Don't think it'll affect the trade-in value but I gave them my box and cable. Never touched the box and cable before so just included it with the phone.

The initial price quoted for my old phone was actually comparable to what was being quoted on Carousell so I just went with them for the convenience. The trick is to not give them an excuse to mark down because of major scratches, cracks, etc.

Just installed the Ringke Tempered Glass screen protector on my S25U. So far so good (except for the 1 stupid dust particle which somehow managed to sneak in). Fingerprint unlock works flawlessly and doesn't add too much weight.

Will continue to observe and update if anything.

Bought from Lazada via Ringke overseas because at the time sold out everywhere in Malaysia. It took around 5 days to reach me so not too bad.

Agreed. Personally, I'd go for TG.

Scratches on the screen are worth a few hundred ringgit during trade-in time.

I waited around 3 weeks for my payment. However, I suspect it's because of how efficient or disciplined the collection agent/branch is. Once I contacted them to say that I haven't received my payment yet, they straight away transferred on the same day.

So I'd recommend following up with them a week after drop-off to speed up the payment.

Magsafe problem maybe? I'm using a non-magsafe case and so far no issues.

Something different from your standard cases:

A case with 3 customisable buttons. I generally don't spend much on cases but this has me seriously tempted.

Wife's Z Flip4 seems to think that I have too much money and started to have problems lately. Am looking at the S25+ and looking at Shopee, RM3,500 seems to be the going price for the 512GB model.

Wondering if anyone else has seen anything cheaper before I pull the trigger? Thanks.

Best I've seen is around RM3,000 to RM3,100 on Shopee during 6.6 / 7.7 periods.

Yup, saw that last week. The cheapest I've seen for the S25 512GB. All depends on the voucher that is offered at the time as I stumbled upon it by luck.

Didn't buy though as I managed to convince my wife to wait for the S26.

Don't think so. S25+ 512 GB can be purchased around RM3.2K during the 11.11 sales. Can't remember for Ultra, but it was definitely more than the S25+.
