Since the announcement of the 32GB model of the Nexus 7, the original 16GB model was reduced to a price tag of just $199 in the US. Asus Philippines is finally set to release the 32GB in the Philippines this month, skipping the 16GB. Villman went ahead is now selling the 32GB.

We earlier reported that a confirmation from an Asus Product Manager points to November is the release date of the 32GB WiFi-only model of the Nexus 7.

The 32GB Nexus 7 is being sold by Villman at a retail price of Php13,995 which isn’t bad considering the internal storage.

We believe this is already the SRP (suggested retail price) set by Asus Philippines since the last time I talked to them, this amount was being contemplated.

Smart has also recently announced, via Twitter, that it will be offering the Nexus 7 soon and it will come with a plan. We think that model will be the 3G model of the 32GB and the plan will be included under the UnliData packages.

Guys…yung mga nasa US diyan kung gusto niyo ng walang state tax and shipping fees, wait niyo magrelease ng nexus 4 ang Macmall.com, =)

13,995 / 1.12 = 12,495. this

is how you deduct the 12% VAT. roughly it’s a fair price. ayaw mo na patubuin supplier? lol

David · 14 years ago

Well, I was trying to compare the price with the 12% VAT excluded, but I think I miscalculated. P13,995 – 12% = P12,315 (20% markup pre-tax).

You’re only only charged US state sales tax if you order something from a business that’s in your state. And some states have no sales tax, anyway. So its often not an issue for online purchases if you order from the right place.

Holy Sh…..

I just bought 16gb 2 Weeks ago, Now i want to sell it already, (if anyone intersted, hit me up) LOL

Luckily OTG is working very well with it. So 32gb is not an issue to me, but damn now it support data network connection. that’s sucks.

Tina · 14 years ago

Sa sulit.com may nagbebenta 7k lang..

chopotka · 14 years ago

@yuga

21K already included the 12% VAT, original price of Nexus 4 from Google Play Store UK is 279 pounds which is roughly 18K pesos.

Phillip · 14 years ago

marc · 14 years ago

kenchanayo@ofw · 14 years ago

I got my iPad mini here at nakakagulat na mas maganda talaga ang color saturation nito compared dito sa Nexus 7 ko,,hayssss

Jes · 14 years ago

May price drop daw ang Nexus 7 16GB? http://www.t3.com/news/google-to-pay-difference-after-nexus-7-price-drop

David · 14 years ago

The going price in the US is about $250 (~ P10,200). Even discounting the VAT (which is probably included in the P13,995), it’s about a 24% markup here.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 14 years ago

You forgot to include the State Tax which is between 6% – 12% which is added after you make the order.

cxx · 14 years ago

I confirmed that 13,995 is for cash payment only. :(

Lexty · 14 years ago

@Ernie
Nexus 4 will be available on the first week of December. Limited stocks lang daw sabi ng LG Philippines.. it will be priced @ P24,990

chopotka · 14 years ago

This is frigging overpriced! Hopefully I’ll get mine at 319 British pounds (roughly 21K if converted to peso) when my brother arrives from UK next week.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 14 years ago

@chopotka – you forgot to add the 12% VAT.

ave · 14 years ago

cindy · 14 years ago

same specs as the us model?
sa mga laptop kasi ng asus, kahit same model number, minsan ay lower specs

Ron · 14 years ago

I read somewhere Smart is going to offer Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 soon. It’s best to wait before going on with Villman.

bagongsaing · 14 years ago

it’s still 4.1 jellybean… di ba dapat 4.2 na? out of the box? hmmm.

gerard · 14 years ago

FTW

sting6ph · 14 years ago

Salamat di pa ako bumili ng Galaxy Tab 2 :)

edsar · 14 years ago

Still Overpriced buti nalang meron nang GCASH-AMEX virtual card pwede kang umorder sa google store tapos padala mo sa personalized US address and then you just need to ship it for $25 so all in all magastos ka lang ng $275 = 11,313php lol vs sa mga yan w/c is around 14k na

christian · 14 years ago

na try mo n ba gcash-amex? how was it?

Potato · 14 years ago

hassle , walang kwenta yung warranty :)

Jes · 14 years ago

Magkano ang how will it it take if there’s warranty concern naman?

Jes · 14 years ago

Magkano and how long will it it take if there’s warranty concern naman?

lu · 14 years ago

Pano po yung tax pagdaan ng customs para sa mga taong walang mapapasabayang balikbayan box o walang kilalang uuwi ng pinas para personal nyang dalhin?

r41 · 14 years ago

Paano pag defective pala nakuha mo? Tawa nalang? :))

jacob · 14 years ago

I asked the asus service center about a month ago regarding warranty coverage. They said that if the nexus 7 was bought in a country with asus global warranty, they would honor it.

Whether this holds true in actual practice is anybody’s guess.

Mr A · 14 years ago

If the shipping cost holds true, then there would be other dealers that will on a much lower cost, maybe around 12-13K. While buying directly from google may cost you less, the risk of having your unit seized by a corrupt BoC or worse, missing is worth the extra the retailers or other dealers are charging.

mcometa · 14 years ago

*sigh* no camera at the back. :(

Lito Lorenzo · 14 years ago

Kailan kaya magkaka nexus sa play store sa Pilipinas?

Ernie · 14 years ago

roiji · 14 years ago

3G model din hinihintay ko eh :D
sana mga 15,995 or below hahah *wishful thinking*

Franz · 14 years ago

Hopefully they price it under 15k and eto na xmas gift ko sa sarili ko.

Smokescreen · 14 years ago

I wonder what’s the official SRP per Asus. Villman’s is usually overpriced.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 14 years ago

I think this is SRP already since the last time I talked to Asus, this figure was the one we were talking.

Fleeb · 14 years ago

If that is the SRP then I expect to be paying the same amount for a straight CC payment. Baka biglang yan yung “discounted cash price” tapos yung “regular price” for CC transaction iba na.
