Here is some great list of affordable smartphone with decent specs for Filipinos that were out of budget but looking for a smartphone.
Even if your budget for a new smartphone is only ₱3,000, there are already several options that have decent specs and features.
However, all the smartphones on this list are from local brands here in the Philippines. That is the trade-off that you have to make so that you can get the best value for your money.
Take note that this is a personal ranking, share your thoughts in the comments section below.
5. MyPhone My27 – ₱2,999.00
The MyPhone My27 is a 5-inch quad core smartphone with a 1.3GHz quad core processor, 1GB of RAM and Android Lollipop OS. It also has an 8 Megapixel camera at the back, 5 Megapixel selfie snapper on the front, 3G connectivity and a 2000mAh battery.
Since this is MyPhone’s eighth year in operation here in the country, they are giving away a free commemorative watch for each purchase of the MyPhone My27.
4. SKK Lynx S LTE Mini – ₱2,399.00
From the name itself, the SKK Lynx S LTE Mini has 4G LTE connectivity for less than 3k. That’s enough reason for it to be included in this list.
However, it only has a 4-inch display, 5 Megapixel camera at the back and 2 Megapixel front camera. It does have the fastest processor among the smartphones on this list at 1.5GHz.
3. Cherry Mobile Flare S3 Lite – ₱2,999.00
The Cherry Mobile Flare S3 Lite would have been in a higher position if it not for its meager 1,800mAh battery. This has always been a problem with the company’s smartphones.
It does offer a 5-inch HD display, quad core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8 Megapixel camera and 5 Megapixel front camera.
2. SKK Mobile Lynx Luxe – ₱2,999.00
SKK Mobile has another entry on this list in the name of the Lynx Luxe. Just like the Cherry Mobile Flare S3 Lite, it features a 5-inch HD display, quad core processor and 1GB of RAM.
However, it gets the upper hand by having a bigger battery rated at 2,500mAh and the Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system out of the box.
1. Cherry Mobile Touch HD – ₱2,999.00
 |
I’m not keen on recommending the Cherry Mobile Touch HD since it only becomes available during sales on Lazada. However, the Lynx Luxe has some reported issues with its touch responsiveness.
If you’re really limited to a ₱3,000 budget, this is your best choice. It has a 5-inch HD display, quad core processor with 1GB of RAM and Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. There’s also an 8 Megapixel camera and a good enough 2,000mAh battery.
Honorable Mentions:
SKK Mobile has another smartphone that almost made it to this list – the SKK Mobile Aura. It has a large 5.5-inch display but suffers from a disappointing RAM at 512MB only and main camera which is just 5 Megapixels.
The Cherry Mobile Flare J1 also has the same RAM problem as the Aura. Nevertheless, it’s available for ₱1,999 only from December 21 to 25, 2015.
Lastly, Starmobile’s entry level Play Neo is also worth considering since it has a 5-inch display and quad core processor. However, it only has a 5 Megapixel camera and 512MB of RAM.
