The only phones I'd consider from local brands eh yung Android One series, sure software support for 18 months ata or 2 years. About the Zenfones, may issue daw with app compatibility dahil sa CPU? Though sa specs sulit naman.

Apple is on a different league for me, iOS may not have all the features of Android pero parang perfect marriage ng hardware at software. Yun nga lang since iOS 7 dami na bugs, frequent bugfix updates pero no noticable improvements.

Still, Xperia for me. Hehe.
