Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo unofficially lands for Php27,990

Announced in February for certain emerging markets, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo is the hexa-core version of the Note 3 from last year. It was first introduced in India for Php29,000 but found its way to the Philippines via Villman.

It was also the first time we’ve heard of the hexa-core chip being used by Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo specs:
5.5-inch Super AMOLED display @ 1280 x 720 pixels, 267 ppi
Hexa-core Exynos 5260 chipset with two 1.7GHz Cortex-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz Cortex A7 cores
Mali-T624 GPU
2GB RAM
16GB internal storage
up to 64GB via microSD card
4G LTE (Band 1,3,5,7,8,20)
Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac dual-band 2.4GHz + 5GHz, VHT80
Bluetooth 4.0 A2DP + LE
WiFi Direct, DLNA
ANT+
NFC
IR Blaster
8MP rear camera with LED Flash, 2MP front camera
1080p video recording @ 30fps
GPS with A-GPS support + GLONASS
Li-Ion 3,100mAh battery
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
148.4 x 77.4 x 8.6mm (dimension)
162.5 grams (weight)

Surprisingly, Villman’s retail price of Php27,990 is lower than the SRP it got when it was introduced in India.

We’re not sure if the Galaxy Note 3 Neo will be officially released by Samsung in the Philippines soon but we’re guessing it could be lower than the Php28k that Villman is peddling it for.

At 40,900 Indian Rupees (approximately Php29,000), it is basically the cheaper variant of the Galaxy Note 3 (which retailed at Php36,990 during its launch). Some would still consider its price to be a bit steep, but think that inside it you have six cores that can work simultaneously mainly due to the use of Heterogeneous Multi-Processing or HMP. Feature-wise, it carries S Pen, Air Command, and Easy Clip, while having support for Multi Window and S Note.
