It's not a bug. It's a product promotion. The additional discount you get from Samsung (not CompAsia) is some sort of "reward" for doing a good will to the environment. You can trade in an entirely broken/unusable phone worth RM0 which you need to surrender to CompAsia but still get the same "reward" of RM650 from Samsung.

Samsung is not related to CompAsia so whatever communication you do with the 3rd party is beyond Samsung's business.

Yess! Wise Card (debit card) = Google Pay for any Android device

Store pickup is better. I pre-ordered Flip5 and opted for store pickup. Samsung will send an SMS once the package is ready. The staff were busy since other customers were also there to pick up but that is part of the excitement.. when everyone else is eager to get their device.

DHL will send the SMS. And correct, the staff also called me that my device is ready to claim.

When you checkout the device online, it will ask you the delivery address or store pickup. You can select which SES branch to claim the device.

Take note that Samsung Online sales is not the same as physical store sales. They are 2 different entities.
Also, it was in the pre-order phase and they cannot simply replace your device with someone else's item.

Also simple..

1. No guaranteed RM650 discount for trade-in.
2. You cannot use the RM400 e-voucher (assuming you registered prior the announcement).
3. No RM500 e-voucher which you can use to buy your phone case/charger/screen protector etc.
4. No Samsung exclusive color

So why are you ordering from Sen Heng?

Instead of thinking, what you should do is login to Samsung Malaysia website yourself and try to order and see the total amount. You have seen people post how they can get a brand new S24 Ultra 512gb ~RM4,800 and you still insists SenHeng...

To answer,
1. SenHeng's trade in program is not as enticing as Samsung's. You see, I can trade in a non-working phone (RM0 value) but still get the RM650 discount.
2. No need to physically visit the store to manually key-in as we are ordering online. Less hassle instantly deduct from total amount.
3. Free galaxy buds2Pro vs RM500 e-voucher ~ the versatility of choosing what free accessories you want so Samsung Online still wins.
4. Yes to exclusive colors

Slow internet issue. Just like the Pixel, it connects to the cloud for AI editing.

It should accept imported models. Why? They even accept Google and Motorola phones which are not sold here officially.

Not a gimmick. It all depends on the use case. This is especially useful for folks who like travelling to crowded places and taking pictures. Just a tap and you can remove any nuisance.

This is a very good deal!!

Almost exactly the same dimensions.

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.

Huh? The S24 from your pic is a demo unit with no SIM card inserted so definitely no signal at all.

This is not a proof that the S24 has weak reception at all. The article is just saying that your phone is capable of transmitting/receiving signal even without SIM card. It did not state that the signal bar refers to the reception of a phone without SIM card.

You should try removing the SIM card from your current phone and see for yourself whether your phone is displaying signal bars.

Is the guy who raised this issue serious?!! Seriously, you are transitioning from 1 lens to another. These lenses are PHYSICALLY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
Think of it as your pair of EYES. Close your left eye and observe what you can see from your right eye. Now, close your right eye and open your left eye. You will notice that your eyes are seeing 2 different things. It's called PERSPECTIVE.

I find it funny that people do not understand how things work.

I can confirm this is true. I visited Samsung Avenue K last week and the staff told me they have "ready stock" of any of the S24 series if I pre-order from them and I can get right then and there. To be fair, not all colors are available but still kinda weird.
