上周初次收到这款Samsung Star（Samsung S5233S）时，我以为LG Cookie在低价全触屏手机细分市场中找到了新的竞争对手。点击继续阅读查看我拍摄的照片。
该设备被归入 Samsung S5230 系列，其连接功能较为有限——不支持 3G、WiFi 或 GPS，但配备了一块完整的 3.0 英寸（240x400 像素）触摸屏。
它将非常实惠，目标用户是 Samsung 粉丝，希望尝试触屏手机而不愿过度花费。目前尚未获得官方定价，但预计价格将在 1 万至 1.5 万菲律宾比索之间。
I Luv it……..
just bought the star 3G (5233W) last week in SM north edsa (cellway)… got it for 13k… im quite satisfied with its features… specially with its wi-fi connectivity…
There are 2 types of Samsung 5233- 5233S and 5233W. The 5233W is wifi ready…
Exhumed, 5233 is the higher version of 5230…

It doesn’t have much in connectivity.. no usb connection for pc to phone…. bluetooth only.

wer talking hir about samsung star and im thingking to get 1, its great i already test one of those, sana may mga theme na available for this phone para mas astig,
like it, I don’t care about the wifi, cause you have to go to place with wifi just to browse,even i hate wifi. iam using edge connection with unlimited usage provider here and i can browse where ever i want, whenever i want, as long as there is mobile signal there.
Yung LG cOokie nEed pa i upgrade yung firmware eh.. dami daw BUgs like 110/2.2=49 answer dun dapAt 50.. then automatic restarting ng phone… soBRang struggle tlga!

only 200?
like what is said in the website?
are there ways to increase its message capacity?
up to 8 GB according to the user manual
ask ko lng kung ilang gig ang expandable memory nitong phone na to?tnx :)
reading some comments above seemed to imply that they don’t consider the price of the thing before giving such verdict to it.
for a price of P10,490 for a touch screen phone is already cheap. consider LG Cookie, it was tagged at P11,990 when launched. but still, it’s worth the price. saw some features of this phone from some reviews, and i think its really a competitor of the cookie right now.
even thinking of swapping my cookie to this, lol.
but LG Cookie is much slimmer and the touchscreen is pretty responsive enough, despite some downsides. still a good phone though, for the price.
My mum got this in UK today!
I think that it’s an affordable and easy to use phone.
However it only contain two themes but if you dont mind themes then this phone is for you!
Just bought this phone at a very affordable price of 9990 (for a touchscreen) with free 1GB memory card from Baguio City. Its a great phone actually.
No WiFi? I guess it doesnt matter, i still can browse the internet ANYWHERE through Smart (Wifi phone needs a Wifi Hotspot).
No 3G? Who uses 3G anyway, do you even use it everyday? I bet only 5% of Filipinos with a 3G phone use this network-expensive feature.
Bottomline: Samsung Star (S5230 Series) is a great phone. Cheap Price, touchscreen, huge screen, user-friendly, great features you want to use everyday, and most of all, its Samsung! ^^
Waiting for the Philippine release of Samsung Omnia HD though..:)
Ask ko lang po kung where po sa metro manila available yung unit na Samsung star and how much?Meron ba nito sa Sm North Edsa or Megamall?? Thanks!!
I think that is great phone with full options and a lot of solutions, plus for LG
Parang ginaya ang LG Cookie.When will Samsung be “genuine”?Remember the Omnia, like a clone of the iPhone!
I love this PHONE its worth it, I dont need wifi.whats the use of my laptop and internet connections at home. IM from Bacolod City. SAMSUNG had a big sale in all unit. so i got from 9995 + free 2gb.memorycard and with some other freebies..
No problem for now. Everything is good
Negative: No flash for the camera.
thats all.hehe well whats the use of ur Digicam..haha
Omnia still. Or an iPhone 8gb since I read that Apple brought it down to $299 while 16gb is now $399.
@John Ray – it’s segmentation. Samsung does not want this phone to cannibalize their high-end phones like the Omnia and the UltraTouch.
so you think the “no wifi” and “no 3G” explains the price point?
It’s affordable. Like it.
Touch screen and wi-fi should always go together, it plays an important part on the mobile browsing experience, so that u can browse anytime with a decent 3″ screen and navigate on them easier with touch and not scroll them using the joystick.
@sleepybear
Woah, harsh! But, well, for people who don’t need or want WiFi or 3G, they might buy this one, afterall it caters to a different market. Most people just want style and functionality while being able to send messages and take pics, that’s all.
Official price is P10,490. I was there when it was launched together with the Samsung Style shop at Eastwood last week. Was thinking of getting one (they had a P500 one-day discount that day) but backed out after seeing it lacked some good features. I’d stick with the iPhone for now.
would rather get an HTC Touch Viva but this phone can work for people who don’t need WiFi and GPS.
Hmm, a phone without wifi or even 3G is useless.
sleepybear,
seoulbox.com
not bad. of course it won’t be feature packed and all since it caters to a different market.. if you are looking for a phone with wifi, just save a little and get 5800.
The S5233 or the Samsung Star is Samsung’s most affordable full-featured Touch Screen phone to date at a retail price pegged at PHP10,490 and is avilable in Black, Soft Pink and Snow white.
No WiFi? I might not buy a phone like this. expensive ito.
Wow. Looks like a Zune/Iphone crossover. I hope it’s jam-packed with useful features.
Its looks great but take at that shape really big ha.
I heard they just came out with a WIFI capable version this season, it’s about 11k I think. Planning to get one for my self this Christmas.
