realme Pad mini
The realme Pad mini is a good follow-up to the realme Pad. It feels premium, portable, has 4G LTE connectivity, and a big battery. The price, however, is a bit tricky. The 3GB + 32GB LTE variant is at PHP 9,990, while the 4GB + 64GB 4G LTE is at PHP 11,990. A WiFi-only model will be available soon.
realme GT 2 Pro
To be honest, I haven’t encountered a realme device that really wowed me, which is understandable considering the company’s offerings were mostly centered on providing competitively priced mid-rangers. Well, until now. The realme GT2 Pro became that Android that I wanted to have. It looks great, has outstanding performance, great cameras with micro, and a big battery.
vivo Y73
The vivo Y73 is still a reliable daily driver with its large display, trendy design and good cameras. If you’re a vivo fan, then this device would be able to offer you a decent Android experience without breaking the bank. As long as you’re not into heavy games, the Y73 definitely deserves your consideration.
Infinix ZERO 5G
Priced at PHP 11,990, the Infinix ZERO 5G is definitely a winner in my books with a couple of compromises, which let’s be honest, at this price point is something you can live with. It delivers outstanding performance and is a reliable daily driver that you can use throughout the day.
POCO F4 GT
The POCO smartphone series has always been a game-changer and the POCO F4 GT brings that up a notch with its flagship-level hardware but at a mid-range price point. This is the most affordable gaming smartphone running on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and with the 12GB of onboard RAM (+3GB Memory Extension), it’s hard to ignore what this phone is capable of and put all other flagship phones that are already in the market on notice.
Onexplayer Mini
If you really want a handheld console for gaming on the go with the library that Windows has then go for it. It’s not cheap at PHP 49,995 but the versatility can be a pro for you. It comes with a great screen and premium hardware so there are no compromises on that end.
Machenike F117-7
To wrap it all up, at the price of PHP 55,990, it does pretty well considering the number of laptops we’ve tested at this price range. Regarding the earlier bump we encountered, that could be a one-off thing since it didn’t happen more than once. These things aside, overall the laptop is capable of getting day-to-day tasks done along with some mid-level gaming. Should you consider getting one of these, wait for the next double-digit sale on Shopee or Lazada for further discounts.
