Choosing A Phone - Galaxy S3 or Iphone 5?

[roninblade]

I just checked the Iphone 5's price at CMK and it costs as much as 45k!!! I don't wanna go beyond 30k. My friend bought an Iphone 5 unlocked in the US and I think it cost her only USD700. I had no idea that the price of the Iphone5 here in Manila is so high! If I decide to get an Iphone, I'd have to wait until next year when my Mom goes to the US. Ang tagal I want to viber na with my former boss (who went abroad) and our friends! They use Iphones though.

So now my choice is between the Note 2 and S3

I borrowed my friend's Note 2 and it still fits my wristlet so the size is tolerable naman pala

get the note 2.

Note 2 na. Pero hindi siya pocket friendly ah, unless you have a purse o bag na pwede mong paglagyan

Just noticed.... C4U just bought a new laptop... now planning an expensive smartphone.

BTW, we now have a POLL ... guys!

[renzo_d10]

Cash flow doing good, Cath?

The laptop purchase was long overdue and it only cost P27k. I don't really wanna buy a smartphone but I need it na e

^ And planning to buy a new car as well.

I'm not really paying for the car. I'm postponing the car purchase until I get news about the 2014 Corolla!!! Ang ganda!!!

So what's the difference between the two:

Samsung Galaxy Note2 N7100
Cash Price
PHP 28,290

Samsung Galaxy Note N7000
Cash Price
PHP 23,250

Can I just go for the cheaper model? :P Or is the 5k difference worth it?

Please recommend a place naman in Makati where I can buy this phone.

ingat lang sa gorilla glass ng samsung s3, nakabulge out of the metal casing kaya ang tendency kapag bumagsak na una yung kanto nya.. magkacrack ang screen.. unlike sa iphone na nakaenvelop sa metal case yung glass.

note 2 has a faster yet more economical processor (quad core), 24% bigger battery (3100mAh), improved screen, and better camera. the additional 5000 is worth it for a phone that you're planning to use for the next 4 to 5 years.

So I was comparing a Note and Note2 pala!

Are they coming out with a Note3 in the next month or so? Baka kasi bigla bumagsak price, I'll wait for that na lang :P

Please vote naman sa poll! But it seems like the Note2 is the most popular

note 2 for me....

If i remember correctly ung RAM lang mas malaki sa Note 2 compared sa Note. Everything else seems to be the same.

Original Note runs on Android ICS, Note 2 runs on Android Jellybean.

I won't get a data plan yet since I'm not into social networking naman (fb, twitter, instagram) so I don't need to be online all the time. I also heard a lot of problems re Globe's data plans (billing error etc)

Bigtime ka Cathy ah! Can afford sa mamahaling phone.

^I just noticed that you use a Note 2

Would you know where I could buy casings? Is the Otterbox a good casing?

Try Gizmoshield (do a search in Facebook).
If you're in the Ortigas area, try to visit this store called, Cyberlynx in St. Francis Square.

RE: Otterbox
Only use this if you think you're clumsy enough to drop your phone.
Yes, it does a good job at protecting your phone but it just looks ...er... ugly.
But that's just me.
I suggest you go for a flip case.
