Decent Smartphone Worth P5k

[_Cathy_]

Can anyone recommend a decent smartphone at the P5k range?

I will be using this as my secondary phone for a prepaid data plan. I just need it for email, google maps and viber. I think some phones don't work in other countries so I need something that I can take anywhere.

Hi Cathy, try the Asus Zenfone 4. I believe it's just priced at P3,999, it's a decent 4in display phone with dual core intel processor with 1gb ram.

Check out the Starmobile Like. It is already a quad band phone and should work in Europe.

I saw this at the Villman website P3995. Best buy daw but it does not say if it is quadband. Also, I would need to buy extra ram if I will install viber/whatsapp/tango?

I don't have an account with Lazada. I would like to purchase from a physical store sana.

Look at O+ ...

May promo sila pag cash purchase yung dating 7k+ naging 5,250 na lang.

The specs is quad core with 1 gb ram dual sim pa... The downside lang is hindi sya lte hanggang 3.5g lang kaya i support

Yes i believe it is Quad band so it will work almost everywhere. 1gb of ram is the best you can get for that price range and that will be sufficient for your requirements. You may check this for more info Asus Zenfone 4 A450CG - Full phone specifications

My son is using a samsung galaxy V it's has a much lower specs than the zenfone but it works well. You can try that also if you're brand concious but other than that I'd recommend the ASUS.

Cath, I agree with Bin. The Asus has 1GB of ram which should be more than enough for your intended use. It is also quadband but based on the specs, 3G is only available in one of the sims while 2G is available on both. This is common for dual sim smart phones.

Thanks! I called Villman but it the Zenfone 4 is out of stock :headache: It looks like this phone is in demand.

Please tell me if you have suggestions on where else I can buy this phone (Makati or Fort area) I am not familiar with these techie stores since and I always go to Villman lang.

Ang galing talaga ng mga techie dito sa Tsikot. ALL my recent techie purchases are based on recommendations at this forum. I hope I could find a Zenfone 4 pa.

i saw some shops selling the asus zonephone at Cyberzone SM Megamall...can't remember which stores though

[_Qwerty_]

Samsung Galaxy V is cheap.. it's ok naman..

check also lazada.com they have discounts on phones..

[_Cathy_]

I'll check out the Samsung Galaxy 5 since my current phone is a Samsung. Pero mas maganda review ng asus pala

CPU: Galaxy V is single core only, Zenfone is dual
camera: Galaxy V has flash but no autofocus, Zenfone has autofocus but no flash

For me, a single-core Android today is just a big no-no. Very unresponsive and lethargic, since it can't run background processes and your currently active app very smoothly. My brother has a Galaxy S Duos, which has roughly the same specs as the Galaxy V. All I can say is that it's slow as hell.

Ibang iba ang responsiveness compared to an iPhone or high-end Android.

I'd suggest the Zenfone over the Galaxy V if those are the 2 that you're choosing from.

As a left-field choice, I would suggest a used Galaxy S3 Mini. Around 5k nalang for the good condition models. I know you're not the type to meetup with online sellers but it's really the best value option.

If you can't find zenfone4, then get the zenfone5. The 16gb has 2gb ram (verify through the phone though). should cost a wee bit over 5k (7k).

That's a physical store:

Nowadays, it's a must na 1gb ram at dual core man lang. Kundi iinit lang ulo mo sa bagal

I gave my wife the Zenphone 5. Intel processor. Check the specs & reviews at GSMARENA.

The Zenfone has good reviews nga at gsmarena.

[Stoner]

How about that Nokia X? Not sure of the performance, but it's quite a looker.

Moto G (if it comes here) is also an option.
