Guess he is only willing to pay us289 like the price we bought from amazon..
Hence,the reason why,i am keeping this phone

Lol don't presume what you don't know. I missed the deal and I didn't say I am only willing to pay 289 usd. I was only asking for your invoice to know if you returned the camera or not.

Have closed the deal for 5XX with someone here. He makes a small profit on the phone and I get my ideal phone. Thanks bro!

Didnt assume..maybe if you would phrase your message in another way instead of asking about the amount i paid for,then it would give a different perspective of your intentions..maybe next time offer straight..anw,enjoy the phone..

Yah saw this but think it's still a wip. I bought a full body transparent skin. Going to use it without case.

I love it as it reminds me of the power support flat bumper that I used for my iPhone 5. One of my favourite cases ever.

but without case is super slippery lol. mine will slide around on the table

The transparent skin is a bit rubbery. Like those transparent film in car where they use to hold the season parking decal on the windscreen type. So mine won't slide around lol. But I screwed up the installation. My front screen protector got 1 big speck of dust stuck.

Did your phone crack? I have a cracked piece on the top part of my phone :(

Think this phone the front screen is the weakest link. The drop test video below, the front cracked on first drop. the sides and back survived all the way.:s22:

Watching the tear down make me sad, i could hardly repair it myself when needed. Once the hardware spoil many parts need to be replaced.

Heng don't have bro. Some more face down.. But then the height was just 60cm?

my drop was around 1.6m ! my crack is actually the plastic between the screen and the titanium side, just on the right side of the area where u place your ear. Just bought a case to cover it up and no more changing of phones for me :s22:

Depends on what u need from a phone. This phone best thing is it's design. Camera not good at night. Touch sensitivity got issues at times (software issue not hardware, hope they make it better in future updates). Accessories hard to find locally. Lte signal seems stronger than my op5. GPS confirm better than op5. Got volte. Very small form factor for a 5.7" display. Best thing is it's a unique/rare phone in sg.

If you are looking for Samsung flagship type of feature packed phone, this is not for u. This is running stock Android. Compared to op5, op5 wins hands down. But I'm keeping this phone for it's rare factor.
