Rumors say no buttons? Interesting. The back looks like it could finally be aluminum. Or frosted glass? I hope it's aluminum to save on weight.

Parang glass sandwich pa din siya judging from tons of leaked posters and pictures. Maybe they finally found a way to fix the screen burning issue if they'll be using on-screen buttons.

Maganda sana frosted glass pero madulas sobra 😓

I hope and think mas mababa kaysa Samsung and LG, and mas madaming software update just like my Zenfone 3 ZE520KL.

I can remember ASUS mobo, then gaming laptop, wifi route

Ok sana specs on paper, kaso yung sample shots di ko gusto white balance ng pictures, kahit f1.7 parang madilim. Siguro kasi naka Auto lang.

Ang sabi nung launch di daw lalagpas ng 20K, pero ngayon less than 25K na expected price nila. 🤔

Dami freebies though! Pero kung ganun mag Huawei P9 na lang yata ako. Flagship grade hardware naman yun.

Kung di masyado mahilig sa graphic intensive games, ok na din Snapdragon 625, tagal siguro ng battery life kung call/text/light internet browsing lang.

You also have the option of just downgrading your plan and maximizing the rebates.

I came from plan 2500, then after my contract, went down to plan 499 (3GB data). I needed more data so upgraded again to 799 (6GB data). When I ran the numbers, it's cheaper to just get a lower plan and buy a phone in cash.

Get the GR5 2017/Honor 6x, easily one of the best phones at 10K-15K range.

Same, naka 499 na lang din ako (with 3GB data) then purchase the phone without contract. That way mas matipid tska mas maraming choices.

Globe has limited phone selection, yung Xperia Z5 na Smart-locked never nabigyan ng update. SMH

BTW, instead of any second-tier brand, I think the best value secondhand phone is the Note 5. 14-15k nalang value niya ngayon but it's even better than the 25k iPhone 6S+.

Noob question.

If you have your network locked phone unlocked sa suking shops in greenhills / cellphone techy stalls.

May mabubura ba sa contents ng phone ko?

Yes iphone. Bakit sayang?

Naka lock kasi sa Smart, so I can use it for other network in case I needed to.
