Marc says:

ArlyJ says:
Why everything have same design.
Marcvillanueva says:
What is the best phone sir?
dolan says:
All of these phones doesn’t have gyro? It’s important for using google maps.
Hrmny says:
Is samsung a20 worth the price? Is it good for capturing photos?
Tj says:
Sir what is the best gaming phone for the said phones? What features do I need to consider?
Raymer says:
Im looking for a sub 10k phone that has a fast loading camera. Can quickly take clear pictures in succession. And even if my hand is moving a bit and the subject is also moving, shots are still clear. Can you suggest a unit for me to look into?
xyzgon says:
The only thing you need to consider for a “gaming phone” is definitely the graphics processing unit aka GPU. Then camera, battery, display etc are the secondary concerns you should prioritize after the gpu. The Redmi Note 7 might be your first candidate in this under 10k list.
Hope Navarro says:
Hi Sir Vaughn! Do you think that the Lenovo Z6 Lite is a good chooce for its price. Well I know that for P8.7k, it has SD710 and 4GB ram, but do you think that the Lenovo Z6 Lite is worth the buy despite of its camera reviews that it sucks big time?
Vaughn Chua says:
The Z6 Lite is worth it given that it’s only priced below PHP 10K if it arrives in the Philippines. The performance is great in this price segment so if this is more of your preference rather the camera quality, go for it.
Kix says:
Sir Vaughn,
Did you forget about Vivo Y91 and Vivo Y91C?
Also, the battery capacity of Galaxy M10 is mistyped as “3,4000 mAh”
Vaughn Chua says:
Hi Kix! No I didn’t include VIVO Y91 because it was available in the Philippines last November pa :) I’ll note the Y91C though since i missed including that!
Also, thanks for spotting it! I’ve already corrected the article!
