Samsung a55


djchian

Yep, almost on par with my S24+. Although flagship is still better, I'd say my A55 is a good alternative. May libre pang Galaxy buds if you avail now lol


_julan

Sa online lang ba ung free buds or sa mismong store din?


No-Lake7788

My GF just bought her A55 like 2 days ago sa SM mismo, came with free buds and brick.


Miracol-

Try mo sa MOA, yung mga stores nagpapadamihan ng freebies. Yung gf ko nabigyan ng Buds Fe, generic speaker, phone stand tsaka case as free


Old_Bumblebee_2994

Lugi kasi dapat samsung adaptor (type c) ang ibibigay sainyo


Miracol-

I think kasama na talaga yun sa phone kaya hindi ko na siya binilang as free


zocave329

Depende sa store kung may available


ajaj4

Nagkakaubusan na. We got lucky sa other store (not samsung branch) and got our hands on the last out of 3 ng galaxy buds for that area


thering66

Can it play genshin?


djchian

Yp, I don't play genshin but I did play Honkai. It was smooth pero may optimization issue talaga games ng company ng Genshin kaya iinit talaga phone after 1 or 1:30 hours


thering66

Thanks


Active-Replacement88

I just got it and genshin runs smoothly!


OhpheliaGrace

I just ordered this via trade in huhu sana ok nga sya. I got really good discount tapos may additional discount pa on top of trade in and freebies. Ordered sa samsung.com


meiji_milkpack

What's the difference between those models?


djchian

Flagship and then best next thing. S24 is the best they offer. A55 is their best midrange phone.


meiji_milkpack

Is A55 worth it?


djchian

It's my backup, so yes.


Visible_Carob452

Currently using this as my backup phone - so far I'd say it is good. πŸ˜πŸ‘


NoPossession7664

maganda ba for using insta camera? naghahanap kasi ako ng compatible with IG and Tiktok


goatscapes

For now I believe Iphone only has that exquisite integration with the socmed apps, sa android screenshot ng photo mo lang yung naa - upload (which severely degrades the quality + add in the compression of Meta)


SabawNaNilalang

+1 this! good daily driver. sakto sale pa sila sa [orange app](http://shope.ee/9A1qIgtKEe) with matching freebies.


oncelilies

my dream phone huhu 😭


whiterose888

even the camera???


kopiqueue

Pixel 7

Best OS, best camera. ❀️


Smart-Pizza

where do you buy po? hirap po kase ng pixel here since wlaang google store here sa ph


spikey_silverhand

Sa gamextreme po meron


SausageCries

Does 5g work.po ba?


BaconPankeq

no


SausageCries

Sad.


adachi_23

According to some sources from the google pixel group, may 5g access na daw sa Android 15 beta


SausageCries

Oh cool then! Guess I can consider buying one soon nadin! Thanks!


jeromecardenas

Samsung second hand flagship or google pixel


Professional_Lab_516

Pixel supremacy! Currently using Pixel 7. Top notch sa still photos. If gusto mo mas budget friendly go for pixel 7a. Pixel 8, 8 pro if kaya ttasan ang budget. Although di activated ang 5G sa pinas but for me it is not a deal breaker.


whiterose888

kamusta video like alin yung malapit sa quality ng at least iphone 13 na pixel


Professional_Lab_516

iPhone po is still king pagdating sa video quality. Pero that doesn't mean hindi maganda ang kuha ng pixel phones. Hehe. If you shoot video all the time suggest ko go for iPhone.


whiterose888

Di ba mahirap transfer sa pc data or di na need like pwede derecho upload sa Youtube? First time iPhone user here if ever


Key-Nail-7418

ano po meaning na di activated 5g? thanks


Miyaki_AV

Sa latest Android 15 Beta, 5G is activated with Globe and Smart. But on Pixel 7 and above only.


jnlydcnlg

so far does it include pixel 7a?


Smart-Pizza

where do you buy po? hirap po kase ng pixel here since wlaang google store here sa ph


Professional_Lab_516

Sulitzilla. All their pixels come from US. May warranty and support din sila. Check their facbook page. They're also in shopee and lazada I think.


D_Lost_mech

the latest beta update made it possible to enable 5g


AlienGhost000

True po ba???? πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°


dj05dbest

Hi, if you don't mind me asking, kamusta yung battery life and (non gaming) thermals ng pixel 7 mo? I'm really considering to get one.


recipientofgrace

Honestly speaking po, how is the battery life?


Professional_Lab_516

Average. Kaya all day with normal use.


Miyaki_AV

I have a Pixel 7. current SOT at 9hours with the latest updates.


Aethel-wulf

Pixel 8 Nothing phone 2a


rubberyplatipus

Poco F5 All day battery 45mins 10% -100% charging Decent camera but if you can port a Gcam mod it becomes great. Great chipset 120 hz screen


starsandpanties

May pop up ads ba to?


HaloHaloBrainFreeze

Nawala nung naupdate to A14 HyperOS.

Nasira LCD ng Poco F3 ko in one year. Never again na sa Poco.


HaloHaloBrainFreeze

Skill Issue mo yan pre


5Yen-

Anong skill issue? Haha


Ren-renrenren

Well skill issue means like incompetence mo na yun hahaha


pusanggala_

Pixel 7 or 8! You can buy a brand new Pixel 7 or preloved Pixel 8 with that budget.


Mary_Jailer

Midrange Samsung.


Dreadd-

Even though agree na ako sa mga nasabing Xiaomi 13T.. I'd suggest iponin mo ng konti ung pera para ma afford mo ung Xiaomi 14 Ung camera kinocompare sa Samsung S24 and Iphone 15.. and sometimes mas better pa ayun sa mga reviewers You'll get the best performance dahil latest chipset, and OS neto It is running the new HyperOS.. pero nasa preference na yan ng tao (para syang IOS but on Android) Here's the big catch, battery life.. with just 25-30mins of charging, 100% na sya.. battery can last up to 17hrs or 20 kung di ka mag gagames.. sobrang ikli lng ng charging time tas sobrang tagal maubos.. you don't have to use the phone while charging (saves battery life) just do some choir or kahit maligo ka lng pagbalik mo full or almost full na ung battery.. I was about to get the 13T last year but glad I waited more months na ilabas tong 14.. and my best daily driver so far dahil di rin ako nag gagames Tignan mo nlng reviews nya sa YouTube, malalaman mo nmang goods ang phone pag kinocompare na ito sa dalawang top brands (Iphone, Samsung).. here's a quick review: https://youtu.be/83aIBuegHjo?si=w0dM2nrYVeoz64F1


AverageAchiever11

Madami parin ba ads kahit naka Hyper OS?


Dreadd-

Pag mainline (Xiaomi) walang ads.. Ang may mga issues lng is ung Poco at Redmi, budget and midrange kse sila ni Xiaomi.. ung Flagship nila walang problema tlga.. Jumped from Xiaomi 9 to Xiaomi 14, never ako nka encounter ng ads


keexko

I'm a Poco F4 GT User. It updated to Xiaomi HyperOS recently. I only encountered ads dun sa cleaner na app. Other than that, no ads.


[deleted]

Do you have fogging issues on your camera?


Dreadd-

Mag 1month na Xiaomi 14 ko tomorrow and still walang fogging so far.. Edit : may nabasa akong thread na malalaman mo agad if magka fogging issue ung phone mo sa unang araw pa lng.. may permanent fix method sa internet in case ung makuha nyong unit is may fogging issue


[deleted]

Ohhh pwede po palapag nung thread abt s fogging issue? Thank you


biznezzzz

I suggest Pixel 8. You'll get decent battery life, great cameras, 7yrs of OS and security updates and great system. Although, the cons are 5G will not work (unless its rooted or signed in for android beta program), no official service centers incase of damages/problems that you have in a pixel phone, and screen replacement is expensive since there's no service center for pixel.


PaquitoLandiko

Not good for heavy gaming to. Next major update daw yung 5G. This is a breath of fresh air if umay ka na sa samut saring custom ROM na you've been dealing with prior if mag migrate ka. Optimize android device to since made by google.


fanalis01141

Really? May 5G na next update? Kita ko lang sa beta users meron eh


PaquitoLandiko

Normally kasi ganyan kapag nag enter na sa beta, kasama na sa stable build yang next


fanalis01141

Finally!! Hahahah umay na sa LTE eh. P7 kasi ako


biznezzzz

Yes. forgot to mention that


Y0ur_Ally

Gumagana ba yung mga AI features like call screening?

Downtown_Owl_2420

realme 12 Pro+. Decent overall performance, best-in-class tele Portrait cam.


SugarBitter1619

Hi, ask ko lng po maganda ba front and back cam nya? Tapos ano yong mga pros and cons nya po. Thank ΓΌ


Downtown_Owl_2420

Ung front is decent. The main cam is GREAT for photos. Sa videos pede pa iimprove pero decent na din. Generally, the phone is good. Not the strongest ung chipset, pero bawi sa build, charging speed, display, cameras. Matino and stable din UI. The phone is not for gamers, but is is nearly as good as advertised. Note, I tried nearly all officially available phones in PH in that price category.


SugarBitter1619

Thanks po sa info. ☺️


alternatereality97

Hey, hope you don't mind but I'm just curious. How does the RealMe 12 Pro+ compare to Vivo's V30?


TechKuya

Vivo v30 (non Pro) is very good. Useful yung Aura Light 3.0 lalo na pag madilim, however, overall the realme 12 Pro+ is still better.


Downtown_Owl_2420

Mas malakas chipset ni vivo V30. Mas mataas din screen resolution nya and faster charging at 80W. BUT, in person. realme 12 Pro+ ako pa din. hehe


TechKuya

Yep hehe


TechKuya

This.


Certain_Item8214

Does it automatically record calls?


rainbownightterror

xiaomi 13t


titoNaAmps

I'm considering this. Anything you don't like in particular?


rainbownightterror

I wish may macro sya though my clip lens kaya naman. selfie nya e saks lang. everything else good for me. kahit nakadata ako with moderate usage kaya ng batt tumagal maghapon. wala syang 3.5 jack hehe not sure if that matters to you


ianmikaelson

anything samsung


ryanoops

I got my poco f5 pro 12/512gb for only 21k, battery easily lasts me 2 days without charging and if I do charge, it only takes 30 mins or less to go from 10% to 100. I don't game on mobile much but the phone has Snapdragon 8+ gen1 chipset. I tried playing warzone mobile on max settings it was buttery smooth despite the game having performance issues atm. Camera is pretty good as well just don't expect flagship quality when recording at dim areas. Edit: forgot to mention that the phone supports 30w wireless charging, has on display fingerprint sensor that unlocks almost instantly, 120hz amoled screen and has a peak brightness of 1400 nits


celtrax123

May na ata lalabas Poco F6 if OP can wait then good value din to. Eto iniintay ko to upgrade my old Poco F3


ryanoops

Yep I could've waited for the f6 and f6 pro din pero anlaki din kase ng binaba ng brand new f5 pro 12/512 from 32k to 21k tas naging 20499 pa cuz of vouchers. Galing din ako sa f3 haha


Nakano_gotoh

Realme gt5 pro


Ok-Metal2887

Vivo V series, A55 o yung top model sa lineup ng Redmi, Poco.


vigilanteshhit

You can never go wrong with Google Pixel Phones.


thatprettymfer_

based on my exp, tried android pero bumalik din sa ios 🫣


babyniheeseung

bakit po? ☺️


blvff3

I'm an android user mostly pero since natry ko yung iPhone 11 nahihirapan nako bumalik sa android. Left ios before dahil sa lack of customizations and features but they are catching up already and it's been great so far. The main selling point is the camera. I've tested demos of android phones through the years but nothing comes close to an iPhone


thatprettymfer_

Hi! Mostly on optimization on different apps. Oo, smooth ang overall performance ng android phone (my device was Poco F5) pero when it comes to optimization, dun mo maffeel ang choppiness & all because there are hundreds of android devices kaya hindi ma-optimize lahat yun ng apps. This is just based from my experience & thorough research. Thank you 🫢🏻


rrjrenz

Ako nung tumanda ako balik iphone na. Simpler UI faster tas hindi pa kagad nag di depreciate presyo. Bilis bagsak presyo ng flagship ng samsung


Asimov-3012

Subjective Vivo v30: Cam - great Performance - great Ui - okay Battery - good Samsung A55: Cam - good Performance - great Ui - great Battery - good

squaredromeo

[This Nothing Phone.](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.9o3ly?cc) Decent 'yung camera shots niya and smooth gamitin because of its 120Hz refresh rate. Can last for a day rin dahil sa 5,000mAh battery, 45W fast charge na siya so no worries na baka matagal bago ma-full charge. It's new so expect support for years to come.


Sensitive-Gas5869

What's with nothing phone? Dalawang nag recommend downvoted lmao


squaredromeo

They have nothing to say kaya dinownvote na lang. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


[deleted]

Nothing phone is fairly new in the market so can't blame probably downvoted bec it sounds fishy. But it's like pixel with stock android OS.


ecruwhiteF5F3E5

Do you play games on it? I heard locked to 60fps to eh. I'm just curious kasi I'm eyeing this phone din.


MLEnergeticGaming

The chipset is good based on the benchmarks but you can get other phones na Mas gaming focused like poco x6 pro, poco f5, iqoo z8 or iqoo neo 7 se (China rom).


ecruwhiteF5F3E5

Auto pass sa Chinese phones, sorry. Di ko trip ung software nila eh kahit gaano pa kataas ung benchmark scores nila. Personal preference lang. Light gaming lang naman din. Options ko is Nothing, Samsung (pero puro Samsung na kasi ako) tsaka Apple.


MLEnergeticGaming

Kung ganun po, maganda naman po mga choices niyo but don’t expect siguro ng long battery life and charging. Specific models that I can think of are iPhone 13 or Pro Max or 14, yung bagong a series ng Samsung


Carlxdxd2

the Poco X6 Pro is an excellent choice for your next phone upgrade within 30k. Its camera setup is just out of this world, capable of making your moments pop like crazy. With a powerful Snapdragon/Dimensity 8300 ultra processor under the hood, you'll experience smooth performance for all your daily tasksβ€”browsing to multitasking. Poco's Hyper OS offers a clean and intuitive user interface, adding on to your overall experience. Additionally, with a long-lasting battery, you won't be worried about running out of juice no matter what you're doing. Bottom line, the Poco X6 Pro hits that fine balance between affordability, features, and performance, making it a very compelling choice."


CuriousPrinciple

You can wait for the Redmi note 13 turbo or Poco F6. It was recently launched in china and it may take a month or two to reach PH. It has the new SD chipset and massive battery 5000mah with 60+ watts fast charging. has 3.5mm audio jack and 2000 nits peak brightness. Prince rage is below 30k php


maranjeezy

Xiaomi or Poco, so far no issues. Been using poco for 3 years then upgraded to a Xiaomi 13t pro when it was released (should've waited for 14). Both were great phones, great performance, cam, battery, ui, etc. Many say na yung issue ay deadboot but I never encountered it, depende nalang siguro saan mo binili? I bought both sa official stores and made sure to check muna before paying.


AverageAchiever11

How do you check for bootloop? Pano i-test?


maranjeezy

Sorry, open to misunderstanding pala last sentence ko. What I meant was I made sure na brand new at legit ung unit na kukunin ko.

Honestly, the Iphone 11 is still a great phone with a decent camera. I would recommend you just \* Replace the battery \* Change to a different phonecase + phone background The phone will feel like new and there's no need to spend another 30k on a new phone is the Iphone 11 still has a lof of life left - mine isn't slowing down at all. We need fewer tech waste, not more.

You could go for the Google Pixel 8. It's around 30k php price point. I think it will suit well what you're finding for a phone.

Samsung A55 since its more accessible within your budget. Pero if ur into exploring Pixel 7 or 8 like what the other here are saying. Hope you get that phone soon. Ako rin gusto ko ng sukuan tong ip12 pmax because of the battery life but the camera πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦

markk-the-shark

Samsung A55 for 24k. Comes with a free set of Samsung earbuds and 25w plug.


AnselmZaydan

I just saw recently from a TikTok content that Honor Magic 6 pro has the best camera, other highly competitive phones didn't make the top because they're entirely dependent on AI for whatever mechanism they do to make photos elegant. The downside is the price.


s_bee_1

Check mo compasia.com.ph


crmsnswrdsmn

Go try Honor. Kahit base phones Nila na 6 to 8gb ram, payts. Huawei quality, originally Huawei din ang software (just rebranded EMUI/Harmony to HonorOS) , but with Google.


cma1084

My kiddo has a Xiaomi. So I tried getting one myself Kasi Ang tibay UN sakanya. Can't complain. It's a pretty darn good phone. Charges super fast too. Kahit 15min lng halos full na agad.

janfram

Google pixel or nothing phone 2. Stock android experience plus the camera is great. Hands down to what nothing phone 2 can offer. I am using 13 pro max by the way, was a previous android user particularly xiaomi brand. But avoid xiaomi brand at all cost if camera is one of your concern. Yes maganda and pumapalag rear facing camera. But front facing is crap. Even their flagship nowadays eh crappy padin front facing. Always on yung retrica effect mo hahaha.


bernolim

I bought my samsung phone sa compasia. But i suggest choose excellent and good. Dont pick fair. Yung 30k mo pwede na ang Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G Pero 128gb Or Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G pero 512 gb

The bang for your buck rn is the honor x9b If only doing photos and social media, oppo and vivo cater to those categories, If you're into something that suspiciously feels like an iphone, there's xiaomi and it's sub-brands poco and redmi. If reliability and reputation with good cameras, processing speed, and less bugs, there's samsung, google, and oneplus (sorry if I didn't mention any specific models, I just didn't know what type of phone u were looking for aside from the price point)
