Battle of the Ultra-Budget Mid-Range Phone 2020

• levi on March 31, 2019 02:29 PM

  Which phone under 15K has the best camera? Yung available locally. In terms of other specs, Pwede na sakin ang Redmi Note 5 AI, pero payag akong dagdagan ng konti yung budget para sa mas magandang camera esp. for low light photos. Thanks.

  @levi
  
  Nokia 7 Plus @ 11,990. Great battery life, Stock Android 9 Pie, Good camera.

  @Iggby, thanks! Will check out the Nokia 7 Plus reviews re: camera. Hopefully better than Redmi Note 7 and Honor Play, which are in my short list.

  I'm impressed sa Nightscape mode ng Realme 3, not as bright at detailed compared sa night mode ng gcam sa Pocophone pero better than nightshot ng Honor 10 lite. Also it photos looks like its taken at night just a bit brighter to discern the details, di tulad sa poco na hating gabi mukang kinuha ng 6pm. Also, strength ng Oppo is the really good beauty mode, no additional filters needed. What I dont like is video quality, no stabilization at all, slow to focus, not much options din, just resolution (720p/1080p 30fps). Na salba lang ng opencamera app for videos. Performance is a bit better compared sa Honor 10 lite. Apps loaded just a bit behind ng Pocophone. Games wise equal lang ng Honor 10 lite. Battery, panalo, comparable sa Zenfone Max Pro M1 kahit medyo smaller battery. 2days is no problem. Overall its a keeper, nasa kapatid ko na kahit di radiant blue color.

  Sir saan ba merong Nokia 7 plus? Thanks in advance.

• valentino_luthi on April 07, 2019 06:35 PM

  Nice sir @cloud08.
  Umorder ako ng Radiant Blue noong 4.4 sa Sh*pe*.
  Till now, di pa umuusad
  :-)

• bibepato on April 10, 2019 01:16 AM

  I suggest you try 2nd hand older flagships (LG V30/SAMSUNG S8 PLUS/ONE PLUS 5T). or if may extra budget ka you can try Note8/Pixel 2XL

• valentino_luthi on April 15, 2019 02:29 PM

  got the Radiant Blue color of Realme 3. it's gorgeous.
  Everything that @cloud08 said are on point.
  Value for money talaga.
  Hindi ka magkakamali sa Redmi Note 7 at Realme 3.
  Great Midrange phones are getting cheap while flagships are flying off the roof.

• valentino_luthi on April 21, 2019 07:01 PM

  maiba ko guys. Samsung's J Series is no more.
  Aside from the Entry to Midrange (Budget) M Series.
  ang dami nilang A series ngayon.
  Nakakahilo ang line up. daming pagpipilian

• aa1031 on May 23, 2019 06:11 PM

  Check out the Realme 3 Pro. It's very competitive in price and spec wise.

• fr3ak on May 24, 2019 10:14 AM

  Kakalungot isipin na konti na ang pumapasyal dito sa site natin dahil sa FB groups.
  Dito mas formal, mas edukado members (walang trash talk or diss na pang-bata) at mabilis umaksyon ang admins/mods.
  Walang sagot na "edi wow". hehehe.
  
  May mga active members pa kaya dito na Redmi Note 9s/ and Realme 6 users na makakapagbigay ng input /review? :-)

  Mi 9S or Mi Note 10 Lite?

  
  Redmi Note 9S ba?
  Mi Note 10 Lite kaso layo ng price hehehe.
  I think it should be Note 9S/Pro vs. Realme 6/Pro

  ano nangyari sa on screen fingerprint sensor at nag babalik ulet ang side fingerprint sensor? may na panood kase ako sa review na compromise daw sa bend test yung smartphone dahil sa side fingerprint sensor...

• migs10 on July 11, 2020 02:04 PM

  Realme X2 User lakas ng frame drops, medium graphics sa settings.

• Adventure on July 17, 2020 12:10 AM

  tama ba pag ka basa ko, mas na una ma release yung redmi note 10 kaysa sa redmi note 9???

• no_pride on July 23, 2020 01:34 PM

  Ngayon lang ulit magpapalit ng phone...
  May magagandang unit pa ba na sub 7K price? Preferably naka adreno
  
  Aside from Huawei, may iba pa bang brand na natanggalan ng Google Playstore?
  
  Currently looking at Xiaomi Note 8... same price lang ba talaga ito with Redmi note 8?
  may better model/specs ba at the same or lower price?
