Sigh sad that there doesn't seem to be a discount for note 7 owners. Only for US.

Only can trade in if you still have a Note 7 now. Got discount meh?

Think only singtel fully waived it unlike hub need pay $100

Ya, so yearly recontract for hubber as advertised is actually a bit misleading, it's just reduced your penalty nia.

Consider good already. S8+ 1298. Note8 1398 6.3inch 6gb ram and dual cam

Actually S8+ is the one that is not good. In US the S8+ price is same as Note 7, but come here increase by $130 compared to Note 7.

So Note 8 "isn't that bad", though the increase was already pre-added.

Haiz. I am still tied to my StarHub contract during Note7 recontract.

I see. So all Singapore S8+ buyers lose additional $130 vs the US buyers. Not worth to buy S8+ in Singapore.

I also hubber, but high end phone still must pay $100 for yearly recontract right? Last year I need to pay for Note 7

oh I am not sure I hope not... I'll ask them when I get a chance and update you

Note 8 is nicer to hold in hand than S8plus...

 

[kenchi]

Telco out price already ?

Ya, think they add in fine prints now to specify is $200 off. Probably get too many complaints when hubbers were told they still need to pay $100

I ditched Starhub just a week ago to Singtel.

Being a hubber that they dont appreciate when it comes to annual recontract and more expensive Broadband and TV plan - no wonder they are losing market share!

They can kiss goodbye to my monthly $120 min bill - probably small to them but add up is a lot hohoho.

Knn...Note 8 will not work with the existing Gear VR. Have to buy a new one again. This will be the 3rd Gear VR I will have buy.

 

[Wyvern8]

Just curious. For those who recontract for their note7 last year, how do you guys plan to get Note8 this year..?

Full price of $1.4K is steep. Not sure if our Telco has any attractive plans for ex-Note7 owners. Kind of disappointed.

I feel this too. I'll probably ditch shub soon as I am paying hub club ~$150 minimum.
I dont see value in their TV offerings, fiber broadband is okay, mobile data is expensive and the rewards are not that compelling

netflix and amazon is good enough and will probably switch to my republic fiber and singtel mobile

Our local Note 8 is using which processor? Snapdragon 835 or Exynos?

Exynos.

I am getting the Singtel Circle with TV only $12 at promo for now.

With that, I can recontract every year which is around break even point.

But, since I have multiple lines, I get 30% off my mobile and that actually gives much more rewards overall.

And .. I am getting two Note 8 this time, yeay!
