Unboxing the Samsung S8 Plus: My Most Expensive Tech Splurge Yet

 On May 7, 2017, I finally got my hands on the newly released Samsung S8 Plus—a tech marvel that had been making waves in the market for its innovative design and advanced features. This unboxing is extra special for me because it’s my most expensive purchase yet, and I managed to snag it at a significant discount thanks to a good friend. The S8+ originally retailed for PHP 45,990, and buyers had to pre-order it before the official release date. But with a stroke of luck and a great deal, I got mine for only PHP 34,000, saving PHP 12,000 off its original price!

This opportunity came courtesy of my friend William Pombo, who recently renewed his Globe Plan. His upgraded package included the Samsung S8 Plus, and he offered it to me at a much lower price than the market rate. Given how much I’d been eyeing this phone, I couldn’t resist the offer. For someone like me, who appreciates a good deal on tech gadgets, this was a win-win situation!

The unboxing experience itself was nothing short of exciting. As I peeled back the layers of sleek packaging, the first thing that struck me was the S8+'s elegant design. Its edge-to-edge Infinity Display looked stunning, and its lightweight build felt perfect in my hands. As I powered it on, the vibrant AMOLED screen and snappy performance immediately lived up to the hype. Beyond the aesthetics, I was eager to test its features like the improved camera, wireless charging, and water resistance—each a step up from my previous device.

Reflecting on this purchase, I feel that the Samsung S8 Plus is worth every peso spent. It’s not just a phone but a statement piece that combines functionality and style. With its advanced features, it’s the perfect device to keep up with my on-the-go lifestyle and content creation needs. This unboxing marks the beginning of my journey with one of Samsung’s most iconic smartphones, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share it with you all. Stay tuned for more tech updates, reviews, and personal experiences! Advertisement by Google:
