A key lesson I’ve learned that I would like to share is to wait at least three months after a product launch before making a purchase. By then, platforms like Shopee or Lazada often offer discounts that can bring the price down by RM500 to RM700 compared to the launch price. For even greater savings, waiting six months can yield further discounts. This has been my strategy since the Samsung S22 Ultra – avoiding the launch rush and getting better value for money

Isn't that launching freebies that can offset the high launch price?

How many of you planning to upgrade to S25? Other than the new SoC, the rest doesn't seem worth the upgrade

Some items are priced more based on perceived value than their actual worth. For example, a product from another brand might cost RM100, but Samsung might price it at RM200 because of its brand value. A good example is my Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra—it retailed for RM3,200, but I got it for RM2,200 with freebies.

Another example is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 256GB. On Shopee during sales, you can get it for as low as RM3,700, while the retail price in Samsung stores is still RM6,200. Why the big difference? It’s not that Samsung is selling at a loss—it’s about perceived value. The higher retail price makes it seem more premium, but online sales cut into that margin to attract buyers.

What I usually do is wait 2 to 3 months after the launch and then buy online. After that, I add Samsung Care, and even with that, the final price is still cheaper than the pre-order price. It’s all about being patient and smart with your timing!

AI in phones right now feels like hype and just a marketing gimmick. Even on my iPhone, the so-called “Apple intelligence” is worse than the old Siri. The AI features, like the one that’s supposed to summarize stuff, just make things worse. Same with the Samsung S24 Ultra—tried using its AI to correct some text, and honestly, it turned out worse than if I typed it myself. It’s like they’re just using AI as a selling point, but it’s not really that smart or helpful for us users.
