you claim the trade discount?

Is it via Samsung online store during preorder period or what?

Don’t you need to install the app to test the trade in phone and get some kind of unique generated code or something?

How come you can get RM1,511.30 off?

400-handraiser voucher
650-trade in discount

from where is the remaining discount is from?

<< Edit >>

How adding Samsung Care+ resulted in discount RM461.30 instead of more to pay?

EPP for reference:

Samsung S24 Ultra (12GB/256GB) = RM6,299 - RM1,260 (EPP) - RM300 (Trade In) - RM400 (Voucher) = RM4,339

Samsung S24 Ultra (12GB/512GB} = RM6,799 - RM1,360 (EPP) - RM300 (Trade In) - RM400 (Voucher) = RM4,739

Samsung S24 Ultra (12GB/1TB) = RM7,799 - RM1,560 (EPP) - RM300 (Trade In} - RM400 (Voucher) = RM5,539

No additional voucher for accessories. But if buy 2x S24 series, the EPP is 25% instead of 20% but this doesn't look worth it.
*
EPP should be at 0%.

After buying the S24U at RM 5251.70, my Shopback only track cashback at RM 86.23. At 3.5% it was supposed to be RM 183. Anyone else have this issue?

Purchased the Ringke Fusion Matte for my phone, been using this case for my S22U and like the feel & quality.
Any recommendation for Tempered Glass screen protector that does not hinder the fingerprint sensor?
I didn't use any SP on my S22U
*
Mine tracked at RM94 flat.

Damn, I already paid 5.2K using ROI Code (400) + Trade In (650).

When I can use my EDU account pay at 4.8K, even without ROI Code.

Oooff... Like cannot focus?

Only the middle point of the lens is properly focused.

As it goes away from the middle, light badly diffracted.

It's not lens distortion. It's because the main lens has higher aperture / bigger sensor size which means you will have a shallow depth of field and a very small focus area.

This is the reason why there is a feature to auto switch to macro because the ultrawide angle lens has a smaller aperture.
It's the same for the iPhones and Pixels.

The term lens distortion is not related to the focus.

A shallow depth of field = a small area or part of the image in focus, where things away from the main subject become blurry.
All new phones have a shallow depth of field.
*
Shallow depth of field is over distance, not radial.

This is a symptom of lens array and how the light focus point on the sensor.

See the example how the word 'the' and 'will' is maintain its clarity.

Are you using the 0.6x mode and going very close to the subject?

My S21U used to be like that but S24U is vastly improved on the 1x mode.

This using x1 lens.

Checked the internet, the condition called Field Curvature.

Hardware issue, impossible can be fix via software update.

whats the most feature in s24 / s24U u guys are looking forward for ?

NGL pretty disappointed lol.

Screen still got curvature, so your screen protector need to be only in the middle/center, not edge-to-edge, meaning your fingers going to feel the screen protector edges.

Back glass too smooth, frosted, matte, but still too smooth.

Camera ISP over exposed all white points, so color clipping is noticeable on all pictures.

Silicon case is non grippy at all.

Charge using 90w usb c, not fast charging at all.

DCI colour space lower vs predecessor, colour accurate - yes, brighter screen - yes, but HDR will not so much colour popping anyway.

One UI 6.1 basically just the same experience like any Samsung device, nothing special.

Audio, not much better vs iphone.
