PHILIPPINES – Samsung Galaxy S10 is now in the Philippines, and it will cost you close to 50,000 Philippine pesos, while the cheapest model, the Galaxy S10e, will cost you almost 40,000 Philippine pesos. The latest generation in the Samsung Galaxy line made its way into the country less than a week after the worldwide launch at the Samsung Unpacked event held in San Francisco, USA.
All four variants in the Galaxy S10 line will be available in the Philippines, priced as follows:
- Samsung Galaxy S10e (white): 39,990 PHP (~769 USD)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 (white, black): 49,990 PHP (~961 USD)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (white, black, green): 55,990 PHP (~1067 USD)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus 1TB (white, black, green, ceramic black): 89,990 PHP (1,730 USD)
Samsung is bringing the limited-edition Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus with 1TB to the Philippines, priced at close to 90,000 Philippine pesos. This makes the 1TB Galaxy S10 Plus the most expensive Samsung smartphone to officially become available in the Philippines, beating even the iPhone Xs Max, which has a total cost of ownership of around 79,776 PHP when it launched 4 months ago.
Interestingly, the retail price of the 1TB Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is at least 6,000 pesos lower than the total cost of ownership when purchased with telco subsidy, which we computed to be around 83,976 PHP for the entire 2-year lock-in period.
Pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S10 series began last February 22 and will last until March 3. It will officially become available in authorized retail stores and partner telcos beginning March 8.
