This phone is pretty much of a beast.

luizmaniebo · 13 years ago

36,990? the phone alone? I think It’s more practical to buy the new launched LG G2, Full HD with OIS camera highlighting its rear key for only more or less Php 30, 000 only plus free LG pocket photo that doesn’t use ink. just suggesting

ronald · 13 years ago

Got mine today from topnet in cyberzone sm megamall for P2,000 less LTE model.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

WOW! totoo ba ‘to?

Exynos version?

Akala ko ba wala nito sa Pinas?

kimchi · 13 years ago

Ay same din ang presyo nyan dito.Top of the line nga ang fone mo sa Pinas pero ung mga LTE signal ng mga telcos unreliable na iisang spot lng ang malakas ang signal hayssss.Sana ang mga telcos sa atin nationwidest coverage na malalakas ang signal(LTE).Kaya ang mga koryano dito they can have the best of both world..

Smokescreen · 13 years ago

If I remember correctly, Note 2 came out at P32,990. But this was not the LTE version. Maybe that’s where the price difference lies.

Choosyfruit · 13 years ago

Coming from note 2, is this worth buying ? Or is it better to get HTC ONE, HTC BUTTERFLY S OR the Xperia Z1 Honami? Mejo sawa na din ako sa note series (previous note 1 and note 2 user here) Thanks..

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

HTC? yesterday’s specs at today’s price? lol

Kung mapagtiyagaan mo yung display quality ng Z1, dun ka….

wew · 13 years ago

real abuzalzal: kung mapagtitiyagaan mo ang pagiging sirain ng cherry mobile at willing kang gumastos ng 12k good for few months,mag cherry mobile ka =)))

Choosyfruit · 13 years ago

Parang ang boring kasi ng ui ng xperia z1 eh. Htc one dual sim is nice though. Htc butterfly s is packed with great features din.

wew · 13 years ago

z1 is still android,meaning you can find lots of launchers in google play =)

fandroid · 13 years ago

Bakit mukhang nilalangaw yung store? atsaka yung poster parang gawa ng high school?

ronald · 13 years ago

Hoy, 3rd world ang philippines. Pumunta ka sa usa, japan etc. at puno. ang puno pag launching ay cherry, my phone, etc. Your comment shows you need to go back to high school. Ignoramus.

joshuats · 13 years ago

Ilan gb yan yung 36,990? 32gb? or 64gb? meron pa ba dito yung 64gb sa pinas?

Jake · 13 years ago

36,990 is the promo price if you buy it in cash or straight credit card. Regular price is 43,990.

BenAbuBakr · 13 years ago

Kelan po magkakaroon ng Octa Core? Naka Note 1 at Note 2 na ako. i was expecting an octacore galaxy note 3….saka ako bibili.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Sa Official List ng SAMSUNG, only the Qualcom LTE version would be available sa Pinas

PERO duda ako, since yung Octa/non LTE eh offered sa HongKong, local retailers can always go there and make angkat to cater VirraMall re-sellers

Makakarating ang Octa dito don’t worry (wink wink)

I Don’t need LTE either since lagi ako sa shop naka Wi-Fi

noteII user · 13 years ago

To be honest, iba ang note sa ordinary galaxy line ng samsung,kahit pa iyan ang top s series line nila. May mga specs at features na nasa note lang. For those using note on a day to day basis, we could always say, the note is the near ideal “all in one” for practicing professionals and businessman. Wla pa nman ganito si blackberry eh. Ang lg maglalabas p lang nman, although not sure if it would come close to the note. Sony xperia ultra is excellent, but most of us prefer note when on field work, and sony when on corporate affairs, for the killer premium looks. Its like saying, u don’t use a veyron in field work, but rather lexus lx570. Sa mga apple fans dian, don’t bother injecting ur thoughts, iphone is for toddlers and kids only. Lol.

pinoy talaga ako · 13 years ago

Ang consolacion ng early buyer ay meron agad xa bago, ang consolacion ng late buyet ay nakamura sa price drop, but a few tulog nlng may labas ulit na bgo, a little less than a year nman bago magbba ang note, unlike oder line ni sam, say s4, na a mont lng price drop na. Overpricednman tlga resellers dito sa pinas sa unang hirit.
Ganito lng nman yan eh, pag may pambili, d bilhin lahat ng gusto, kung wla pa, d mag ipon, hindi un kung ano ano puna, pintas, comment, etc,etc, kung wla pmbili, mgkasya sa meron or kaya. Style pinoy ung reklamador na kung ano ano pa sinasabi di nman pla bibili dahil wlang pambili. Kung ano ano hanap na features at specs, wla nman pambili ng top model, gusto entry at bargain andun lahat specs, eh wag ka bumili ng kahit ano ke mansion, sports car, or luxury phone kung ala ka ipambili. Tyaga ka nalng na bed spacer, sardinas ulam araw araw, nag dyi dyip, at least may iphone5 ka, upps wla ako pinatatamaan, guni guni niu lang un, lol.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Thank you for sharing with us your life experiences of owning an Ip5.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Bababa yan ng Php6k-5k after 1 month hehe

BUT any chance na lalapag ang non-LTE model sa Greenhills???

Drooling for the Exynos/Mali…Really want that one badly

abuPOTSU · 13 years ago

abuzalzal_fan · 13 years ago

wew · 13 years ago

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Teka teka, ba’t pinapangunahan ninyo ako O.o

Magkakaroon ako nito, kayo hindi, yun lang yun lmao

abuPOTSU · 13 years ago

@abuzalzal: Riiiiiiiiight…. Nagsalita yung hanggang Cherry Mobile lang ang kayang bilhin! :P

floor_rider · 13 years ago

“Haste makes waste”
Gotta wait ’til the prices go down at a more acceptable price…

theSandies · 13 years ago

di na bababa yan since its already within industry standard price globally.

bajigjig · 13 years ago

Pwede ba namang walang price drop yan? Walang gadget na hindi bumababa ang price lalo na sa bilis maglabas ng iba’t ibang model ang mga phone manufacturers ngayon.
