Samsung s8 s8+ s9 s9+ prices

[robusto]

Does anyone know the actual prices for these phones? I can see their official list prices, but I want to know what I'll be paying after negotiations at Pantip or MBK or promo prices. For some reason it's really hard to find any kind of online price guide or even ads for online stores in Thailand, so I'll ask here instead.

You can check today's prices at NASA and AOB, these shops often have the absolute lowest prices, although there are a ton of other box shops in MBK which come close or match.

 

Just look for the crowd, and/or a shop stuffed to the brim with boxes.

 

Be sure to ask about warranty, if that's important to you.

 

Mobile phone service providers may have lower prices, but those probably involve a post-paid contract, and often a balloon pre-payment. These only make sense if the provider/package is something you'd be subscribing to anyway.

Thanks! Just what I was looking for. Seems like prices are well under my local prices, 25% VAT and additional warranty regulations probably doesn't do it any good...

Just check Lazada on line for the phone you like. You will see a variety of prices quoted usually the lowest around, delivered free to your door, cash on delivery.

I like to buy from Lazada online.  I just checked the price of the Samsung Galaxy S 9 with 64 GB is 21,890 baht in black or purple.

Probably grey-market, so no local warranty. Also could be a rework/refurb. MSRP is 27,900.

 

Most box shops also sell on Lazada.

 

BTW, I'm a huge fan of Lazada, have taken five separate shipments in the last week alone, including a Xioami Mi A1 phone.

 

The S8 is on sale, at quite heavy discounts this week. The official localized product, in major retailers like Jaymart. From 23,900 to 14,900 for the S8, from 26,900 to 17,900 for the S8+.

For me the S9 is a huge step up from the S8, although virtually every reviewer wouldn't agree with me about that.  I am hard of hearing and would never buy a phone (Samsung Galaxy S8 ) with a single bottom firing speaker with maximum volume of 66.2 dB for voice and 72.5 dB for ringing phone (as measured during review by gsmarena).  The Galaxy S9 has stereo speakers with a voice max volume of 68.5 dB and ringing phone max of 81.1 dB, and was subjectively judged to have excellent quality audio output.  

 

The Xiaomi M1 A1 tested at 74 dB for voice and 90 dB for ring at gsmarena.  But, with the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus selling for 5,690 Baht at Lazada, I would respectfully say the M1 A1 has been outdated in the midrange.

 

I have been following reviews and release announcements on mobiles for months now wanting an upgrade from my woefully outdated Huawei Y 7; and I am a fan of the Samsung S9 but didn't have the budget for it.  For me, display and sound; lightweight and small form were my most important considerations.

 

So I bought the Meizu 15 a few weeks ago, which I'm happy with.  It's not available from the Thailand stores yet.  I bought it on Aliexpress; which has the huge downside that it's the Chinese version and the seller installed Google play and multi language for me; but it doesn't support OTA upgrades.  I'm not recommending anybody buy a non international version of a Chinese phone, but I will say a few words if I may about the Meizu 15 as it is expected to arrive in Thailand when they start producing the International version, and the Thailand Official Meizu store sells on Lazada.

 

With dimensions of 143 x 72 x 7.3 mm and weight of 152 grams it is very pocket friendly.  The screen is super AMOLED and it has stereo speakers.  Meizu is the 10'th larger producer of mobiles worldwide, but it doesn't have much of a presence in Thailand.

 

I don't talk a lot on the phone so I can't really say if the quality of sound from the speakers is good or not yet; but I can say that it is loud enough for me.  Maybe after I have had the phone for a while I'll write my personal review of it and post it here.
