There were several iterations of the popular Samsung Star touchscreen phone that were introduced in the Philippines. The recent version, the Samsung S5233T, doesn't have 3G nor WiFi included but features an Analog TV tuner. It's possible Samsung was looking at how much traction it could get from that market. Nevertheless, the introduction of a TV function in a phone by a large brand like Samsung could pave the way for more handsets with similar offerings in the future. The Samsung S5233T should be priced within the range of the earlier Samsung Star phones. Samsung is planning to add support for AirDrop-style file sharing on its Galaxy devices, starting with the Samsung Galaxy S26 series. Samsung confirmed that the rollout will begin with the Galaxy S26 lineup and expand to other Galaxy smartphones through future software updates. The much awaited Omnia i900 from Samsung (see specs here) was released in the Philippines yesterday.
