gonna switchover to S25U, but shall wait for the price to drop first - no rush in getting it first.

so many negative comments surrounding the S25U.. seems like the sales is not gonna fly this time.. which means more heavy discount is coming to drive more adoption..

sounds like a good idea to wait for a couple of weeks / months more now.

i wonder if i could stack the RM600 e-voucher along with this base price 🤔 + RM400 off CIMB card.

AIA members can get EPP prices from their AIA app.

Exactly mine under out for delivery since 25th Jan till now. I rather its status under preparing order or awaiting despatch than given false hope like this.

i remember the website indicated that delivery will be on the 10th onwards, its still the 3rd so i don’t think they misled anyone. probably couriers are also under strict embargo to ship out the items.

Bro, you can also use shopback to get more rebate. If you dont have shopback, then go to shopback.my and register new account. Once you done that, search for Samsung. Purchase it via shopback and you get additional rebate on top of what Samsung is providing you.

If you are new to shopback, you can use my referral code : https://app.shopback.com/OPmCJ9ciGQb
(Thank you in advance)

My final price for my S25U is around RM4k.

woah that’s awesome, thanks for sharing.

yeah i do use shopback as well, 4k is really a good steal for a flagship.

Are you sure its 6%? I order 1st day and the 1st day promo (23-Jan) for Shopback was 5%. After the 1st day, the rebate is set to 3%.

As I know, the 6% is for aircond, TV, fridge, etc.

Go in Shopback, search for Samsung and look at the rebate % base on category.
This is the current rebate at Shopback today. It maybe different on 1st Feb previously.

Edit: Looks like yours is 1.8% as per Mobile phone category. You should have went for Shopback plus, get additional RM30 bucks. 1st month is free, after that is RM4 a month. But you can cancel it after that. You also can get enjoy the perks they offer.

sadly, can’t use this for AIA’s EPP because its not tied to account but a unique account created for AIA (can’t login to your own).

seems like now those with AIA vitality can get the 512gb for RM52xx...

still got CIMB -400

48xx

use shopback maybe can get another 5-6% off (average 200-250)...

so total is 46xx

i think now Samsung Shop App reduced the first purchase to 5%...

assuming its another 5%...

can get the phone (512gb) for RM43xx only...

this is just my assumption... as i was playing around... laugh.gif

not sure if it will become 43xx or not... someone can try... laugh.gif

shopback only can withdraw after few months... so maybe need to pay 45xx-46xx first before getting the cashback...
*
curious to know how to activate shopback with AIA Vitality, from my own experience, it doesn’t seem feasible.

Those of you who are waiting for your jetblack colour might want to rethink whether to switch to other colours. Though the op didn't upload any photos of his/her phone. This is the reason I didn't go with the black frames because titanium and stainless steel/aluminium have different methods of applying colours to them
*
think this is pretty common because natural titanium is ‘silver’ - other colours are sprayed on anodized or powder coated. naturally it will fade or when scratched will reveal the original colour. even high exposure to sweat will cause the paint to discolor.

i realized samsung is not very transparent with their delivery dates- its always estimates 2-3 working days or vague answers. Apple will commit to a date and deliver by the said date.

even for omnichannel experience, Apple does it better. i can order from the website / app and collect it from the store the same day.. Samsung doesn’t allow that.

not here to bash or anything but just sharing my experience as a customer who is using both brands.

Just sharing that I finally got around to trading-in my old phone with CompAsia after finally transferring all my stuff into the S25U. I was pleasantly surprised that the whole process was quite simple and smooth. Now just waiting for money to be credited into my account.

The only thing to note was that I lost RM150+ trade-in value because the old phone had some minor scratches on the screen (phone fell face-first once and I didn't use a screen protector at the time). Let this be a lesson to all. On my end, straight away ordered a TG screen protector after I left CompAsia tongue.gif

do you need to provide them the box and cables as well? i’ve scheduled mine for a drop off some time mid March..

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.
*
ah okay, thanks for sharing. i don’t have any physical damage on my phone (well protected). using them because of convenience and the added trade in bonus haha

I check currently price is rm3,849 retail price + prepaid RM30 = RM4,569
Offer maxis price RM2,999 + plan 109 x24 +6% tax = 2,772.96. = Phone + plan  = RM5771.96

The next question how much data do you use? if like 10gb-30gb then not worth
*
also with the ongoing offers from Samsung, telco promos are really not worth it anymore

250, bought it during the 3.3 sales.

casing sampai, phone tak sampai lagi lol.

pulled triggers to get S25U good luck😂 I'm still thinking either to pull or not by trade in my S22U. Or try Xiaomi 15 Ultra

By the way which phone are you trading in??
*
the xiaomi 15 does looks really good, but OneUI7 is a winner for me. i’m trading in my current iPhone 15 Pro, long time Apple user actually.
