Captain William says:
im rooting for this baby’s internal life usage and battery life.. since dual core sya!! ang alam mo mabili mag init yung mga ganyan.. cutting the usage and life ng phone..
since detachable naman yung
battery mas angat 2 sa IPHONE..
pero heck!!..
if ur a gadget lover why think thrice..
im planning to buy one pag formally narelease na xa sa market :))
Rodel says:
fyi, don’t buy this.. got one just few days ago.. parati mag-hung pag your doing multi-tasking.. usually, nagiging black yung screen for a couple of seconds.. then sometimes, bagal ng response when you flick the phone..
or it’s just me – how i use it..
questionmark says:
better to wait LG OPTIMUS 3D.. im not interested on its 3d capability, i want its battery efficiency..

sayang, inantay ko na lang sana ito. di ko naman alam na ganito kabilis lalabas at the same time ganun kababa ang presyo. will enjoy my one week old Galaxy Tab. since Jan2011 naka 4 na palit na ako. stop na muna sa Tab
adam says:
competitive na yung price nya pero mas ok if wait muna ng price ng SGS 2.
poche says:

questionmark says:

According to the popular Korean website Danawa.com the handset (samsung galaxy s II) retails for 455,000 Korean wons sim-free, which equals €290 or $425.

chibabs says:
Hintay na lang ng hintay ng susunod na model “with better features”, e kailan ko pa mapapalitan ang nokia 3210 ko?
poche says:
globe exclusive ulet ang sgs2 dito sa pinas.
kung ibbase nio naman sa pricing sa ibang bansa asa 33-36k ang presyo ng sgs2.
questionmark says:
wait nyo n lang sgs2.. mas mas maraming features, mas maramng sensors at mas efficient sa battery base sa mga nabasang kong reviews.. yun nga lang, wala pa ako nakikita na mhl link to hdmi..
arvin says:
yap! dalawa ang up coming galaxy, the galaxy S2 and GSplus. same battery efficient because of its amoled plus screen. thanks to samsung elec.
faith @ahead says:
can you upgrade it to gingerbread?
questionmark says:
upgradeable sya.. soon
technobaboy says:
considering it’s dual core and a 4-incher, mukhang pwede na ang price
name says:
this is no where near SGS2, but it’s price is really appealing, and of course the SGS2 will come with a BIGGER pricetag. but i’d rather go HTC when it comes to Android, but why don’t HTC make a better battery life and screen? WHY?!?! Anyway, LG should really prove their self, they’ve been out of the limelight for so long now, they can’t afford to loose another year. Goodluck LG and thanks for making the landing of the first dual-core smartphone here in RP earlier than expected :)

Optimus Black (as a more affordable, mid-range handset).
—–Since when did the Optimus black become a mid-range handset? =))
-same screen (type and resolution) as the 2x
-single-core 1ghz vs Tegra2 (2x)
-same RAM (512MB)
-2GB vs 8BG internal memory
-5MP AF w/ LED vs 8MP AF w/ LED
-That isn’t exactly a mid-range phone. =)
lawrence27 says:
It is already a mid-range phone considered that it has a single core processor. My HTC desire hd was considered a high-end phone when I bought it last january but now it is just considered a Mid-range because of the dual-core phones that are coming out lately, most specially the 1.2ghz dual core ones.
Carlo Angelo says:
And the to-be-released HTC Wildfire S has been demoted to a low-end phone? And the current LG Optimus One and HTC wildfire to what? – dumbphones/featurephones? :)
IMO, the Optimus Black is still within the high-end spectrum, price-wise, I think it’ll be playing around the 19K-22K price point. But, that’s just me. =) I’m not speaking in behalf of everyone. =)
Carlo Angelo says:
In fact, they’re both priced the same in Germany. Both phones cost €499. (Which suggests that the Black might be in the same price point as the 2x; or maybe around 2,500PHP to 3,000PHP less than the 2X)

poche says:
company ang nagddictate kung pang anong range ba yun particular model nila. kahit na ba quad core na tegra yan pag sinabi nilang midrange model yan e midrange yan.
o ayan 20k lang daw ang optimus black accdg to lgph pang midrange nga talaga yun presyo.
kill3rfill3r says:
i still have to wait for the price Samsung Galaxy S2.
Jon says:
Nice specs. Doesn’t look appealing though. Agh. The interface looks ugly as well. Sana nag stock Froyo na lang.
Speaking of, a dual-core phone only sporting Froyo? Sayang, sana Gingerbread na lang.
tan says:
it says upgradable to 2.3 kaya walng sayang dun
basilio says:
waiting for SRP of Samsung Galaxy II and see which one is worth the money
