It's between USD 930 and 970 from Samsung Direct and US carriers, no pre orders available for any other countries yet.

Expect it to be at least 100k for Samsung Pakistan.
It seems almost same just they have added spen in it
With 6 gb ram
But battery is 3300mah which is less than s8 plus

Thanks.

The design is too boxy for my taste. Will have to see if the dual camera is worth the upgrade.

Software wise they made a few tweaks and updated the base to 7.1.1 instead of 7.0 like on the S8.

Battery is smaller, but I do hope they've optimized it well enough to last as long as an S8+ does.
Thanks.

To be honest, I'm quite a big fan of the boxy design. I'll wait till after November to decide whether I want one or not.

By then it'll have stabilised at around 70k and I'll probably ask some relatives to bring one from abroad since I don't want to get that repacked shit or get looted by buying that accidental coverage crap.
Dual camera looks promising since the upgrade to S8+ from my S7e was very underwhelming.

You are right about underwhelming camera upgrade.

By the way, do you have any idea regarding current market price of used 10/10 s8+ in warranty these days?

If you want to sell, you won't get more than 75k.

If you want to buy, you'll get it for around 80ish.

i can see some 4 5 dots at different areas of the screen and they arent on the glass protector so i guess they are under it and they are so annoying, i'll have to remove the protector to clean this now? and i dont think i can put it back afterwards then, how did they get under it anyways :/

Sorry guys, I've been away on the Northern trip, and couldn't check the thread regularly. While in Lahore, I finally managed to track the case friendly protectors for 1,100 a piece. Yes, I'm talking about glass protectors that works with a variety of cases including the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I got myself 3 just in case I need them again in the future.

I had this kind once but touch doesn't work properly

I have had absolutely no issues with it, the adhesive covers all the sides and everything is fine. You have to make sure that it's properly installed.

It's a case friendly protector, it's trimmed from the top as well as bottom.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
