Reports are coming in that Samsung Stores in Metro Manila are also accepting reservations for the Galaxy S3. These are unlocked/openline units but will be released later than the pre-orders for Smart and Globe (which will have a week or two of lead time).
According to sales rep in Samsung Stores, there’s no advise as to the suggested retail price but they estimated that it will be around Php36k or not more than Php37k when it comes out. It’s not sure if the quoted price is for the 16GB or the 64GB model.
Our original price estimated was Php29,990 for the 16GB, Php32,990 for the 32GB and Php35,990 for the 64GB.
If the final price tag is in the Php36k for the entry-level variant, it could be a deal breaker to a lot of expecting buyers. If that’s the case, and in this price range, we might also be right with our estimated postpaid plans under Smart (which will be accepting pre-orders on May 23).

Too expensive! HTC One X’s introductory price was 34k. Now, it’s around 30k.
mx says:
you can get htc one x for as low as 25k in some stores, napaka deal breaker tlga yung price nang s3 kung ganyan ang introductory..
Marcelino says:
Yeah, we all know we’re buying those outstanding specs, but it’s too much.
I’d rather get HTC One X or Sony Xperia S. I’m also tempted with the Xperia P’s aluminum finish. DAMN, it really looks premium.
PS. iPhone 4S user here. Oo, ok yung user experience niya, pero there comes a point na parang nakakasawa nang puro grid lang nakikita ko and a stationary wallpaper. :)) :|
Hoping for improvements especially with the battery life in iOS6 a.k.a. Sundance this June :)
ty says:
kapag cash nga you can get HTC one x for 25,400 php..
is this rumors are true, some might opt in to get HTC one X
NormanG says:
sang store ba yan? I’m interested… pls. respond. tnx
ty says:
sa kimstore po…
zer0ice says:
WRONG move for Samsung if it’s coming out at 37K for the entry-level.
Definitely a deal-breaker! HTC One X can be had for 26K (a colleague of mine bought his via Kimstore)!
E di maghintay… My Galaxy S II is a great phone. I won’t be greedy this time.
Jam says:
Zer0ice is right. Definitely the most tragic move for Samsung! I would’ve believed that frustrating price range if it was toppled with the best case when it’s just the plastic that thrusts around it, not to mention hyperglaze made it beautiful to cover its inexpensiveness. Yes, everything was impressive but seriously? I think it’s way over the top. -_- They have got to be just rumors. If it’s not, then I’d rather have the iPhone 5. Lol.
Ramon says:
hopefully, “not more than Php37k” means it would be the highest price (64GB unit).
If not, then the only reason for me to get the S3 would be if it would come with the LTE dataplan
eeee says:
kapanget naman na phone tapos ang mahal!!! LOLS!!!
aaaa says:
ikaw ang panget! LOLS!
John says:
That is absurd !! I’d rather get the iPhone 4s at 32k. Well rationally, the HTC One X will do (26k).
mike says:
How will that fit in my pocket?lol

HYPERGLAZE = Marketing sh*t.
Samsung should get their designers preferably rom Motorola or Sony!
Motorola = materials, finishes
Sony = concepts, innovations
storm says:
37k for a laggy device? Outrageous.
sdfdsf says:
laggy? sigurado ka?
eh sa browser pa nga lang super smooth.
pati rin sa ui napaka smooth.

It is indeed too much if it would be 37k for the entry variant (16gb). However if it would be for the top variant, it’s a fair price. I can relate to those who are contemplating on buying the HTC One X, the price was actually competitive. One store at GH (inside stalls) quoted me with 28k, almost bought it, had I not been eying the Galaxy Note.
Advise to those who are really opting for this phone, wait for 1 to 2 months, I am sure it would depreciate at least 2-3k.
