miongb says:

LoLz says:
Hehehe napangiti naman ako sa presyo “for only Php30,990”. . .for only ha? Pwede bang tatlo dos nito? LoLz
geebie says:
“There’s option for 12 months zero interest but the price goes to Php35,990 with that option.”
Paano naging zero percent interest yan kung ang difference sa cash only is 5k? tsk tsk.
umi000 says:
Indeed – Yugatech shouldn’t be perpetuating these types of misleading marketing practices. That extra 5,000 amounts to an add-on rate of 1.34%, or an effective annual interest rate of 28.56%.
churvalang says:
We have a law preventing vendor to pass on the credit card charges sa mga buyer. Pero ‘tong mga greedy store owner iniba lang nila yung strategy.
for example:
real Price P35,000.00
using CC: P40,000.00
pero ang makikita mo sa store nila
Price: 40,000.00
Discounted price for “cash buyer” : P35,000.00
the government should do something about this.
Jason says:
The store owner is not being greedy. Unless HTC etc will subsidize the zero percent, the stores cannot just absorb some 12% (for the 12 month installments) of the retail price which will go to the bank. The retailers are probably just raking in at just some 5% profit in some instances.

Kung baket kasi umuuso ang non-removable battery
Ryan says:
all but the bat… pra kang nka Ferrari na 5 liters lang ang tank capacity. :)
Ron says:
I know, right?
But maybe HTC did some voodoo optimization magic to make this phone last a day at most.
DTech says:
Can’t wait for Xperia Z! Haha better one!
Ron says:
Pushing that much pixel would definitely be a battery hogger. I still see 1080p resolution on a mobile device unnecessary. Great specs though and I dig the color too.
Ben Astorga says:
its really nice but in a month there’s the rumored M7 in MWC.
Not in the same league with 5″ vs 4.7″ though, still..
johnonline says:
xperia z is way better and looks classier, more premium than this…tatak Sony pa…
Randi says:
“Only” php 30, 999? Plsdont say “only” sa 30k, dahil di naman lahat ng tao milyunaryo at namumurahan sa presyo na yun para lang sa isang phone.
Mahlditality says:
May panorama ba yan?
mm says:
hahaha of course, i think ur one of the id*** pipol who are amazd by the commercial of iphone haha, before iphone do it, almost all android phones out there do have panorama
irv says:
Kasing presyo nya ang iPhone 5. So, which one would you buy now?
noiphone says:
i will buy the flagship android phone if i have that money. I am choosing a phone because of its functionalities, not social status.
Mark says:
Does this phone have built in wireless charging similar to DNA, lumina 920 and nexus 4?.
