“The response we have seen for the Galaxy Note7 since our announcement of its launch has been overwhelming.

We want to thank consumers for their strong support, and we hope that with the Galaxy Note7, they will enjoy and achieve more than what they thought possible on a smartphone,” said Eugene Goh, Vice President, IT & Mobile, Samsung Electronics Singapore.

Excited Samsung customers waiting in anticipation to collect their Galaxy Note7 at the Samsung Experience Store at Westgate
Here are some remarks made by customers in line at the various collection locations:
· M1 at Paragon
o “I always preferred to use Samsung out of all the Android devices. I find that it offers more flexibility as compared to Apple. And it’s a lot more sturdy and long-lasting too. I was previously using the Note 4 and now the Note7. I am quite excited to try out the S Pen’s features and test its water-resistance!” – Chong Quet Leung, 27, Financial Planner
· Singtel at Comcentre
o “I have always been a Note fan – I started out with the GALAXY Note 1 all the way to Note 5, and of course the Note7 is a must. The added bonus with the Note7 this time round is the new S Pen and how the overall design of the phone looks so much more unique.” – Ng Hong Poh, 47, Petrochemical Executive
· StarHub at Tampines Mall
o “I was an iPhone user, but my daughter convinced me to switch to Samsung. I am most impressed by how functional the phones are, especially when it comes to allowing me to work on the go. I’ve been using Samsung phones for three years now and have never looked back!” – Salmah Samion, 53, works in the training and education industry
o “I’ve been a Samsung user for a long time, and have used the Samsung GALAXY Note 2, Note 3 and Note 4. I am here with my mum today, a fellow Samsung fan, and am really excited about experiencing the new Galaxy Note7.” – Annie Soh, 32 (This photo of her mother, Yeo Poh Tian, 55, was taken with Annie’s new phone right after she got it!)
· Samsung Experience Store at VivoCity
o “I think the iris scanning function is pretty cool and it’s less of a hassle than to unlock your phone with the fingerprint scanner. The water and dust resistance is also a handy feature.” – Tzu Cheong, 19, Student
· Samsung Experience Store at Westgate
o “I really wanted to get the Note7 because I’ve always been a Note user – since the Note 2 – and this one looks really sleek with a great camera. I’m also quite excited about the complimentary Lens Kit.” – Phoebe Koh, 40, Manager
o “I’m getting one for my dad and one for myself! Always been an iPhone user but finally decided that Samsung better supports my needs, in terms of music. I listen to a lot of music so the expandable storage is very useful. I think as a whole, the Note7 is amazing.” – Lin Wenxuan, 23, Student (This photo is of him posing with his newly-bought Galaxy Note7 and Gear VR.)
· Galaxy Studio at Civic Plaza, Ngee Ann City
o “I’ve always been a Samsung user and was previously using the GALAXY S5 and GALAXY Note 2. I was really excited that the Note7 is water resistant which comes in handy for me since I’m studying logistics and my line of work requires me to be in contact with water quite a bit. I’m definitely also getting Samsung Concierge so I will be able to enjoy the benefits of on-site repairs and even change my phone next year!” – Diemas Irawan, 25, Student
