As for the price, the OnePlus 5T obviously has the advantage when it comes to price at $499 (~PHP25,364.67) for the 6GB + 64GB model and $559 (~PHP28,414.53) for the 8GB + 128GB model. The Samsung Galaxy Note8 charges a premium at Php49,990, but you get more and cooler features.
So if you want flagship specs for a lower price, the OnePlus 5T is the best option, but if you have the cash and care about the top-notch features, the Samsung Galaxy Note8 won’t disappoint.
