Spotted in the one of the stores in Shopesville, GreenHills are two upcoming Android smartphones from Samsung — the Samsung i8520 (Halo) and the Galaxy 5 i5500.
The Samsung Halo i8520 is more commonly known as the Galaxy Beam comes with a built-in projector (3.7″ Super AMOLED, 720MHz processor, Android 2.1). The stores puts the estimated price at Php29,000+.
The Samsung i5500 Galaxy 5 is the cheaper model and also known as the Corby Smartphone. Also comes with Android 2.1 running on a 600MHz processor. The estimated price is Php9,000+.
Of course, these are gray market prices and could change once the handsets are officially introduced in the Philippines. I think the Samsung Galaxy S will remain as their flagship phone.

Wow. Samsung is really bringing us the cheapest great OS phones. Previously, they have brought us the cheapest yet quality windows mobile and now it’s Android. Looking forward on it.
How about the Samsung Galaxy S Pro? Any news if it will reach the Philippines?

i9000 galaxy P27xxx only and cheaper than halo?? is that right?! if so it’s a no brainer! may i know which shop in shopesville this is? thanks!
it this hits the estimated price, this is definitely the phone to buy over the nokia c5, which doesn’t even have wifi
Wiih! 9k for an Android phone! Wow dude.. I’mma buy that if they keep that price or even lower til December ;)
Whoah? 9,000 pesos for a 2.1 android phone? I’m definitely surprised! Way to go Samsung! I hope this becomes a trend on other Android phones!
Excellent news from Samsung.
I gonna wait for Samsung i5500 Galaxy 5. I want to buy it!!! :D
why does its home page same as iphone? tsktsk
Looks like Droid phones are becoming cheaper and cheaper… now they are way below the 10K threshold. But I’d still wait for a read droid phone that carry froyo or just get the new BB 9800, though this will really be expensive.

imho, the slogan would have been better if they used lemon instead of orange to take a potshot at apple. :)
This is GOOD NEWS! Another affordable Android phone! I hope Mr. Olandres estimated price of the Samsung Galaxy 5 i5500 will be right. Happy days of Apple iPhone will soon be over.
Android phones are taking over the Philippines!
Yay!!!
