Samsung Galaxy S2 Released in South Korea, Available in 120 Countries from Early May

Remember Samsung Galaxy S2? It’s the younger sibling yet slimmer and faster than the original Galaxy S smart phone we’ve first seen at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona back in February.

Claimed for the record as the slimmest smart phone, Samsung Galaxy S2 (or S II) made its way to hitting stores (mobile carriers to be exact) in South Korea today. And the Korean company says the Gingerbread device will also be available in 120 countries from early May. Fair enough, mind you. And since the Philippines is just within the same Asian territory, and given the strong penetration of Samsung handsets in the country – expect to see Sammy’s 2011 flagship phone on local shelves next month.



Samsung, being the second-largest mobile phone maker in the world, aims to sell at least 10 million units of Galaxy S2 after its release today. And because of the tight competition, the S2 will cost 847,000 won ($786) through SK's domestic mobile operators. The official price is 100,000 won less as compared to its predecessor’s original price last year.



Here in the Philippines, the Samsung Galaxy S was originally priced at Php 32,995 through Globe Telecom prepaid offering. If Samsung offers the Galaxy S2 here in the country with almost the same price cut with that in SK, then we can expect Galaxy S2 to be priced between Php 28 and 29K. That’s Php 4K less compared to the original price of Galaxy S based on current ex-rate.



Anyway, just stay tuned here as we’ll keep you posted once we got the official word from some of Sammy's friends here in the country regarding the Philippine launch of this yet another Android phone. [via]
