DiGi is throwing additional savings in the form of monthly rebates for those that purchase a new device with 24 months contract of DG Smart Plan 68 or Smart Plan 88.
The first promotion offers 1 year rebate of RM15/month if you sign up for a Samsung Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab 7.7 on contract. This gives additional savings of RM180 on top of the RM5/month rebate if you opt for auto billing. This offer only available at both DiGi centres and their online store. The promotion is only valid from now until 30th June.
The next offer is 1 year rebate of RM10/month which gives a savings of RM120. This covers a wider selection of devices below:
The offer is available thru DiGi Online Store and is valid until 31st of May.
For more information, head over to DiGi’s Smart Plan promo.
UPDATE: DiGi has brought back the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 pre-order page online. Now it is offered from as low as RM1,399. The outright price has been revised as well to RM2,099. That’s RM400 more than the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. To pre-order, head over here.
Original Post: DiGi has finally revealed its Galaxy Tab 7.7 bundled pricing just as teased yesterday. At time of posting, the page is taken down but we are expecting them to put this back later today.
Outright, the 7.7″ tablet with Super AMOLED Plus display goes for RM2,299 which is the same price as its smart phone counterpart, the Galaxy Note.
For those that wish to go on contract, you have a choice of DG SmartPlan 48 and 68 with either 12 or 24 months duration. The contracted pricing are as follows:
DG Smart Plan 48 (12 months) –
RM1,899RM1,749
DG Smart Plan 48 (24 months) –RM1,749RM1,599DG Smart Plan 68 (12 months) –
RM1,799RM1,649
DG Smart Plan 68 (24 months) –RM1,549RM1,399
Note that these pricing are obtained via screenshots before the original Tab 7.7 page was taken down so there’s a small chance that it might be revised again later. Do check on DiGi’s Online Store later for the official figures. As usual, there’s also an upfront payment between RM50-RM500 required depending on plan and duration. Do expect other telcos to offer the Galaxy Tab 7.7 and we are looking at Celcom as the next player.
With Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab 7.7 both having the same price tag, which would you go for and why?
UPDATE: DiGi starts pre-order of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 from RM1,399. RRP RM2,099. More details here.
Update: Word has is that the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will very likely be available at selected Samsung Exclusive Partner stores this Friday. By very likely, we mean most definitely.
Heads up people, DiGi just dropped the bomb on Facebook. The operator will be revealing plans for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tomorrow. We don’t think physical units will be available tomorrow but if DiGi does what they always do, you can expect the Galaxy Tab 7.7 to be available on pre-order on DiGi Store Online. And if DiGi continues to do what we think they will do, you can expect to receive delivery of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 by Friday.
Earlier, Samsung revealed that the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will retail for less than RM2,500. Our estimates put the device around the RM2.2k mark mainly because of the 7.7-inch 1280×800 Super AMOLED Plus display – possibly the largest Super AMOLED Plus display on a consumer device to date – which will be expensive to produce, so naturally, you can expect a premium for that display.
We’re expected other operators to start revealing plans for the device soon as well. Stay tuned!
