Lapit ng sumurender zf2 ko.
Tagal kong hinintay ung note5 -pero nakakaasar kasi parang pinutol putol ng xiaomi ung specs- ung typec nasa s2, tapos walang sdcard at headphone jack ung 6x, tapos parang note4x ung likod ng note5!
Nakita ko zf5- di ko trip eh (saka mahal na for me).. kung naka typec sana tong maxprom1. Hihitayin ko to kahit july pa! Nakita ko ung honor9lite- maganda design pero liit ng screen saka di pang gaming.. oh well hintay hintay lang ulit.
