Wait 1 month aje after launch... drop RM1,500.00 terus.

Got my S24U 512GB in mid-February 2024 - RM5370 from official RM6799.
No freebies, but didn't matter anyway.

Ordered thru Mobile Gadgets Shopee.

Dispatching today with GDEx.

It is listed as pre-order, so could just be preparation.

Is mobile gadget deal better than tmt?

At the time of my order, by RM100+.

TMT displayed RRP with RM600 voucher.
MG displayes 5800+ also with RM600 voucher.

Both can have another RM120 platform voucher.

Has anyone tried going through the phone menu to see if S25U supports eSIM?

Transfering WhatsApp (Android to Android), why not just use Google Drive backup? Easiest.

WhatsApp has official methods for cross-platform restore/ transfer, too.

Google Drive backup is best if your backup data is relatively small, but not suitable when you have large data to transfer. I myself have 33GB of data to transfer and I do it manually similar to the steps below.

Also, best to turn on flight mode on your old device until the full device transfer is complete.

I tried this method it works


have you tried backup 50gb of WhatsApp that backup took me like 3 days to google drive.

It is really baffling why the need to keep so much chat history? Is it business related?

So where were your respective S25 handsets made?

Check here IMEI Checker.

Is it because the bezels are so thin to the point can see "wavy" surface towards all 4 ends of the display?

But no effect on the things displayed, though.

you can also notice the wavy display around the front camera...
This.

It's like a dimple on human cheek.

But it really has no effect on the things being displayed. It is just like the Z Folds/ Flips. When everything is dark, you can see the crease but the things being displayed are perfectly fine.

had the phone for a week d, battery life could be better, getting 6-7hours SOT. maybe first week phone still learning usage patterns. how's everyone else's experience with battery life?

Same, no difference compared to my previous 1 year old S24U.

But... it is the first week and yet to receive software updates. So, hopefully it gets better with time....

And the phone warms up easily doing simple task... but inconsistent... sometimes doing the same task and things will run cool.

Anyone has their phone warming up easily when using it only for simple tasks like browsing and watching youtube over wifi?

Mine has this issue and it is inconsistent... sometimes it can run cool over a 15-minute YT video, sometimes a few short minutes of YT video it will warm up. I tested it over the same resolution setting of 1080p and on wifi.

And battery life is only as good as my previous 1-year old S24U.. usually down to 50% (from 100%) at about 4 hours SOT.

The phone is only on the 6th day of use.

If you are using in an hot environment it will heat up. Also I noticed if in Qhd it will heat up faster.

Nope, used in fully air-conditioned room will randomly warm up, too.

Already turned off RAM Plus - no effect.

Now trying "Light" Performance profile under Device Care to see what difference.

Will revert to "Standard" Performance profile again after software update.

I am using the in-box cable from my S21 (smallest) with Ugreen 65W PD.

S25U showed Super Fast Charger 2.0 connected, too.
