Pre-order collection queue photos and customer quotes

We’ve also appended quotes from a few of the first customers in line at the various collection locations:

 

•Singtel at Comcentre

 

        o“I've always been a Samsung fan, especially because of the expandable storage. I'm currently using a Galaxy Note 4 and when I heard that they brought back the microSD card slot on the Galaxy S7, I knew I had to get the phone.” – Bruce Wagner, 35, Regional Customer Service Manager

 

•M1 at Paragon

 

        o“My first ever smartphone was a Samsung and the brand has always served me well. I was using a Note 3 before but wanted to try a smaller screen size. I’m most excited about the return of the microSD card slot!” – Jason Gan, 28, Civil Servant

 

•StarHub at Tampines Mall

 

        o“Having pre-ordered the phone two weeks ago, I knew I had to upgrade my Galaxy S5 to the Galaxy S7 because of the water-resistance, the low-light photography function as well as the expanded storage of up to 200GB.” Low Seow Tiong, 38

 

        o“I’ve been an iPhone user for about five years now, and with the launch of the Galaxy S7, I thought I’d give Samsung a shot, especially since the Gear VR compatibility looks really cool and interesting.” Fiona Tan, 38

 

•Samsung Experience Store at VivoCity

 

        o“I started queuing at 8am. I had to get the Galaxy S7, the features and functions are so much more advanced and better than a lot of other phones. Its water-resistant feature was what made up my mind to purchase it.” – Wong Tuk Keong, 40, Self-Employed

 

        o“I always have been an iPhone user, but lately their upgrades have been similar to its previous one, and there’s not much ‘new’ or ‘wow’ in them anymore. I thought I’ll try the Galaxy S7 edge instead, and also because the size is just nice for me. I bought Samsung Concierge too as I always prefer to have insurance for my phones, and $38 for that is very good value indeed.” – Gurpreet Singh, 30, Consultant
