Samsung Galaxy Tab Price: Php34,990

It’s already confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be launched in the Philippines before end of October (that’s next week!) and we finally got the retail price down to the dot — Php34,990 (thanks to our source).

The price isn’t surprising (though I thought it would be a bit higher by a couple grand) considering its baby brother, the Galaxy S, sells for Php32,000.

Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 specs:
7-inch TFT LCD @ 1024×600 pixel resolution
Cortex A8 1.0GHz w/ PowerVR SGX540
512 MB RAM
16GB and 32GB internal memory
up to 32GB via microSD
3MP AF camera with LED Flash
1.3MP front camera for video calls
Adobe Flash 10.1 player support
3G (HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps)
WiFi 802.11n
Bluetooth 3.0
Gyroscope sensor
Geo-Magnetic sensor
Accelerometer
Light sensor
Android OS 2.2 Froyo
Li-Ion 4,000mAh battery
Philippine Price: Php34,990

The Android tablet will be sold unlocked so you should be able to use a regular SIM from Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular. Just take note of the APN settings for each of the three.

More “in the flesh” photos and first impressions of the Galaxy Tab here.

So, anybody got spare change for a Galaxy Tab? Who’s buying?

    I can’t believe that people, who I assume have been reading Yuga’s blog for a long time now, can still make lame posts about price points. First, one compares how some products can be bought cheaper in other countries. Now some people have find it convenient that the one they own (or most likely salivate) have a bigger screen. I’m pretty sure the Galaxy Tab will find its own market despite comments by fantards and CEOs out there. This Christmas will be an exciting place to watch from the sidelines.

    34990 for 32gb or 16gb? considering how much the iPad Wifi+3G go for these days.. you decide

    btw.. iPad’s battery is something to consider too, normal usage-approx 2 days.

    “The 7-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad,” Mr. Jobs said. Lest there be any doubts about his confidence, he added: “The current crop of 7-inch tablets will be D.O.A.: dead on arrival.”

    DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA…

    good specs on the Samsung tablet.

    which reminds me, why isnt iPad shown in the Apple PH stores? and how much is iPad being officially sold?

    at least we’ve got some idea that the iPad is doing well in the market after that latest Apple earnings release. time will tell if Samsung or RIM will surpass the iPad sales.

    Seems that it’s slow and not as responsive as the iPad.
    Also, it’s more costly than the iPad considering the Galaxy Tab has a smaller screen.”

    The IPhone 4 is more expensive than the IPad, even though the IPhone’s screen is a lot smaller than the IPad. Maybe because the IPhone 4 has Phone/3G functionality? What do you think? Galaxy Tab has Phone/3G functionality.

    Moreover, unlike the IPad, the Galaxy Tab has Flash support on its browser which the IPad doesn’t have. If you don’t know what flash support can do for your web browsing, maybe you don’t need Flash. So, go for the IPad because of its larger screen.
