    I'm looking for a smartphone that will be used for calls, text and viber. What's important is it will last at least 3 years problem free. I'll give the phone to my Mom and I prefer a Samsung since that's the brand of her tablet. The phone has to be at least 5 inches.

    My choices are Samsung, Asus and Mi. Any recommendations? Thank you

    parang pwede pa ata pababain presyo nyan. Pag lazada wallet daw payment less 20% pero maximum less 600pesos (LAZWALLET20). Tapos bdo credit card -15% pero maximum of 400pesos mabawas. Tapos yung lazada wallet cash-in 12% bonus credit (240pesos one time )

    So bagsak 5,710.

    Sana pwede isa pa voucher gamitin yung dinownload na 400pesos last week.

    A bit more expensive pero mas sulit imho.

    I will always choose Samsung over Xiaomi...

    Pero under ng Android One program yung A series ng Xiaomi...

    A1 is now receiving Android Pie.
    A2 will get Android Q

    Samsung J? It was released with Marshmallow and upgraded to Nougat, Nougat was released in 2016!

    Oh. All praises kasi mga tao sa Pocophone kaya I thought at par na sa Samsung ang Xiaomi brand. Though I do prefer Samsung. How about the J6? I want to stay within P10k kasi [emoji14]

    Yes mas maganda A series. If may A series na P10K then bargain na yun.

    Get the A72017. Got mine ditched in a water filth canal while alighting the car, had it washed with tap water and cleaned with alcohol and its working as if nothing happened. May lumabas lang na moisutre detected alarm then nawala narin after drying. The newer A7 are not worth the money as its back to micro USB and not IP67.

    That's way beyond my budget of P10k

    Poco is a good phone thanks to it's price...

    Samsung, S or Note, A if budget is limited...

    BUT the A series ng Xiaomi will get proper updates...

    As I mentioned earlier, A1 is already getting Android Pie... Name a Samsung device running Android Pie today...

    If you plan to use it for 3 years, then the A2 Lite will be running a 2 year old OS by the time you look for a replacement.

    J6+ (2018) ng Samsung running Oreo out of the box, high chance it will get Pie next year, pero hanggang dun n lang sya.

    Ubos ang A1 sa lazada. Bwisit hindi ko sineryoso yung tinawag sa akin na 5,990 daw. Flash sale pala yun!!!!!

    Ano ibig mo sabihin yung sa A2 na running a 2 year old operating system?

    Sa next sale magbabantay na ako sa computer. Kakaoverwhelm kasi yung mga voucher voucher.

    3 years requirement ni _Cathy_

    Android will be version 12 (S) - in case di pa ready ang Google Fuchsia

    A2 and A2 Lite will definitely get Android 10 (Q)

    So after 3 years, 2 years old pa lang ang OS ng A2/A2 Lite...

    So icy pati ito A1 magiging android 10?

    bumalik na sa 5,990 yung A1. Hindi pala flash sale. Pinabili ko na. Less400pesos voucher at ginamitan ng rcbc credit card less 500pesos. So 5,090 babayaran ko sa january. hohohohoho merry new year. Grabe sasama loob yung mga bumili ng 6990 kanina.

    (tapos biglang iflash sale mamaya ng less 1thou pa noh ako naman maiinis hahahahah)

    Pwede ko pa nga padapain ng 4,750 kaso tinamad na ako mag 7-11. Ipalazada wallet ko daw ng 2000pesos so magkaka-cash-in 240. Tapos pag lazada wallet pinambayad less 20% so max of 600. And yung collected voucher pa 400pesos. Hindi lang kasi ako sanay eh nakamenos pa sana 340pesos.
