Smartphones with built-in DTV you can buy in PH

On-the-go television has been around for quite a while now but most of them, especially when it comes to basic phone, only have analog tuners. That’s no different with the ones found on common TVs at home since the adaptation of the digital television broadcast in the country is still not in full power. But, smartphone manufacturers are already thinking ahead and want consumers to enjoy crisp DTV on their pockets even there are just a few channels to watch.

Here is a list of smartphones that you can buy in stores now that already have built-in DTV, specifically ISDB-T tuners.

  1. You forgot Knight Spectra also from Starmobile.

    It’s bloody expensive if you want it just for the DTV function though (~15k).

  2. and the tech birds go “cheap, cheap cheap”…

  3. Samsung J2 DTV with Philippine Standard ISDB 4G LTE dual sim. Best to use as pocket hotspot with digital tv, price is down to 5k +
