Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

[Retz]

If unsure of buying local android phones, mag Lenovo na lang almost same price range lang and widely available ang parts unlike Acer. Other phone brands worth a try imo includes O+ (US brand) and Gionee (India). Ang dami na nila.

doubtful lang ako sa battery nyang THL.. baka di tumagal nang 1 day drained na yan..

I just buy a powerbank, mura lang naman. Sulit din.

But Lenovo is indeed a good alternative. mga 3-4 times ko nang na-dro-drop itong gamit ko okay na okay pa naman. Pero dapat talaga RAM is 1gb na. Medyo laggy 512mb kapag nagmamadali ka. hehehe

I think O+ is a local brand. I was in the US last year and never saw it anywhere. I also didn't see it in reviews there. They probably just registered their trademark there.

Lenovo has a few 4" or so units that have 2000mAh or better batteries -- one of the few things that don't get much attention. i haven't forgiven them for the damaged laptop i got last year so LQ muna kami :D

Yung hesitation ko sa local brands is 1.) durability and 2.) android updates. didn't know Cherry Mobile updated their tablets to 4.2

Lots of local brands popping up...kaya tuloy MyPhone and Cherry Mobile are looking like premium brands

i think O2 yung nirerefer mo not O+, used to have O2 mini pda before, yan yung katumbas ng samsung note dati hehe

if pricing is right for moto g at 8-9k then this beats lenovo, cherry, star, myphone. better wait for this phone kaysa bili ng local brands

htc got carried away, their pricing became expensive for their medium ranged phones, wala na silang value for money kaya they lost market share and not everybody can afford htc one

Mahal pa nga sa soolit yung moto g, ka-level pa nang xperia sp. Pero kung 8-9K, magdala ka na lang nang powerbank ay solve na. Basta hindi din mahilig mag-video at maglaro nang graphic extensive games kasi maliit nga memory.

What I don't understand with these companies is that they don't want to try multi-SIM in their high-end products as if dual sim is just for plebeians.

HTC One dual came close, if not for the amazingly inadequate camera (4mp LOL).

Sony, I hope they'd come out with Z1s dual sim. Kahit sa Z Ultra sana. my wife likes the ultra mainly because of her job.

*Badkuk, why not just buy any Sony? Even the "outdated" Z is pretty swell.

Maganda sana ang LG G2, if only it's a dual Sim.

There's battery and radiation issue. Mostly they're concerned with passing radiation level ratings of certain countries.

I posted that same question before. It seems that the rationale is that if you can buy a high-end phone, you can afford 2 phones naman. hehe

But I think dual sim phones that used to be available to low-end phones only are already present on mid range phones and maybe in the next 2 years they'll find their ways on high-end phones na din. Demand will surely dictate these and kung dito lang sa atin marami na multi-sim users then it won't take long indeed.

Problem with the G2 is the meager memory but the premium one has removable back and expandable memory. The battery is of lower capacity though so a powerbank is a must.

hindi ko pa nakita yan THL brand. It's cheap na.... sa Lenovo you get the same specs pero 8K na ung A706. ung Cloudfone din pala I think local phone din.

Maganda Cloudfone, ampanget lang ng UI. Mom ko Cloudfone and secondary phone nia, 3 araw walang charge charge. naka mobile date pa yun.
