| Samsung Galaxy S Advance Philippines Captured on Video! Android 2.3.6, Confirmed! Posted: 01 Feb 2012 09:09 AM PST TechPinas Exclusive! Since the Philippines is getting Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 ahead of Europe and even the United States, I figured I might as well share more in-the-flesh photos and post a quick hands-on video of the gorgeous handset.  SGSA in the TechPinas Hideout! Live! Thanks, Samsung!   From this angle, we can clearly see that the scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass screen of SGSA is curved. It's a cool design feature SGSA shares with its more expensive sibling, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Like what I shared in the previous post, Samsung Galaxy S Advance runs Android Gingerbread with its Dual Core ARM Cortex-A9 U8500 chipset processor. Some key features include a 4-inch 480 x 800 pixels SuperAMOLED display, 5 MegaPixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, 720p video recorder, 768 RAM, 8GB of internal storage, microUSB 2.0 port, microSD card slot supporting up to 32GB, and a Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery. As for connectivity, the phone supports Wifi, Bluetooth and 3G HSDPA up to 14.4 Mbps. The hands-on video confirms that Samsung Galaxy S Advance runs Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS. This specific version of the operating system supposedly comes with faster boot time, support for 3G connectivity speed increase, and several other security and performance improvements. Note that Samsung has yet to confirm if SGSA will receive ICS firmware update. Again, Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 is set to arrive in the Philippines within this February with an official SRP of Php 22,990. It will be available at all authorized Samsung retailers nationwide.

| Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 Philippines Price Php 22,990, Specs, Features, In the Flesh! Posted: 01 Feb 2012 03:34 AM PST TechPinas Exclusive! This is as fresh as fresh gets! Officially announced by Samsung just a few hours ago and rumored to be unveiled in Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Spain happening by the end of February, Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 had already found its way to our humble TechPinas Hideout in Manila, Philippines! Let me tell you, the beauty of this handset can only be matched by how solid it feels in the hand. Samsung has clearly outdone itself yet again with the design and construction of this device. I mean, just look at it:   Flaunting a curved Gorilla Glass touchscreen (just like the more expensive Samsung Galaxy Nexus) and a metallic rim, Samsung Galaxy S Advance is a joy both to behold and hold.  But this phone is definitely not all looks no substance. A true member of Samsung's elite S-line, S Advance runs the latest version of Android Gingerbread OS, Android 2.3.6, with its Dual Core 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and 768 GB of RAM. Multimedia features are also covered; You get a 5 MegaPixel camera with autofocus lens and LED flash, a High-Definition 720p video recorder, and a whole range of connectivity options including Wifi, Bluetooth and 3G HSDPA. Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation told TechPinas that Samsung Galaxy S Advance should hit store shelves across the country within this month. The official suggested retail price is Php 22,990, making it a high-midrange, borderline high-end release. More about this smartphone on TP soon. But to wrap up this particular entry in true TechPinas fashion, here are the complete specifications of Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070:

| Posted: 01 Feb 2012 12:03 AM PST TechPinas Exclusive! It has finally made it to our TP Hideout. Here's what Samsung Galaxy Y Duos looks like in the flesh, TP Friends:   Samsung Galaxy Y Duos - as its very name suggests - is the Dual SIM Dual Standby version of the Yuletide best-seller teen-favorite Android-powered, Samsung Galaxy Y.   So let me share my first impressions of the handset: 1. Just looking at its name, it's easy to imagine that this phone would look exactly like Samsung Galaxy Y. But actually, it doesn't. In fact, it dons a different design altogether. Duos is a tad bigger, has thicker metallic accents and as such, is slightly heavier. I'll post a design comparison entry with lots of photos to prove this soon. 2. The two SIM card slots of Duos are behind the battery so you'd have to turn off the phone and remove the back cover should you want to swap SIM cards. 3. Duos' screen is 0.15-inch wider diagonally than that of the single-SIM version. The display quality is just the same though. Both have 240 x 320 pixels resolution and only shows 256K colors. 4. Both Samsung Galaxy Y and Samsung Galaxy Y Duos run Android Gingerbread operating system with an 832 MHz processor so you get almost similar performance. When it comes to multitasking though, Duos should be a tad better as it has more RAM. 5. Being a Dual SIM phone, Duos has a SIM Card Manager in the Android Settings which lets you activate or deactivate SIMs, choose which SIM to use for your Data Service as well as opt to receive incoming calls via other SIM card while using data service. That's it for now, TP Friends. Stay tuned for our full review. Samsung Galaxy Y Duos is out now in the Philippines via authorized Samsung retail outlets. The official suggested retail price is Php 8,990.
