Big rewards for Galaxy Note8 buyers on launch day, and a chance to meet Song Ji-Hyo

Samsung Galaxy Note8 launch Malaysia

Samsung’s latest flagship phablet Galaxy Note8 is officially launching to Malaysian consumers starting 21 September 2017. After a successful pre-order stint, the ultimate productivity device is ready to do bigger things on Malaysian shores.

As you may know, pre-order buyers enjoyed massive perks worth MYR888 including a sweet MYR321 cash rebate, a Samsung Protection Plus plan (one-year screen crack warranty and one-year extended warranty), a 5,100mAh powerbank, and a free clear cover.

Those who missed the pre-orders, fret not. Samsung is throwing in some goodies as part of its big Malaysian launch.

From 21 till 24 September 2017, Samsung will hold several “Do Bigger Things with the Galaxy Note8” roadshows across the country. The roadshows will happen in three locations concurrently: Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Gurney Plaza (Penang) and AEON Tebrau City (Johor Bahru).

The queue at Pavilion will start at 11am with sales kicking off at 12PM onwards. On the other hand, the roadshows in Penang and Johor Bahru will start from 10AM onwards.

Here comes the good news. For every purchase of the Galaxy Note8 during the four-day roadshow, buyers will receive a free Samsung Gear VR worth MYR499 and free Samsung Screen Protection worth MYR149. The screen protection plan allows for a one-time cracked screen replacement (excluding service fee).
