Galaxy S2 selling for Php38k in Greenhills

Several units of the Samsung have been spotted in a number of phone stores in Greenhills this week, ahead of the anticipated launch this month. Gray market price ranges from Php38,000USD 648INR 54,895EUR 617CNY 4,716 to Php40,000USD 682INR 57,784EUR 649CNY 4,964.

And if you look at the boxes closely, you’ll see the 1.2GHz is indicated under the label.

The Php38k asking price is a good indication that the SGS2 might be affordable enough once it’s officially released in the Philippines since most gray market units are sold at 25% mark-up. We should be seeing a Php30k to Php32k SRP this June.

Incidentally, Samsung Philippines also sent us an email today with a press release stating that the SGS2 is coming soon (it’s a no-news release, really). Fortunately though, the release confirms that what they are bringing in would be the 1.2GHz and Super AMOLED Plus variant.

We posted our review of the Galaxy S2 here.

  14. Btw, it’s “full fledged” and not “full pledged”. The only time you’re “full pledged” is if you’re trying to get into a fraternity or sorority.

  15. tama ka na…pahiya ka na eh…bayaran mo na yung 20k…hahamon hamon ka hindi mo naman pala kaya…engot..

  16. Hey Mark, it’s kind of disappointing that Kies Air is dud, not a deal breaker though obviously. First time I heard this feature doesn’t work, have you tried making it work again?

    Would you know how SGS2’s battery fares against an iPhone 4?

    Also, would you happen to have any info about the 32gb version?

  17. Hi Glenn,
    Yes, I tried kies air several times and it simply could not detect the new firmware, it gave me a message stating I had the most current firmware installed, I had to resort to using my damn pc for the regular kies app which I hate to death. Kies air did not work on both of my units, so I’m guessing this is a bug with all current sgs2’s. However, maybe the new firmware fixed it, not sure yet, I’ll try using kies air again once a new firmware is released.

    As for the battery, the first few days were terrible, compared to an iPhone that is. However, compared to other android phones, sgs1, Htc dhd, it faired I’d say around 30 percent better. After a week of usage, the battery became far far better, almost doubling my sgs1 battery life. Well I have everything turned on – multitasking, and synching tons of stuff so it would be really unfair to compare it to an iPhone. For the sake of comparison, both sgs2 and iphone4 heavy usage, id say the iphone would beat it by 20 percent, again, considering ios4 does not really allow real multitasking.
    For what it can do, I’d say the battery ain’t a problem, it can last me a whole day even under heavy usage, my atrix just lasts longer. Guess I expected too much from it, from all the reviews etc. But it’s a great phone and I bet you won’t regret the purchase. The phone is light, thin and real sexy.

  18. Mark says …

  19. Sorry, for the typos. Damn, auto correction…. My iPad hates me lol.
    Peace out

  20. Very informative Mark, thanks.

  21. what the….!!!!..i don’t wanna think about it, it just gives me headache…..;(((thanks anyway mark….

  22. yo guys.. i need enlightenment.. when it says dat globe s going 2 be its carrier, does dat mean dat i cant insert any simcard other dan globe if i buy one? ..ppuuff

  23. I’d like to discourage buyers from purchasing screen protectors for s2. S2 does not need a screen protector since it has Gorilla Glass. Screen protectors may slow down responsiveness and damage your unit. So there.

  24. away kayo nang away. basta ko, hintay ako maging available sa cmk. mura talaga sa kanila, lol.

  25. i have this galaxy s2 locked under sk telecom here in korea. is it possible to use it in Philippines? may naghahack/unlock na ba nito dyan? thanks..

  26. thanks for the reply and the link imitator101. my concern is korea is using the cdma network. even if i had manage to unlocked it from the carrier (sk telecom korea), you think the phone will work in philippine’s gsm network?

  27. Thanks man.
