as low as 15.3 sa grey market… pero havent seen it sa mall.

i wonder magkano mall price nito. i’m not sold on buying grey-units.

If this is true that the price of samsung galaxy s3 mini in Europe is £298.80, when converted to philippines peso is P15,829.77 …. it is still expensive…. considering the freight,,,the freight from Korea to other asian countries is cheaper, than from Korea to U.S. and EUROPE. i conclude that it will be much more cheaper in the Philippines. thanks to Samsung for making this samsung galaxy s3 mini as midrange phone. it is specially made for the middle class people to experience the S3 capabilities in a cheaper price. More power to Samsung. i hope samsung will make a galaxy note mini also..lol (ness espiritu)

nthor · 14 years ago

di dapat lumanpas sa 15k ang price nitong s3mini,,, mababa yung hardware specs nya sa android 4.1 jelly bean,,, useless din yung project butter sa multi tasling ,, kailangan idisable pa yung mga animations…1gb lang kasi ang ram.. kaya nga nilakihan ng samsung yung sa s3 i9305,, ginawang 2gb ang ram.. nakita nila na medyo bumabagal yung s3 i9300 pag multi tasking na.. walang pinagiba sa widows vista tapos naka 1gb ram langkailangan disable yung aero.. di ba po sir/mam. .. parang yung jelly bean lang pinaka main weapon nitong galaxy s3mini at yun lang ang magpapamahal dito. eh, mas magan pa yung galaxy S Advance dito.. kaya diniscontinue ng samsung yung S advance ay ilalabas nila itong s3 mini. peace

Convoluted model lineup it is, just like one commenter said. I simply cringe on the fact that Samsung’s a quantity seller now, trying to ship the most number of handsets for 4th quarter of the fiscal year. But then again, it’s “shipped”, who says it was “bought” by the end user ;-)

William C · 14 years ago

The S3 Mini is inferior to the SII in all but Jellybean…

They are riding on the S3 name and insulting the users in thinking this flagship stuff, when it is last year’s tech.

I read a post that the S3 Mini beats the Apple iPhone …3GS…

The original s3 is a device that’s flagship stuff, but the S3 mini is giving the S3 a bad name…

prince · 14 years ago

I LOVE SAMSUNG!!!!!!!!

prince · 14 years ago

People People!!!! If ayaw nyo ng phone na ito bakit di nalang kayu manahimik… Kung ayaw nyo wag nyo bilin.. Wala naman pumipilit sa inyo.

ginawa yang phone na yan dahil may mga taong hindi comportable gumamit ng malaking phone na ayaw din ng sobrang liit…

Bet ko may mga consumers yang phone yan in time.

Sa samsung madami ka options….

Hindi ka nya pipilitin bilin ang flasgship phone nya kung ayaw mo at nagtitipid ka….

Marami syang device na pwede mo pag pilian…

ung ngsabi na iphase out na si s2 well that is wrong and besides after nya ma update sa ICS may parating syang jeyybean sa novemebr…

S3 user ako pero natuwa ako na nagka anak na ang s3 ko.

Godd Job…

Samsungsucks · 14 years ago

Bobo ka ba? Kaya nga comment box kasi para makapag comment. At yun ang opinyon nila.
Ipagsigawan mo yang pagmamahal mo sa samsung. Bow.

Bon · 14 years ago

looks like an updated version of Galaxy S Duos. =)

kk · 14 years ago

tama… lols, duos nalang bilhin nyo

Paolo · 14 years ago

Hay. Samsung’s line of mobile phones are becoming as convoluted as Nokia back in the day.

Weynard · 14 years ago

Imagine owning a mini s3, s3 and galaxy note2… Hahaha.. Small, medium, large.. Lol…

Ronald · 14 years ago

Funny. And all the same color.

This mini is for those who cannot afford or do not want an iPhone 5. And just want a 4 inch screen for easy one hand navigation.

Abet · 14 years ago

IDK, one comment said Samsung is getting like Nokia! I just couldn’t agree more!

s3 galaxy · 14 years ago

sa greenhills po.. yung s3 na pebble blue.. 22,400.00 sa isang store dun.

alex · 14 years ago

Oh please, S3 cost 21k. Lol

prince · 14 years ago

s3 21k? Yup merun mga grey units ung hindi dumaan sa merkado at walang samsung warranty

so kung 21k ang s3 mini yan that is NTC units
so kung grey unit din na s3 mini papatak ng 17k maybe

ammiel · 14 years ago

pwede siguro siya maging 15k range kasi madami na nagbebenta ng 20k range ng s3 e

joem · 14 years ago

para din lang Samsung S Advance (GT-I9070) na nilagyan ng NFC

Guys, have you experiencing redirecting yugatech and pinoytechblog to pangit.net?

Marcial Bonifacio · 14 years ago

me. i noticed that it redirects me to panget.net.

nameless · 14 years ago

I just hate samsung! They have lots of models but aren’t available here in our country. Whenever i go to their store, all I could see is the same old models… What about Samsung Rugby? Samsung Xcover? There’s even more. It just sucks that they offer us few units to choose from.

Samsung sucks!

chinitoguy · 14 years ago

What I notice about Samsung that I really don’t like is how fast they phase out their phones. They offered Samsung Galaxy S in 2010 and updated the software the following year. In 2011, they launched the Galaxy SII but phased out the Galaxy S. Now they are doing the same with Galaxy SII, they are now updating the software to Android 4.0 ICS but not in Android 4.1 Jellybean. Sooner or later they will phase out the SII.

In Apple’s case, They only phased out Apple iPhone 2G and 3G only. Right now, Apple decided to update iPhone 3Gs software to iOS6 from iOS 4 and 5. The iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s are still on sale despite the iPhone 5 is already here. For me, hate to say this but the iPhone is a good investment.

Erin · 14 years ago

seems like its just riding on the “s3” name o.0

deadondelay · 14 years ago

tanga, s3 mini nga e. malamang mag ka pangalan.

chinitoguy · 14 years ago

Good strategy from Samsung… Making mid range versions of their flagship device has become a mantra.

Remember Samsung Galaxy S Advance? That’s the smaller version of the Galaxy SII of last year. My brother owns one and he’s very happy with it.

Para dun sa isang nagcocomment hindi pamalit sa Galaxy Ace 2 ang Galaxy SIII mini. Hindi mapepresyo ng 15k yan kasi sa pagkakaalam ko nasa 20k yan pagdating dito.

jong · 14 years ago

Oh God Why?

Sean Cua · 14 years ago

800Ã—400 = YUCK!

amao10 · 14 years ago

sana 15k lng price hehe… pamalit nila sa ace 2…

Marcial Bonifacio · 14 years ago

weird. before i am able to view this news, a page shows up which is panger.net..anyway, this s3 mini is something. hopefully it is going to available here in our country.
