TOP 10 SMARTPHONES UNDER ₱7,000 IN THE PHILIPPINES FOR 2015

For some people who wants to know the best deal for your money, here is some list of affordable yet great looking smartphones currently in the market. This is the price level where ‘bang for the buck’smartphones from local and international brands target.

Take note that this is a personal rankingbased on my experience in writing reviews and articles about these devices here on Pinoy Techno Guide. Share your reactions in the comments section below.

10. ASUS ZenFone Go – ₱5,995.00

ASUS makes it to this list with the ZenFone Go, a 5-inch smartphone with a quad core processor, 2GB of RAM and 8 Megapixel camera.
The pricier ZenFone 2 is still worth a look but you need to stretch your budget a little. You may also choose the ZenFone 5 but that was released in 2014 which disqualifies it here.

9. Lenovo A6000 Plus – ₱6,999.00

The Lenovo A6000 Plus is also a 5-inch HD smartphone with almost the same features as the ZenFone Go. It also has a quad core processor, 2GB of RAM and an 8 Megapixel camera.
It’s better than the previous smartphone because it has 4G LTE connectivity allowing its users to enjoy fast mobile internet connection. It also has a larger battery rated at 2,300mAh.
Starmobile Up Ultra

8. Starmobile Up Ultra – ₱6,490.00

Instead of the Starmobile Knight Luxe, I changed the number eight spot to the new and better Starmobile Up Ultra that was launched on the same day as this article was published.
The Starmobile Up Ultra has a 5.5-inch HD display, quad core processor, 2GB of RAM and 13 Megapixel camera. It also comes with a free Smart SIM card that provides free 4G mobile internet access for one year (with conditions) and iFlix subscription for six months.
Cherry Mobile One G1

7. Cherry Mobile One G1 – ₱5,999.00

This is the only Android One device on this list. It’s a second generation Android One smartphone with better features than MyPhone’s Uno or the same brand’s One.
It still has a 5-inch HD display, quad core processor and a pair of 13 and 5 Megapixel cameras but also features 4G LTE connectivity and a 2,500mAh battery.

6. Meizu M2 – ₱5,499.00

The Meizu M2 has almost the same features as the Cherry Mobile One G1. It has a 5-inch HD display, quad core processor, 2GB RAM and 13 Megapixel camera.
Nevertheless, you will save ₱1,500 from your budget if you choose this! The only disadvantage is that its second SIM slot also serves as the microSD card slot. Hence, you’ve have to sacrifice its dual SIM capability to expand the 16GB built-in storage.

5. Alcatel Flash 2 – ₱6,190.00

Half-way on the list is Alcatel’s Flash 2 smartphone. It’s an octa core smartphone with almost the same features as those from above but better battery which is rated at 3,000mAh.
The Alcatel Flash 2 also boasts a good quality camera which looks cool with its circular LED flash and employs Phase Detection Autofocus to take sharp pictures quickly.

4. Acer Liquid Z630 – ₱6,990.00

I regret not giving the Acer Liquid Z630 a lot of attention. It’s most defining features are its 8 Megapixel cameras both at the back and on the front as well as the massive 4,000mAh battery!
This smartphone has a 5.5-inch HD display, quad core processor, 2GB of RAM and 4G LTE connectivity.
MyPhone My35

3. MyPhone My35 – ₱6,888.00

MyPhone’s My series leaked August 2015. It’s the company’s new naming scheme for its smartphones. While there will be no new Rio of Iceberg smartphone, the My35 is definitely feature packed!
It has 3GB of RAM, octa core processor, 4G LTE connectivity, 13 Megapixel main camera, 5 Megapixel front camera, a 3,140mAh battery and Hi-Fi audio.

2. MyPhone My36 – ₱6,999.00

Here’s another entry from MyPhone’s My series. The My36 is the company’s best smartphone released this year.
It flaunts a 5.2-inch display with full HD resolution and still has the same 3GB of RAM, octa core processor, 4G LTE connectivity, 13 Megapixel camera at the back with Phase Detection Autofocus and 5 Megapixel front camera.

1. Cherry Mobile Flare X – ₱6,999.00

Cherry Mobile Flare X - Best Smartphone Under  ₱7,000
The best smartphone under ₱7,000 in the Philippines for 2015 is none other than the Cherry Mobile Flare X!
It has a 5.5-inch full HD display, 13 Megapixel camera at the back and 5 Megapixel front camera. It runs on a 1.7GHz octa core processor with 3GB of RAM and powered by a 3,000mAh battery.

Honorable Mentions:

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 almost made it to the list but its small screen (4.7 inches) and mere 1GB of RAM brought it down despite having 4G LTE connectivity.
If you care about the brand of your smartphone, the Motorola Moto E and Samsung Galaxy J2 are also good picks for a 7k budget. Both have 4G LTE connectivity but the first one only has 4.5-inch display while the latter suffers from a relatively small 2,000mAh battery.
