Samsung
has officially unveiled the new members of its flagship Galaxy S line of highly-engaging
and pricey smartphones, the Galaxy S9 and S9+, which are set to redefine the experience
of the line. These two would eventually be launched in the Philippines at a
special event where tech enthusiasts and media personalities have watched the
unveiling event straight from the 2018 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona,
Spain.
In

The
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus will be available in the Philippines starting
March 16, 2018 but those who are interested can pre-order their own Galaxy S9
or S9 unit until March 6 in any Samsung store nationwide. If you prefer it to
be bundled with a postpaid plan, then go with Smart Postpaid's new GigaX Plans
for starters or even Globe's postpaid offers via The Plan unless there are
slight consequences if you prefer the ladder.
