im rooting for this baby’s internal life usage and battery life.. since dual core sya!! ang alam mo mabili mag init yung mga ganyan.. cutting the usage and life ng phone..

since detachable naman yung
battery mas angat 2 sa IPHONE..

pero heck!!..

if ur a gadget lover why think thrice..
im planning to buy one pag formally narelease na xa sa market :))

Rodel · 15 years ago

fyi, don’t buy this.. got one just few days ago.. parati mag-hung pag your doing multi-tasking.. usually, nagiging black yung screen for a couple of seconds.. then sometimes, bagal ng response when you flick the phone..

or it’s just me – how i use it..

questionmark · 15 years ago

sayang, inantay ko na lang sana ito. di ko naman alam na ganito kabilis lalabas at the same time ganun kababa ang presyo. will enjoy my one week old Galaxy Tab. since Jan2011 naka 4 na palit na ako. stop na muna sa Tab

adam · 15 years ago

competitive na yung price nya pero mas ok if wait muna ng price ng SGS 2.

poche · 15 years ago

32-36k price nian sgs2 dito at worse of all e globe locked.

questionmark · 15 years ago

e2 nabasa ko about sgs II sa korea..

(from gsmarena)
According to the popular Korean website Danawa.com the handset (samsung galaxy s II) retails for 455,000 Korean wons sim-free, which equals â‚¬290 or $425.

chibabs · 15 years ago

Hintay na lang ng hintay ng susunod na model “with better features”, e kailan ko pa mapapalitan ang nokia 3210 ko?

poche · 15 years ago

globe exclusive ulet ang sgs2 dito sa pinas.

kung ibbase nio naman sa pricing sa ibang bansa asa 33-36k ang presyo ng sgs2.

questionmark · 15 years ago

wait nyo n lang sgs2.. mas mas maraming features, mas maramng sensors at mas efficient sa battery base sa mga nabasang kong reviews.. yun nga lang, wala pa ako nakikita na mhl link to hdmi..

arvin · 15 years ago

yap! dalawa ang up coming galaxy, the galaxy S2 and GSplus. same battery efficient because of its amoled plus screen. thanks to samsung elec.

faith @ahead · 15 years ago

can you upgrade it to gingerbread?

questionmark · 15 years ago

upgradeable sya.. soon

technobaboy · 15 years ago

considering it’s dual core and a 4-incher, mukhang pwede na ang price

name · 15 years ago

this is no where near SGS2, but it’s price is really appealing, and of course the SGS2 will come with a BIGGER pricetag. but i’d rather go HTC when it comes to Android, but why don’t HTC make a better battery life and screen? WHY?!?! Anyway, LG should really prove their self, they’ve been out of the limelight for so long now, they can’t afford to loose another year. Goodluck LG and thanks for making the landing of the first dual-core smartphone here in RP earlier than expected :)

Lan_7inches · 15 years ago

DUAL CORE = DUAL PRICE!!!

wait nyo na lng SGS2! :D

NeoJohan · 15 years ago

Wait ko na lang Galaxy Tab II

Optimus Black (as a more affordable, mid-range handset).

—–Since when did the Optimus black become a mid-range handset? =))

-same screen (type and resolution) as the 2x
-single-core 1ghz vs Tegra2 (2x)
-same RAM (512MB)
-2GB vs 8BG internal memory
-5MP AF w/ LED vs 8MP AF w/ LED

-That isn’t exactly a mid-range phone. =)

lawrence27 · 15 years ago

It is already a mid-range phone considered that it has a single core processor. My HTC desire hd was considered a high-end phone when I bought it last january but now it is just considered a Mid-range because of the dual-core phones that are coming out lately, most specially the 1.2ghz dual core ones.

Carlo Angelo · 15 years ago

And the to-be-released HTC Wildfire S has been demoted to a low-end phone? And the current LG Optimus One and HTC wildfire to what? – dumbphones/featurephones? :)

IMO, the Optimus Black is still within the high-end spectrum, price-wise, I think it’ll be playing around the 19K-22K price point. But, that’s just me. =) I’m not speaking in behalf of everyone. =)

Carlo Angelo · 15 years ago

In fact, they’re both priced the same in Germany. Both phones cost â‚¬499. (Which suggests that the Black might be in the same price point as the 2x; or maybe around 2,500PHP to 3,000PHP less than the 2X)

company ang nagddictate kung pang anong range ba yun particular model nila. kahit na ba quad core na tegra yan pag sinabi nilang midrange model yan e midrange yan.

o ayan 20k lang daw ang optimus black accdg to lgph pang midrange nga talaga yun presyo.
