So what's next? Note9
c
It packed with much similar to rumours where 4000mah battery, S-pen bluetooth enable where allow you to control slides during presentation or take picture of selfie.
How about Dex? Remember previous version it comes in dock designed where you can sync to desktop as well as charging it, but now they come out only just 1 cable, now curious, can it charge while Dex-ing?
Camera is much similar to Galaxy S9+ with dual aperture and 1.5f. Hope they can enhance the bokeh effect as fast as Huawei p20 Pro.
Update 11:38PM, crap that's all from Note 9 update, it seems like nothing much new and fancy stuff.
Update 11:53PM The price is quite tempting, RM3699 for 128GB, not only, it giving away Samsung Smart Watch - Gear Sport which worth RM1299. while storage 512GB cost about RM4599 with Gear Sport + Samsung wireless charger + Gear Sport watch strap

So should you upgrade if own Note8?
based on the forum, seems like not much "wow" after reveal Note9, overall not much upgrade from previous Note8 and some of the feature are inherit from S9+, such as dual pixel camera. Despite this Note9 integrated with "AI" like feature.
But the gift are tempting, no doubt, if you tent to upgrade from Note8, would better wait for Note 10 I guess.

Out of these 2 dealers, there are still couple out there, but below senheng is the special one, it comes with additional 2 years warranty by senheng, so total 3 years. Besides, if you apply citibank and get approval, you will get additional RM300 senheng voucher. Pretty good deal huh
