Globe Telecom earlier reported that they will soon launch new LTE smartphones once their new network is up and running. The line-up includes handsets from ZTE, Samsung, Huawei and HTC.
All handsets will be available under a Globe Postpaid Plan starting with Plan 999.
These Globe-exclusive smartphones are Samsung Galaxy S III LTE, HTC One XL, ZTE T81, and Huawei Ascend P1 LTE, all available under the Globe suite of postpaid plans starting at Plan 999 bundled with unlimited surfing, consumable amount for calls and texts, freebies, and the Globe Guarantee of superior customer service.
The four smartphones are the Samsung Galaxy S III LTE which comes with 2GB of RAM and Exynos 4412 Quad S4 dual-core Krait, the HTC One XL (dual-core Krait), the ZTE T81 and the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE. Some of these handsets can reach up to 100Mbps under the LTE network.
Regarding Globe’s seemingly bad service, there was supposed to be this article that came out recently where information coming from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) showed that the difference between Globe and Smart’s reliability of service is not that far.
If that was true, then what is probably happening is that Smart is just playing the perception game by the one coming out with ads magnifying the competitor’s problems.
Personally, though, yeah it’s quite a chore sometimes to connect with Globe in the Metro manila area. Outside, though, it hasn’t been much of a problem.
