A few days back, Samsung has slashed the popular Samsung Galaxy S II by RM200. As a result, Celcom and DiGi has revised its subsidised bundled pricing which offers it as low as RM998 on Celcom and RM1199 on DiGi. This is a reduction as much as RM210 on Celcom and RM150 on DiGi.
So far there’s no change from U Mobile’s offering of RM849 on U Premium contract, which is one of the cheapest offering we’ve seen to date. Also surprisingly Maxis, the first telco to offer the Galaxy S II has removed all traces of the device from their website.
For more information, check out the Samsung Galaxy S II page on Celcom & DiGi.
U Mobile outs Samsung Galaxy S II plan details

Finally U Mobile has released the full details for its Samsung Galaxy S II offer. As reported earlier, the Galaxy S II is offered as low as RM849 with 24 months contract of U Premium’s RM168/month plan.
While that option is quite heavy for some, there are other lower options which are surprisingly affordable ranging between RM999 to RM1499. The best part is the contract duration of only 18 months instead of 24.
For example, those that want the least commitment and cost of ownership, the Galaxy S II is offered at RM1499 on U Lite plan. The U Lite plan offers combined 300 minutes of calls, 200 SMS (within U Mobile and for other networks) and a rather generous 3GB worth of data for just RM68/month. That totals up to RM1,224 for subscription over 18 months and you get to enjoy RM875 subsidy for the phone. On other telcos, RM68/month only give you mobile internet without any calls/sms included.
Overall, these plans aren’t too bad at all and probably is the lowest ownership plan for the Galaxy S II. The only downside of course is the upfront payment which you would need to pay as much as 7 months in advance. That doesn’t necessary mean its a bad thing since you would be paying for subscription anyway.
For more info, head to U Mobile’s Samsung bundle page.

UPDATE: U Mobile Galaxy S II full plan details here.
Not wanting to be left behind, U Mobile is also offering the Samsung Galaxy S II. Finally, the underdog telco has a flagship android device just like the other big 3 – Maxis, Celcom and DiGi. The discovery was found thanks to a tip off from an SMS sent by U Mobile.
According to the message, the Samsung Galaxy S II is offered from as low as RM849. To find out more, the message suggest visiting their U Mobile stores or their website. At point of posting, no details are available on u.com.my. Like the RM399 Samsung Galaxy Tab offer, we would expect the Galaxy S II to be tied with U Premium postpaid plan for 24 months.
We will share more details once we find out more.
Thanks to @azrirashid for sending this in!

UPDATE: Celcom Samsung Galaxy S II & Galaxy S Plus plans now official on Celcom website. Thanks to @synnnx for the update.
It appears that Celcom too is offering Samsung Galaxy S II, making it the 3rd telco to offer the anticipated Android device. We got this info via our tipster and we can’t confirm right now if it’s available at all Celcom outlets. We tried searching over at Celcom’s website but there are no details as well.
Based on the table above, the Galaxy S II is offered as low as RM1208 over 18 months contract with Celcom Exec 250. If RM250/month is too much, there are other options such as Celcom Exec 50 + mAdvance of RM118/month and Celcom Exec 50 + mBasic of RM88/month.
In addition to that, there’s also the Samsung Galaxy S Plus at the bottom of the table. According to GSM Arena, the Galaxy S Plus is a refresh of the original Galaxy S smart phone. What it offers is an upgraded 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255T single Core processor and a larger 1650mAh battery. The rest of the specs remain unchanged and it also comes with a 4″ Super AMOLED screen like the original. On contract, it can be yours for as low as RM778/month with CelcomExec 250.
Looks like Celcom currently has the widest range of Samsung Galaxy S – Galaxy SL, Galaxy S Plus and Galaxy S II.
Thanks to @synnnx for the tip! Full plan details after the break

As hinted yesterday, Samsung Galaxy S II is finally available on DiGi.
It is offered at RM1599 for 12 months and RM1349 for 24 months contract with DG Smart Plan. As comparison, Maxis is offering the Galaxy S II at RM1599 for 12 months and RM1399 for 24 months with either 1.5GB/3.0GB data bundle. Surprisingly the Galaxy S II is more expensive than expected as the subsidy amount is less as compared to the HTC Sensation.
There’s a EPP Credit Card offer where the Galaxy S II can be yours from RM128.30/month for 24 months installment.
For the first 100 at their Berjaya Times Square & KLCC roadshows , you’ll get a free Bluetooth heatset worth RM149.

DiGi has hinted on their Facebook page that they will be offering the Samsung Galaxy S II with full details coming out tomorrow. This comes about a month after the Samsung Galaxy S II availability with Maxis. Usually devices are only exclusive to an operator for a limited time and this happens to be the case for the Galaxy S II.
It is expected that the Galaxy S II will be bundled with their DG Smart Plan with 12 and 24 months options with subsidised pricing to be similar or slightly cheaper than their current HTC Sensation offering.
Will DiGi offer a firesale for the first hundred units? All shall be revealed tomorrow.
Thanks to Jax for tipping us by email.

Maxis has finally revealed its Samsung Galaxy S II bundled plans. While they are offering a RM799 for the first 300, they are also offering additional RM200 off for those that subscribe for their contract package between 22 June – 22 July 2011.
The bundled offer is still the same Value Plus plan with Data bolt-on contract over 12, 18 and 24 months. For the 24 months contract with 1.5GB/3GB data, the Galaxy S II can be yours at RM1399. With the RM200 off promo, it is cheaper at only RM1199.
It also looks like the RM799 launch offer is applicable for the first 300 that signed up with 24 months contract with 3GB data.

UPDATE: RM799 Galaxy S II offer is tied to Maxis 24 months contract with 3GB data plan. Read more over here.
Samsung is throwing a special offer for the Samsung Galaxy S II launch next week. The first 300 buyers on 22nd June will get to buy it for only RM799! A huge RM1300 savings. We wonder if Samsung will set up a line for people to queue up the night before.
Also highlighted on the promo image above is that the RRP for the Galaxy S II is only RM2099! It’s no wonder why the grey importers were throwing their prices from its initial RM2699.
