Shahrul Azuri, a 32 year old businessman, drove all the way from Cheras just to get in line and get his hands on the Galaxy S8+. “I have been always been a Note user but when I heard about all the new innovations of the Galaxy S8, I thought it will be a shame not to try it out. What captured my attention is the big screen and infinity display. I enjoy gaming and watching videos as it is a great way to unwind after work so this feature would be nifty for me. Coupled with the AKG earphones, I am looking forward to an all-round immersive experience with my Galaxy S8+. I also understand that the phone is preloaded with Samsung Pay so I am keen to try it out since I haven’t been able to with my current phone.”

I am in the IT industry and I do a lot of work on my phone so what struck me the most is Samsung DeX. I appreciate the fact that I would be able to transfer my work seamlessly and able to cast what I am doing to a monitor, all the while actually working on my Galaxy S8+.”
