A large battery capacity is still one of the must-have features in a phone because running out of juice while you’re on the road is just unacceptable. So if you’re in a budget and don’t want to carry a charger and a power bank wherever you go, here are seven phones with large batteries under Php8K that you can buy right now.
Phones are arranged by price from highest to lowest.
The Thrill 530qx tops our list for having the most expensive price tag but in return you get a large 5.3-inch display, quad-core CPU, 12 megapixel camera, and 4,500mAh battery.
