Samsung cuts Galaxy Tab price to Php21,990

So, it looks like the tablet market is somehow normalizing with Apple slashing the price of the original iPad down to Php19,990 and now Samsung is following suit and cutting down the Galaxy Tab’s suggested retail price to Php21,990.

Yugatech 728x90 Reno7 Series

The move does not come as a surprise — first, Apple’s 1st generation iPad has definitely become a great buy to a lot of people looking to get their first tablet and at under Php20k, it scores high on the buyer’s list — Samsung needs to be competitive in their price point as well; second, Samsung will definitely be launching their next generation tablets locally — the ones with dual-core processors. That means the Galaxy Tab P1000 is nearing its EOL (end-of-life) and the inventories need to be sold off as fast as possible. Lastly, other competitors like Asus are launching their tablets as well which could disrupt the attention of a lot of new tablet buyers.

The new Php21,990 suggested retail price isn’t completely implemented yet as Samsung needs to coordinate with all retailers and partners (like Globe and Smart) to make sure the price drop won’t disappoint consumers who just bought one at a much higher price and the retailers don’t lose any profits in the process.

    Wondering if the price will drop more this December??? If it will.. will get this one. They will be releasing 8.9 and 7.7… still torn between the two… but might have limited budget….

    To people who think of buying a Tablet Buy one now Samsung Galaxy Tab offer is a Great deal in Pampanga Some store selling SGT for 20,000 with free Samsung Bluetooth headset. Still a BIG deal for buyers and for those who think waiting for Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 Good for you and keep saving money cause if you will purchase 8.9 WiFi Version this summer might be April or May i my be guessing but the price will go to 30,000 North and the 10.1 WiFi Version 35,000 North this is only my wild guess so please dont comment on this part. and getting a SGT for 20,000 with the ability to use Call Text and Surf. i wonder when will the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will release 3G+WiFi Version and How much more? 50k North? haha ill just buy one of SGT and Wait till December i think Galaxy Tab then will have a Update for 2.3 or 3.0 and if not i’m sure that 8.9 and 10.1 will be so low and i can try it too. :D waiting is not too bad.
    BTW for Those who can tell me where i can buy a Car mount that was Design by Samsung the Original one. you can see it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl2Ktb9Skac&feature=player_embedded please do reply here.

    bought my Galaxy Tab in cebu for 20,500, its worth it. XDA-devs are strongly working for the Gingerbread (2.3)(running with bugs) and Honeycomb (3.0)(booting already) ports to this tablet, so i know this tablet can be upgraded. although there will be new versions of the tab at 8.9 and 10.1 inches, they are WIFI ONLY versions. im having fun with my TAB using it also as a GPS tracker with maps downloaded via 3G. although always ensure you’ve got UNLIMITED INTERNET access with this so you can enjoy ALL FEATURES wherever you are. Smart Prepaid offers 1 Day Unli Internet at 50, 1 week at 300 and 1 month at 1200.

    the only downside to “ignorant” people looking at my Tab is, oh is that a celphone?…so you put that to your head when making calls?….jealous people…DUH Theres bluetooth headset FYI.

    Last feb pumunta ng maynila ang tita ko at ngpabili ako ng new cp, tinanung nya ako kung ano gusto ko bilhin, pinagisipan ko maigi at masakit man sa loob ko i had to let the galaxy tab go which i longed to own. Buti n lang at di ako ngpadala sa sobrang excitement ko dhl kung hindi napabili sguro ako ng galaxy tab worth 29k at pinagsisihan ko na sana ngayn.
