Samsung Galaxy S4 Now Available in Metro Manila

Samsung just released the Galaxy S4 International version in the Philippines.  It is quite known by now that when the Samsung Galaxy S4 was launched globally, there were two variants of CPUs that were announced that was to be used - one is the 1.6GHz Exynos 5 octa-core CPU and the other one is the 1.9GHz quad-core Snapdragon CPU.  It seems that the Philippine version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be powered by a 1.9GHz quad-core Snapdragon CPU.   The Samsung Galaxy S4 is starting at the retail value of Php 30,990. This is going to be quite a competitive price for all those wanting the best in Smartphone technology. Not even the iPhone 5 can compete at this level as retail variants of the iPhone 5 have it at around Php 36,000 to Php43,000.
