You forgot Flare S7 Plus from Cherry Mobile. Before the price cut on old Oppo models and Realme 3’s entry, it was the cheapest phone with a Helio P60 chipset.
Actually it’s kinda surprising you missed that, considering this is a tech blog covering the Philippine market.
Realme 3 all the way!
Realme 3 for the win, aside from being the cheapest helio p60 phone, it is the most recent release, march 2019.
