Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE – free on All-In Plan 2500, Unli Data 2000 (30 months)

HTC Windows Phone 8X – free on Unli Data 2000 (30 months), All In Plan 2500 (Php4,000 cash-out)

Smart has the most selection of flagship devices, at around nine (9), which includes rare handsets from Huawei and Google. They have 3 handsets that have LTE connectivity as well. Very interesting to note that their most expensive handset is the Huawei Ascend D1 which comes with an All-In Plan 3500 with Php1,500 cash-out.

III. Sun Cellular

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 – free on Plan 1799 (+ Php400/month for 24 months)

Samsung Galaxy S4 – free on Plan 1799 (+ Php400/month for 24 months)

BlackBerry Z10 3G – free on Plan 1799 (30 months)

Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra – free on Plan 999

Sun Cellular has the fewest handsets but not that far from Globe (only one handset apart). About a year or two ago, you would not find any flagship handsets in their line-up so it’s an interesting development that they’re starting to crawl up the postpaid ladder.

as of may 29,2013. yung nkita kong phone na may price update is yung ZTE T82, free at all in plan 800, then yung sony xperia V free at plan 1200. i think this are better deals than the huawei d1 at plan 1200..

Does Sun really carry the Galaxy S4? I recently checked their site but didn’t get to see the unit. Just clarifying :)

I wonder what “ABS-CBN Mobile” would offer by the time it launches its services to public. I heard they will offer postpaid services with bundled smartphones.

totally, agree. there must be some anomaly here from telco’s. i doubt Nokia has no plan to market their flagship here in PH. so it goes back sa operators the question. no 920 flagship?
