The Great Samsung Giveaway

The holidays are coming and what better way to make it felt but by experiencing it ourselves. A few days ago in a posh upscale restaurant in BGC, Samsung Philippines had us guessing the prices of their gadgets included in packages that they plan to sell this Christmas season. This will be available from November 6 – December 31, 2015. This means, you'll not only have one of the best mobile phone handsets in Android history, but you'll also get sweet surprises with it like subscriptions to iFlix free credits/rides with Uber and lovely discounts to online shopping giant Zalora.

That's not all, aside from the FREE stuff in their bundles, they also are giving away Php 3 MILLION worth of PRIZES in their DAILY RAFFLE. The prizes include a trip for two to the land of spicy kimchi Korea, a Road Bike from world class Trek, a year’s supply of coffee from well loved Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, a ton of Samsung gadgets, a multitude of energy efficient Samsung digital appliances plus the grand prize - a brand new spanking Volkswagen Beetle!

They got us to also go ahead and guess the price of the packages they have for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung Note 5, Samsung A8, Samsung J5, Samsung Tab S2, and the Samsung Tab E also. I was a little nervous because the prices I put in on the raffle coupons might be too far, but I know I got some of them right. Then after the winners were called this happened!

I won a brand new spanking Samsung NX Mini Mirrorless Camera. If that ain't something to celebrate, I don't know what will. So if you're looking for a gift to yourself or your loved ones, make sure you take advantage of the packages that Samsung has on their partner establishments, and Samsung experience stores nationwide!

First Look: Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

It's here and Samsung just proudly announced the most advanced phone they have in their arsenal. This is the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. We got dibs on some photos from our friends from Smart and I'm sure they'll be coming out with the best packages when this gets officially released this quarter.

It already won accolades in the recent Mobile World Congress for being the "Best New Handset, Tablet or Device" by the modest GSM Association. I think it's the first time that a company did get that in consecutive years since they also won last year with the Samsung Gear Fit. They are also employing the Knox Security Platform which is the best security and fraud protection for this OS, they also won themselves an award for that solution too.

Both phones steered away from the plasticky exterior they used to have and now has a longer facade at 5.65 inches. What wowed most of the people during the launch is the Platinum Gold color, which made this look so expensive. It's also going to be available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire and Blue Topaz.

The camera also popped out on a bevel and has 16 Megapixels, whilst it's front camera is at 5 Megapixels. I'm sure you would be able to see your pores when you use the back camera for selfies. 

Samsung fans, this would be your next dream phone but of course like what people are afraid of with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, you might not want it if you're a little clumsy. You couldn't bump this on table corners because the edges are exposed. Or if they do invent cases for the Samsung Galaxy Edge, what are they planning to do? Cover it? Makes sense?

If you are to choose, I suggest you get the Samsung Galaxy S6 instead of the Edge. You might want to wait a bit too because from what I know of the pricepoints, it's a bit expensive. If you are getting a plan, make sure it's from Smart so you take full advantage of the LTE connection since they have the widest coverage. Smart Postpaid plans also might get it easier for you to pay for this phone. It's a bit on the pricey side because this is a premium phone. Or wait a few months or years so the price goes down, some day, somehow.
