samsung Galaxy Note 8.0

[yellow_pen]

Looks nice leh
But I am already holding onto a note 2 and note 10.1....

No point getting another 8.0

But I do agree the thick bezel seems to spoil the image

 

[stillgottheblues]

This uses micro-USB for charging. I may hoot this as all my devices uses the same charging ports and one of the main reason I'm holding off buying Samsung tablets.

 

[touchme]

quickly launch, using note1 (still well) and survived loon with note2 already.
Can wait to tailor my back pockets wider and deeper.

Wonder when Samsung going to release to market.

 

[Zen_mystic]

Wait for launch still need wait a while more for LTE. sian.

 

[nicepal]

I wonder will it really comes to Singapore this March.

I kind of tempted to get the Note8...

If ever it breach the s$1k mark for its 3g version here, be sure to boycott then and put ssg in check, else it will become the next Apple, and ask for more next time, with exorbitant price but with mediocre branding.

 

[kazxenon]

I don't think it will hit 1K, on average its around 700 -800 + for the 3G version so I think it may retail for 899?

If it hits 1K then its really not worth it, even with the S Pen.

 

[eyespeek]

899? it is definitely a crazy price!

 

[Randy_F'N_Orton]

Hi, Tech noob here. but why would the note 8 be at the $700-800+ range if it retails at USD400 in the US?

wouldn't that convert to be around $500-600+ range?
I've only budgeted $500 for it

Thats for the WIFI version, its 399 x 1.07 = US $426.93

426.93 convert to SGD = S$528.28 <- Favourable conversion rates

So they may push the WIFI 16gb for around 599, 3G/Cellular 16Gb version for around 750+ and 32gb 3G/Cellular for 899.

Of course these are just pure speculation on my part, please do not take it as facts

I'm waiting for it too, already set aside cash for the note 8.0 + accessories, I'm getting impatient though, they said Q2 but I may have to import mine if they don't get it in by Early May latest.

 

[touchme]

if wifi is $599, 3G will add another $300 herre at least. Expect at least $899, and as usual doubt will even sell the 32gb at all.

Month of MAY is not possible...as its for S4.
Late Mar = Galaxy Express & Note 8 (wifi - India)
Early Apr = Note 8 (wifi - US)
Early May = S4
Jun/Jul = Mega

 

[congz22]

According to Samsung Mobile Singapore's facebook page, the note 8.0 with LTE should be launching in Singapore in Q2. I feel that it would most probably be after S4, which means late may or june.
