Notable in this roster would be the mixture of low-end smartphones, usually released a number of years back, and feature phones, which may provide nostalgia for previous generations who experienced small screens and built-in keypads. Despite having lower battery capacities on paper, feature phones have permeated into popular consciousness as longer-lasting than smartphones, if only because the latter could actually work on more tasks.

While technically outdated when compared to the technological pace of today’s smartphones 14, these could nonetheless perform the more fundamental functions phones are usually expected of, such as calls and messages. If the perquisites of newer phones are not the most influential in your decision, any of these could be your next choice.

Hopefully, this would be of help in your search. On the other hand, if you happen to improve your budget to seek for phones on the higher end, the full list of smartphones released in the Philippines in 2022 can be accessed here 24.

Please note: The phones listed, while officially released in the Philippines, did not necessarily have to be launched during this year. Rather, the phones are currently priced in the Filipino market. In addition, the phones were organized according to their posted price (from top to bottom).
