Samsung Electronics Phils. has officially launched the Galaxy S3 in the Philippines last night. This was the chance for Samsung to finally reveal the local pricing of the handset — Php32,990USD 562INR 47,657EUR 535CNY 4,094 (16GB).
Samsung is also giving the two telcos (Globe and Smart) around one week to sell the Galaxy S3 with their postpaid plans before the handsets will be released in store shelves unlocked.
That means you’ll have to wait until June 9 before you can go and get it in stores for Php32,990USD 562INR 47,657EUR 535CNY 4,094. Otherwise, you’ll have no choice but to it get from either Smart and Globe.
We’ve already covered the Samsung Galaxy S3 to overkill levels so we’ll just share our previous stories about it here:

The SRP of the Galaxy S3 directly competes with the HTC One X so it should be interesting to see how the sales of these two units fare. We’ve seen the S2 trump the HTC Sensation before and we’re predicting the S3 will make a repeat performance this year.

aze says:
price wise mas mura pa din ang one x.
Kemuel Domanog says:
WOW, this is nice. I was expecting that its price would be like 40k+
Durubz says:
Sir Abe Congratz nanalo pala kayo ng S III kagabi. Di invited most of the buyers na katulad namin.
benj manalo says:
oks..but im good na talaga with my galaxy note…
Sam says:
I’m wondering how much pa kaya ung 32GB and 64GB versions. But still, I’d get this over the One X since SGS III has a microSD card slot and removable battery = almost unbrickable.
Ashvanale says:
This is awesome probably my second samsung phone, Nagiisip nga ako worth ba ung 1999 plan nang globe? un ang gusto ko kunin for this xD
Richard Barish says:
Believe I’ll wait awhile to purchse unit until price drops. Too pricey for me right now. In a month or two price may drop 4-5000p. I hope.
luffy says:
sayang yung HTC One X… Bakit kasi di nila nilagyan ng microSD slot……..
chuful says:
sa mga nakasubok na ng demo unit, how’s the multitasking doing? Katulad din ba ng htc one x na aggressive pagdating sa multitasking? Wait mode muna sa review nito bago bumili.
Paolo says:
Di ko trip yung design ng home button :|
antoinemack says:
So what’s the difference (besides price & memory capacity) between the 16gb, 32gb, & 64gb S3?
If any that is?
showbiz says:
Better to wait till the price drops to less than 30K.
Kirk says:
In a few years, octo-core na mga high end phones pero laggy pa rin.
Ty says:
Waiting a couple of months for this mobile’s price to drop will be worth the wait…
Paul says:
Well it seems the 32990 is a standard price for flagship phones lol
HTC OneX 32990 SRP…local shops with official warranty 28k
I guess the SIII would have the same lower price when the unlocked units arrive at the local shops.
The only time the price of this phone would drop to an official 29990 is when the Note 2 comes out taking the 32990 spot. IMO
rofelyn sanico says:
i think i like my note better… im not a fan of the s3…
chuful says:
mga magkano kaya kapag credit card gagamitin pang purchase?? may mga demo units na kaya sa mga samsung stores???
rofelyn says:
i think i like my note better… im not a fan of the s3… i didnt like the design…
itachi1 says:
naku… no more salary cap for this because of my s2 last year. di bale nakapag-port naman na ko ng ibang apps ko from s3… hehehehe…
supertoblerone says:
I went to official launching for S3 in Somerset, SIngapore. Ang haba ng pila.. first 1000 will get freebies like smart cover, stand and etc.. worth SGD240. I went late so I didnt get it. Sayang… I am using it now and so far am happy! sobrang bilis at sobrang ganda ng phone na to… :) I prefer pebble blue pero di pa sya available kasi may issue daw ang back cover ng pebble blue so its gonna be delayed for 2 weeks.. arrgg.. but am still happy with the white kasi kamatch nya ang iPad 3 ko. First time ko mag android, ang ganda pala! lol!
tc27 says:
i was thinking if i should upgrade from my s2 to this phone but when i looked on the dimensions, this phone slightly bigger and i want a phone that is more pocketable but has the same goodies as this phone. im now considering the sony nxt phones due to their size but the lack of card slot and the os is making me think back.
Clark says:
The htc one x cost about 29,000. I thought the 32GB cost 32,990 and the 16 will be same as the price of the one x (more or less) I think the price for the 16 GB is too much. But I will still buy this device.
supertoblerone says:
@roxanne, yes it is SGd240 worth of freebies yun sa first 1000 buyers. Almost SGD1000 ang price dito. parang same lang din dyan sa manila.
joseph says:
hi guys got my galaxy s3 already here in qatar for about 2 weeks now. my previous phone was samsung wave(1st one), and i was amazed with the performance i saw the performance of htc one x and the design. Some people say its cheap looking but in person i dont think it is and once you have a grab of it it feels really solid no cracking sound unlike the samsung wave steel back cover, Battery life it last for about 1 1/2 days with heavy use since at work i have wifi it is the only chance to download unlimited music and movies and movies, anyway for those who want to purchase this device you will not regret. Cheers
chuful says:
guys, available daw ang prepaid units sa globe for 29,990?
Nabasa ko kasi sa post ng isang rep sa facebook…

Aden Kaye says:
Just got my unit last June 11 from Samsung, Mall of Asia and I must say that I’ve been enjoying it a lot lately meanwhile my brother who had his birthday on the same day got the HTC one X instead.
Abs says:
Wow, it’s really exxpensive to buy them in pinas. i can get that phone fore 2750 php MAX back here.
Travis says:
I recently applied for a plan at globe and they said the handset is still on pre-order? What the heck is happening here? I thought the device is already released about 3 weeks ago??
