Samsung Galaxy Y Duos Price Philippines, Specs, Release Date, Features

Smart-Sun might want to take a look at this.

Samsung Galaxy Y Duos has all the key features that Samsung fans have grown to love on the best-selling Galaxy Y S5360. It has a 3.14 inch capacitive touchscreen display, runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, has a 3.15 MegaPixel camera and supports Wifi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity. But, as its very name suggests, it boasts an extra feature that a lot of users need these days; Dual SIM Dual Standby functionality!

Samsung has yet to formally announce this phone in the Philippines. So, as of writing, we don't have the official release date and pricing details. Nonetheless, I'm expecting this phone to arrive in Pinas early next year with a price tag of around Php 6,500. I might be wrong though, so as always, it'd be best to wait for the official press release.

TechPinas has just received official word from Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation regarding the suggested retail price of Samsung Galaxy Y Duos. The official price tag is Php 8,990. A review unit has also just reached our hideout. We'll post more feature articles soon.

So why Smart Sun? If you remember, the two had a merger earlier this year and a few days ago, finally released this Smart Sun Dual Plan 549. I'm thinking they might want to consider this phone as a bundled handset in slightly more expensive plans. I think the people will love it.
