Samsung Galaxy Tab WiFi to sell for Php25k

According to a reliable source close to Samsung Philippines, the company will be releasing a WiFi-only version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab in the Philippines this quarter.



That means a more affordable Galaxy Tab will be available in local stores before the end of March 2011.

The indicative price, according to our source, is within the vicinity of Php25,000. Not bad but still a bit more expensive by a couple of thousand pesos compared to the entry-level iPad WiFi.

    Even if Apple will price the 1st Gen. iPad lower than 20K, I’d still pick the Galaxy Tab. Parang imposibleng nasa 25K pa din ang price kasi ilang beses na daw nagbaba ng price yung 3G+WiFi dahil sa China Tablets. Makakapag text at tawag ka na, 2 pa ang camera! Ang ayoko lang kasi yung smallish screen, and I find it sluggish sometimes. Minsan nag hhang, kelangan mag force stop ng apps like camera, tapos nagbblink yung screen.

    Another DOA from samsung mas mura pa ipad2 24k lang san ka pa?

    ipad 2 is out.. so i thought people will line up for it…samsung put so much premium pricing on their product.. but if you think tablet technology is becoming common. apple set the standard for pricing and quality..and others should follow

    @Jhay:
    Please look up the actual definition of open-source. Because you’ll find that Windows is on the other end of the spectrum.

    Open-source doesn’t automatically mean having the most number of software available.

  9. Avatar for dan_md dan_md says:

    No thanks. Android Froyo or even gingerbread is not optimized for tablet use. It’s just an enlarged smartphone.

    I would wait for honeycomb tablets or settle for the iPad.

    IPAD2 or xoom
    any suggestion out there?

  17. Avatar for someone someone says:

    Android phones are much cheaper than iphone. Why is it the other way around for tablets (ipad cheaper than galaxy tab)?

    too late and too expensive (for an outdated os and machine). I think ill wait for the honeycomb batch of tablets.

    it’s teaming with software.”

    You mean to say teeming? not teaming?

    I am so excited to get my own tablet. As the price will be much cheaper here in the Philippines.

    You are an idiot. Clearly you have no idea what open source actually means. Worse, you don’t even have the ability to use wikipedia to look it up! You should buy an iPad, its made exactly for idiots like you.

    I’ll buy an Ipad than this one. For sure IPAD price will go down when Ipad 2 starts selling. So this Tab version won’t capture any market.

    iEDU March 2 na rin release ng iPad 2? or launching lang? remember january announcement ng first iPad pero March na sya na-releae sa US?

    In a few months, mas bababa pa ang price niyan, especially pag labas ng iPad 2.

    Pandroid Sucks! Just wait for the iPad2. It will be released on March 2(US)

    Same price as a netbook with decent specs.

    nah, better wait for Honeycomb

  37. Avatar for kenok kenok says:

    I thought they did some price cuts on the original Galaxy Tab tablet?

  38. Avatar for Happy Happy says:

    I rather buy an iPad.

  39. Avatar for wix wix says:

    If it would run on Honeycomb I’m getting one. If not, iPad Wi-Fi only is still the best choice.

  40. Avatar for Jhay Jhay says:

    Spot on fellas, the iPad, though closed-source, has a rich developer base and really entices anyone with its UI.

    Even geeks like iPad since it gets the job done right, unlike fragmented Android.

    But still, I find Honeycomb a very feasible alternative to the Springboard. The Galaxy Tab running an old (and more importantly, unoptimized) version of Android is simply a no-no.

  41. Avatar for Jun Jun says:

    yeah.. and still ipad is still cheaper..

  42. Avatar for goring goring says:

    too late for samsung…

  43. Avatar for lolipown lolipown says:

    A bit late to the party for the Wifi-only version. Samsung would’ve capitalized on the market better if they released this alongside the 3G-capable version.

  44. Avatar for Jhay Jhay says:

    This galaxy tab sucks. The UI is laggy (used it firsthand) and the price — don’t get me started on that “uncompetitive” price. I’d rather buy an ASUS notebook instead. Windows vs Android on Tablets? Puh-lease, Windows is as open-source as you can get — it’s teaming with software. Forget all that APP crap. Full-fledged software is better.

  45. Avatar for jun jun says:

    sana mas mababa pa. any news about the specs..

  46. Avatar for Malcoxx Malcoxx says:

    The pricing if more than 23k is not competitive anymore since the 3g version can be bought for 26k in some stores. Hope they change their official price.

    i’d love to have one
