Smart is offering pre-order deals for the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2 through its Smart Postpaid Plans+, starting at Php750 per month. Smart's promo includes 0% installment for up to 24 months through participating banks, plus three months of Samsung Care+ for free. Interested buyers can pre-order at any Smart store until August 13. Smart Communications has partnered with cloud gaming provider Blacknut to give Smart and TNT subscribers access to more than 1,000 games through their smartphones. Users can open the service through a mobile browser at Blacknut’s Smart page, without downloading an app or installing large game files. Smart and TNT subscribers can register using their mobile number. Smart said the service removes the need for a dedicated gaming console or high-end PC, while also reducing storage and download requirements. Smart cited Ookla data showing a median mobile latency of 45.88 milliseconds in the Philippines during the first half of 2025.
