Xiaomi Mi Max

That's not correct... Imagine you signing contract for note 7 & sell it off & use the profit to get mimax 128gb (assuming you don't have one yet). You will still have hundreds of dollars cash. Free phone + money to offset your few months of phone bill. The price difference is still there regardless of contract or non contract.

I know you have lah! I'm saying in the scenario that you don't have one to explain that the cost difference is still there no matter contract or not.

Lol.... ok.... see how it goes.... high chances just stick to mi max due to battery.... maybe sell off n4 then topup a bit to recontract.. then maybe mi max will sit inside my drawer as spare phone.. maybe........

[DRAGONGUY]

Hmmm.. if not.. just stick to mi max and cheap china phone all the way.... change my phone plan to sim only plans after contract finished.... then n4 sits in my drawer as spare phone....


Just some random thoughts....

Hmmmmmm, jialat now my heart no up and no down liaoz.. just saw info that samsung galaxy note 7 will have 4g + 3g support after new firmware...

Oh my... might ditch mi max and jump back samsung if true.... *hesitation*

But then.... batt only 3500mah for samsung lay... *arghhhhhh*

I welcome you to the world of Samsung.

Not to worry about the battery life. Newer processors are very energy efficient.

The phone supports fast wired and wireless charging.

If you are still afraid, you can get this...

Leather case with battery pack. And additional 3100mah.

You will have a total of 6600mah to use!!!

Edit- if i did not remember wrongly, the battery pack is also water resistant. Meaning can swim together...

Ya has been in samsung world for many years b4 mi max. Understand that new processor energy efficient, but samsung always like suck batt one. I know got fast charge, but sometime finding a power point at my work is not a luxury and the power source is not reliable... The battery backpack is good but very fat loh. Lol....

For me I normally go for the lower tier plans, the phone subsidy isn't that much. E.g. For S7 Edge, still pay about $698, sell off at most $800ish?

I know I wanted around 4-5GB, don't really care for talktime or SMS. Of course, this is only for my specific situation. For someone who wants sufficient talktime+SMS, will also end up looking at $40+ per month, then the contract plan looks better, cos you also benefit from a good subsidy.

Option A: 4+ 1GB / 100min / 0 SMS (circles.life)
Monthly sub: $28 x 24 = $672
Phone: $260
Cost for 2 years: $937 ($39/mth)

Option B: 3 + 2 GB / 200min / 1000 SMS (M1)
Month sub: $42 +$5.90 x 24 = $1149.60
Phone: $698 (S7 Edge)
Cost for 2 years: $1307.60 ($54.48/mth)
*Assuming resell new at most $800, then buy mi max @ $260

So, based on my own needs, going the non-contract route works out better, cos I'm not paying for the stuff I don't need in the contract plans, and the phone subsidy isn't that much for lower-tier contract plans anyway. For ppl who need all the stuff in the higher-tier plans anyway, contract really makes sense for them cos the phone subsidy is a lot more.

Actually... i dont like the idea of recontracting phone just to sell off and make profit... overall for 2 years, additional costs will overwrite your earnings...

It is adding bulk and sexyness to the phone...

Only time you have some profit is when you sell iPhone on the first day of launch...

On yah, one more reason. Under Hub Club, one of the line can recontract every year.

This round 2 lines are due for recontract, so voncher for 2 lines.
