Celcom has finally unveiled its Samsung Galaxy Nexus plans today with bundled device pricing from RM1,368 for consumer plans and RM1,348 for Biz plans. The plans are the same as the unconfirmed plan details posted last week. However there’s no mention of the RM60 extra rebates on Celcom website.

For consumer plans, you get a choice from monthly RM88 to RM250 commitment plans with 12 months and 18 months contract options. The highest commitment plan of Celcom Exec 250 at 18 months will let you pick up a Galaxy Nexus for RM1,368 while the lowest and shortest commitment of Celcom Exec 50 + Mobile Internet Basic of 12 months will let you have it for RM1,708. On BIZ Plans, you’ll have 2 monthly plan options at RM118 and RM150 but tied to a 24 months duration.

On Celcom, there’s an upfront payment between RM300 – 600 and this will be rebated back to your bill over 12 months period. For cancellation of contract midway, Celcom charges a penalty of RM500.

If you’re interested to find out the minimum ownership cost on Celcom compared to others, check out our Galaxy Nexus plan comparison. Since there’s no mention of the 6 months X RM10 promo, you might need to add RM60 into Celcom plans.

UPDATE: Celcom finally reveals official Galaxy Nexus bundled plans. Details are the same however there’s no mention of RM60 rebate.

UPDATE 2: DiGi has made some drastic changes on their Galaxy Nexus offering. They no longer offer 12 months option and the offered device price is now RM1,999 with more rebates on the monthly subscription fee. Check out the latest comparison at the bottom of the post after the break.

Original Post Before 16th January
The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be officially available in Malaysia on Friday the 13th. DiGi has fired the first salvo by offering pre-orders ahead of launch from RM1399. Meanwhile Celcom too is expected to offer the Galaxy Nexus from as low as RM1368.

So what’s the difference between the 2? First is the contract duration where DiGi offers 12 & 24 months while Celcom offers 12 & 18 month options. Next is the subscription plan where both offerings are different.

On DiGi, the subscription fees are the lowest but that’s because it only comes with mobile internet data and calls & SMS are charged separately. This is perfect for those that hardly make much calls or SMS and rely greatly on mobile internet for communication with apps such as WhatsApp, FB Messenging and etc. For Celcom, all 3 plans on offer comes with bundled voice calls and SMS with its Celcom Exec plans.

So how much does it cost to own a Galaxy Nexus on these bundled plans? Read on for more.

UPDATE 2: Celcom finally reveals official Galaxy Nexus bundled plans. Details are the same however there’s no mention of RM60 rebate.

The Galaxy Nexus will be officially launched in Malaysia with Celcom as one of the telco offering it on contract. From this latest update, the Galaxy Nexus is priced at RM2099 outright, placing it right in between the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note. On Celcom, the Galaxy Nexus can be yours from RM1368.

UPDATE: Unconfirmed Celcom Galaxy Nexus plans.

UPDATE 2: DiGi starts pre-order of Samsung Galaxy Nexus from RM1,399.

If you’re looking for bundle offer for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, you can now expect both DiGi & Celcom to offer the device at subsidised pricing with the usual plans like the Galaxy Note. As usual Maxis is still staying away from Android devices, except for its recent Motorola RAZR bundling.

So how much would the Galaxy Nexus go for on contract? Since the Galaxy Nexus is priced between the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note, we are expecting the contracted pricing as follows:

• Celcom RM1150-RM1300 (on 18 months Celcom Exec 250)
• DiGi RM1249-RM1399 (on 24 months DG Smart Plan 68)

Originally planned for December release, the Galaxy Nexus is currently slated on the 13th January, which is just 2 Fridays away. For those who can’t wait, you can get a Galaxy Nexus from grey importers for as low as RM2040.
