Maxis to offer Samsung Galaxy S II at RM799!!!

Yup. You read it right! RM799 only. But you are a seasoned consumer in this telecommunications field, right? You won’t think that you will get it at RM799 only without contract, right? Yeah, to get Samsung Galaxy S II at this price you need to sign a 24-month contract of 3GB data plan with Maxis.

But this offer is only valid for the 1st 300 customers who buy Samsung Galaxy S II with Maxis 24 months contract of 3GB data plan on the launch day itself. The launch day is on 22nd June 2011 (Wednesday), 3pm – 10pm at Centre Court, Mid Valley Megamall.

Don’t worry if you missed the launch date and the RM799 promotion.  You still can get RM200 rebate when you purchase Samsung Galaxy S II with their 12, 18 or 24 months data plan contract from 22nd June 2011 until 22nd July 2011.

Currently, Maxis is selling Samsung Galaxy S II with its bundled data plan from as low as RM1399, depending on which data plan you pick and how long is your contract. The RRP of Samsung Galaxy S II (SGS2) is RM2,099. Indeed, the rumored price of SGS2 is correct. :-)

So, will you queue up on the launch day of Samsung Galaxy S II at Mid Valley Megamall just to get it at RM799?

Samsung Galaxy S II Malaysia for RM2099!!!

The price for Samsung Galaxy S II (SGS2) in the grey market has dropped a lot ever since Samsung Galaxy S II is confirmed to launch next week. From RM2,599, the price of SGS2 has dropped to RM2,099. Does this indicate that the official Samsung Galaxy S II will be RM2,099? It should be somewhere around there since HTC Sensation is priced at RM2,299.

The fiercer the competition, the better it is for the consumers. Last year, Samsung Galaxy S was priced at Rm2,599 (RRP) and now with upgraded specs, it’s priced around RM2100 – RM,2300.

I wonder how Maxis will bundle this phone with its call and data plans. Will it be like last time? RM900 rebate with 1 year contract. RM1,200 is certainly a very attractive price. Well, it’s one more week before we know everything. :-)

When will Samsung Galaxy S II come to Malaysia?

Samsung Galaxy S II. A serious competitor of iPhone 4 and the upcoming iPhone 4S.

All tech gadgets blogs and websites gave this smartphone rave reviews and some even says that it’s better than iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

Here’s an official 12 minutes++ video from Samsung that gives you a demo on what Samsung Galaxy S II can offer. One thing to note is the Kies Air feature.

After reading some of the reviews of Samsung Galaxy S II in the Internet, I am so tempted to get it since it might be coming to Malaysia sooner than iPhone 4S.

When will Samsung Galaxy S 2 comes to Malaysia? How much will Samsung Galaxy S II be priced in Malaysia?

A thing to note is that Samsung has delayed Singapore’s Samsung Galaxy S II April  due to the upgrade of the processor. No official launch date and official pricing for Singapore’s Samsung Galaxy S II after the delay. :-( Rumored price for Singapore’s Galaxy S II is around S$1000 – S$1200.

It’s rumored that Samsung Galaxy S II will come to Malaysian somewhere end of May or somewhere in June 2011. The price should range from RM2,200-RM2,600. More update will come. Stay tuned!
