Samsung Philippines has finally set the date for the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 in the Philippines. The date — April 26, 2013, as per the exclusive invitation we just received.

The Galaxy S4 was announced back in March 14 in New York. The Philippine launch is just 6 weeks after that, a fairly quick one if we may add.

We’ve also been using the Galaxy S4 for about 2 weeks now and actually finished the review this week. We will publish it once we get more details on release and local pricing.

Samsung will be on top again im pretty sure about that :)) sabi nga nila pag iphone user ka OPPA GANNAM STYLE ka!kasi nga luxury phone daw.. pro kulang sa feature :)so it means that you will never have a great phone if you still stick on apple :D

hindi kita niloloko

sinasabi ko lang ang totoo :)

http://www.widgetcity.com.ph probably one of the best choice with lots of discounts and freebies if in Philippines, for other option Globe Telecom is one of the best alternative with very fair price of not going for a Samsung physical store , ignore Smart telecom due to over price like on their Nexus4 and iphone 5 and z10… anyway both Globe and Smart have sux service in some area and forget LTE plans for both provider you wont enjoy it in Philippines its just plain stupid and waste of money

WIll it be 40k or 29k? :c Kung 40k then I’ll wait for the HTC One nlng (sa May 13 pa sabi ng HTX rep) but if it’s 29k, then I’m sold on the s4!

Please post the confirmed pricing soon, thanks! :D

Its good start na release agad ang S4 like they said during lunching available by the end of April 2013.

Advantage din ng Samsung Care mabilis mag update ng OS compare sa other mobile companies.

anong variant ng s4 ang i lalaunch dito? yung exynos po ba o yung snapdragon

workitout · 13 years ago

LG Optimus G pRO = still no news
HTC oNE = Super Late still no news
Experia Z = sure first to be available but spec not as high as other latest smartphone
Galaxy S4 = will be available in a week, with the spec and how good samsung set the price i wonder if ever people will still get LG, HTC phones if price are all if not expensive than S4

yeah LG is great whatsoever but just like htc one it’ll probably available when a better phone is available in Philippines market just like optimus G and now optimus G pro should make a good competition with HTC one and S4 but both HTC one and Optimus G pro not available then im pretty sure samsung S4 will stay top not only in other country but in Philippines alone

Yusuf · 13 years ago

Best phone of ’13.

Gian Austria · 13 years ago

Lenovo K900 will come here earlier than your S4…and that’s the TRUE PHABLET!

mang kanor · 13 years ago

tmcr7 · 13 years ago

Let’s go Samsung! Number 1 in the Philippines!

Freeje · 13 years ago

S3 has set you free. S4 will bring Apple to the floor!

thecorrescode · 13 years ago

Correction. S3 had brought Apple to the floor.

Tae · 13 years ago

Gravity brought apple to the floor…. Ask Newton

Gravy · 13 years ago

Eve ate the apple, its now gone, period.

both s3 & apple user · 13 years ago

s3 laggy at hindi smooth gamitin

Zoo · 13 years ago

Ano pang silbe ng smartphone ‘pag hindi mo maeenjoy ang pagiging smartphone nito, yung apple limted yung customization. di tulad ng Android.

Charlie · 13 years ago

grabe naunahan pa ang htc one. Htc one ko asan ka na. wag kang papatalo sa plastic :)

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Yung utol ko sa Taiwan meron neto….ito ang ang kanyang main gripe sa HTC One

1. The Ultrapixel is a lame gimmick
2. Matagal mag charge
3. Mabilis ma drain ang batt sa Graphics intensive games

Charlie · 13 years ago

^
Thats ok, Im sold on build and design alone. Kahit anong android phone naman mabilis malowbat pag graphics intensive games. That’s what powerbank is for :)

Justin · 13 years ago

@abuzalzal: Bro, comment lang sa #3 mo. Honestly, meron bang smartphone na hindi mabilis ma-drain ang batt pag naglalaro ka ng graphics-intensive games???
