Smart and LG today launched the Google Nexus 5 here at the Jump Center in MegaMall. The handset will be exclusive to Smart until the foreseeable future, according to reps from LG.

Smart is offering the Nexus 5 on Unlidata Plan 1500. It comes with 60 minutes of calls and 120 text messages free with a 30-month lock-in period. They’ve also shared that the prepaid kit price of the unit is Php22,495 for the 16GB model (no 32GB).

  1. $350 for unlocked or Php 23,000 locked to Smart? LOL


    • if you are referring sa google store price, subsidized kasi ‘yun kaya ganun kababa..


    • Sa US lang yang $350, the rest of the world usually nasa 20K (in PHP) mark.

      Just check Google Play Canada and UK.

      Research research din pag may time.


    • nyahaha cge ibili mo yang $350 mo, search search ka muna brod ng SRP ha. iba ang price sa US market.


    • @Mark
      Ang yabang mo naman. Masama mag post ng comment?

      Each one has his own opinion. Also, I dont need to buy one since I’m already using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

      Im just saying a $350 USD product shouldnt cost 23k (prepaid, malamang locked pa sa Smart).

      Ang point ng Google is to bring down the cost of the unit. Hindi dapat kasing taas ng price ng LG G2. Eh mayroon shops nag bebenta 21-23k na LG G2.

      Hindi naging worth it ang Nexus 5 kung same price with LG G2 lang.


    • Ikaw nakakatawa sa comment mo.


    • There has never been a “locked” Nexus Phone.
      All of them are unlocked out of the box no matter what carrier.


    • cge pnta kau US bili 350 USD na NEXUS 5 tpos blik kau ditu PH. :)


  2. 1500 para sa LTE kuno na network… di bale na lang,,,


  3. Sure po ba na smart locked mga units na to sir abe?


    • AFAIK unlocked dapat yan kasi yan ang isang kondisyon ng Google, dapat hindi tied-up sa isang carrier ang mga Nexus devices…


    • Unlocked po siya. Tried it with sun and globe sim.


  4. Yung “unlidata” na yan, LTE ba or 3G lang? :)


    • thats really unfortunate, i guess sa z1 nalang ako.


  5. Yung 22500 daw sa Smart, yung 495 daw para sa Yugatech HAHAHA. patong patong din :))


    • Sorry naman sir. Hindi ko rin mabura e. Pano ba burahin?


    • haha loko lang. oks lang yan :))


    • Misleading, Yugatech!
      Ang layo ng 23K sa 22,495! Hello! Misleading headline.


  6. Mali price ni Yuga. Sabi ng Smart 22,500 daw. Php495 e kickback ni Yuga. LOL!


    • Inulit mo lang sinabi ko. zzzzz.

  8. Is that 32GB for the Unlidata Plan 1500?


    • POTAENA!!! basa basa din pag may time ha, hayup!


    • Wooohhh! Droga pa!

      Puedeng basahin muna yung article bago magtatanong na nasagot na.


    • wahahahaa onga basa basa rin! jan na lahat ng details! e!


    • LG is awesome after LG G2 they have another awesome innovation, also its a good thing they tied up with smart rather than globe


  9. Baket 16gb lang? Not enough na yang storage na yan… Unlidata, is it LTE na? I heard HSDPA lang unlidata? Baket walang all-in plans… Wirdo


  10. haha pucha nag kamali.. d na madelete comment

    “LG is awesome after LG G2 they have another awesome innovation, also its a good thing they tied up with smart rather than globe”


  11. Misleading. I went to 4 Smart stores and they denied having any prepaid kits for the Nexus 5. I bought my unit from Kimstore instead.


    • Hi Orci, how was your purchase from Kimstore? Wala naman defects yung unit? Buying there for the first time kasi, just a bit worried.


  12. Hi Smart, kadugay ba niabot dinhi sa Cebu! mag 3 months na wala pa gihapon? hahay….


  13. English please, is the Smart phone locked or unlocked?

    I read the thread above but didn’t fully understand.
