We believe that Samsung Electronics Philippines will bring the 6GB/64GB version here, considering that it released the base models of the Galaxy Note 5 and Note 7 in the country. The latter retailed at P39,990 ($780) before it was recalled in October 2016, and the Note 5 cost P36,990($721) at launch.

Take note that the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are selling for P39,990 and P45,990 ($897), respectively. Could it be that the Samsung Galaxy S8 Note will be costlier than the latter?
