In a media launch this evening, Globe Telecom formally introduced their latest product under the Globe Tattoo line-up — the Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini and the much-awaited Samsung Galaxy S2.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 will be available on post-paid plans and the handset comes free with any new Globe My SuperSurf Plan 3799 starting June 27, 2011.
The press release did not indicate the prepaid kit price but we already knew that it’s Php29,990USD 511INR 43,324EUR 487CNY 3,722 according to Samsung PR before.
And with the new HSPA+ network, all postpaid and prepaid Globe SIMs will be able to experience the “up to” 10Mbps mobile internet as long as their device supports HSPA+ and they are within the area of coverage.
I suppose Samsung Philippines will also do a separate announcement an launch of the Galaxy S2 just before the June 27 release with Globe.

My Nexus One feels so small and insignificant now…
PseudoPenggy says:
Bought my Galaxy S this January, i really should have waited for this…
Zo says:
finally.
:D
technobaboy says:
just started an iphone plan with globe. tsk tsk.
aa1372 says:
sir yuga, magkano po cash-out if my supersurf 999 lang? please paki-sagot po kasi para alam ko kung magkano pa kulang ko, hehe! TIA
yogz says:
any news on what’re the price points at lower plans?
crisbertc says:
excited…
Mat says:
Wow. I should’ve waited for this instead of getting that White Iphone.
Erin says:
This jived with what the crew in Megamall’s Samsung store told me. They said that their target for the S2 release is on the last week of June.
Oni says:
may updated price n b nito sa greenhills
Lrae says:
waaaaa sakit sa bulsa nung plan pag kimunpara mo sa 29990 price point tagal ko pa naman inantay to huhu
Tonino says:
Im a new subscriber of Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini 4g. any here also a subscriber? R you satisfied with the service of Globe regarding this?
friend.com.ph says:
which is much better…galaxy s II or lg optimus 2x?
jayarlou says:
paano ba ang plan ng Globe sa 3799?
monthly ito right?
and this is or 12 months, somabas na 45588.
ang laki kumpara sa 29,990.
or my mistake, yung 3799 na plan ng Globe na monthly, hagang sa ma reach ang SRP ng Samsung Galaxy s2?
plss pa explain po, sa mga nakakaalam. TIA.
im panning to buy this I9100 S2. buti na lang hndi pako bumili ng I900 kanina, hehe
Zo says:
im betting my money that the price points for the lower plans will be close to that of the prices of globe’s iphone 4 plans. since both phones are free with the 3799 plan, i’ve got this feeling their prices won’t differ too much…
supertoblerone says:
As far as I know mas mahal ngayon ito kesa sa iPhone 4.
razorous says:
Di kaya naman idisable ng globe yung tethering nyan?
Elodie Jane Amora says:
Thanks for the info! :D
kevin says:
yummy!
Willy says:
Timing is essential…some would be buyers of GS2 bought Optimus 2X. Samsung should have at least made an anouncement of the release date when LG launched Optimus 2X. I wouln’t buy another 2core running on android, the battery life is frustrating.
Rodel says:
im glued with LG2x though I was a potential buyer of this one, but then again Willy is right, battery life sucks, big time! :)
anyway, at least i have one of the latest dual core thing.. so iwas nalang ako sa ingit!
bongskie says:
Any info kung ilang months naka lock sa globe?
[email protected] says:
the postpaid 3000+ plan a month is just RIDICULOUS! Who needs to keep on calling or texting when you have cheap internet anyway? Mobile internet is cheap,even free at the malls or shops with wifi. and you can still call using skype for FREE!
TAKE THAT GLOBE! NOBODY IS USING GSM CALLS ANYMORE BECAUSE WE GOT SKYPE AND WE GOT THE INTERNET AND IT IS FREE!

Guys how much ang updated price ngayon ng greenhills for the GS2? and if may available pa ba silang stocks? im from baguio kasi and i may be purchaing gs2 soon.
[email protected] says:
This is a good phone, but an overrated one. The extra features may not be needed + it is just too big for a phone yet too small for a tablet. If you have small hands or an asian around 5’7″ in height, this may be too big. The LG Optimus Black is the perfect cost effective alternative for this and it is only less than 19k pesos.
fiona says:
thank you very much for the review! it seems like a very nice phone. =)
[email protected] says:
3 phones are much better value that this
1) LG Optimus Black
2) Galaxy S
3) Galaxy Tab
All priced at below 16-19k pesos or only 60% the price of this.
I say avoid this for now. Let the SUCKERS BUY IT!
Eddie says:
I say if you have the money go for this. IMHO it’s a worthy upgrade. Try reading some reviews from different tech sites see what they say. Majority agrees that this is the best android phone to date while some proclaims this is the best smart phone.
To name a few of what you will be getting:
– better display w/ SAMOLED+ real stripe compared to pentile of its predecessor. 50% more subpixel
– playing 3D games would be buttery smooth
– No GPS issue
– 1080p video playback and recording
– 1GIG of RAM
– Dual band frequency Wi-fi a/b/g/n
– Bluetooth 3.0
…. and a lot more
it wont suck if you will choose this over those considered midrange 1ghz single cores
[email protected] says:
to those people praising this. Will an almost double the price difference of optimus black, galaxy S, or Galaxy Tab make your life much better by 2 times? Does it do double the capability of the phones listed above? no! So buying this is only for lame and stupid people who get an itch whenever there is a new gadget. Get on with it and consult a psychiatrist folks. Money is not easy to earn nowadays unless you have a small brain.
Still I will go for the any of the three.
1) Galaxy S
2) Galaxy Tab
3) Optimus Black
Eddie says:
why don’t you see a psychiatrist yourself. i think somethings wrong with your brain =)) you’re assuming too much that everyone’s mentality here is like yours, which happens to sucks. calling people stupid or suckers if they decided to buy S2 and not the ones you’re recommending. buyer’s remorse, it really fits your description. just google it =))
Wakocoke says:
best smartphone as of now! quadcore na siguro yung next upgrade ko hahaha
Paolo says:
Then don’t buy if you think its not worth it. Do you really need to drag other people with you. Who gives you the right to dictate what people should or shouldn’t buy. Pera mo? :)
[email protected] says:
I am currently using a dual-sim android froyo phone. Price spent for it only 6000 pesos. This one is 5x the price of my current phone. Can anyone explain to me if there are 80% things this phone can do that my current 6000 peso phone cannot??
ofwinsokor says:
According to a korean frend here on d process na ang samsung galaxy s3.U can buy d s2 here secondhand sya mga 17k sa peso pero ung brandnew nasa 35k peso saten
CliffRosario says:
A nice smartphone with Good reviews so far from engadget and gsmarena. Samsung is really making a strong presence in the smartphone market for the past couple of years.
Anyways, cool lang mga pare. It’s always the consumers who win in this kind of scenario. Technology can be cheaper because of the strong competition happening for market share nowadays.
As for Mike and the rest of the people, respeto na lang. If you have enough dough to buy one then good for you. If it’s the other way around then there are a lot of good alternatives out there. Iwasan na lang nating patulan pag medyo off topic na to avoid inappropriate remarks.
We all have the choice to post smart comments right? ….
All in all. Good job Samsung for pulling this one off.
And hopefully Globe does reconsider their postpaid plan pricing matrix (this is coming from an iPhone4/3799 postpaid plan with unlisurf subscriber – although I got the phone with no cashout. Almost a good deal na rin.. it’s like paying for the phone through installment for the 1st year with consumable 3799. Tipid na rin naman dahil sa unlisurf.. Tether forever sa laptop and download sa torrent)
coollearner says:
i was waiting for this phone pero di na ko nakapaghintay… using LG 2x already and i’m enjoying it and happy… if i waited i will definitely go for this… for me for those who can afford and will buy this i think you’ll enjoy it as well…i think happiness sa phone depends on the user and it’s usage…happy for those who are happy phones like this…happy also for those who are happy and contented with old phones…for those who are not contented pls respect others
jac says:
Thanks for the info Yuga. I’m just a bit confused at the pricing of the sgs2 because my sgs1 at launch which had an srp of 30k was available for 16k at plan 999. At that price it should be free at plan 2.5k which incidentally is the price point of my arc in smart. while the sgs2 is a much better phone, the point is that it was at nearly the same price point then. I hope the price is adjusted before the official offer.
karl says:
.the 29990php price tag is for the 16gb or 32gb version? tnx in advance.
