5 BUDGET PHONE SULIT PARIN NGAYON !

Product(s) reviewed / discussed (budget phones under 10k)

Unique points mentioned (key features + pros/cons + user experience)

1) Infinix Note 50

Main features praised

• AMOLED display with 144 Hz refresh rate
• 8 GB RAM
• 256 GB internal storage
• Good camera
• Mentions 30W wireless charging (noted as “supported”)
• “Very beautiful” / good overall design

Pros

• Strong value under ~PHP 8,000 during sale
• High-end-ish display and solid storage/RAM for the price

2) Poco M7 Pro 5G

Main features praised

• “One of the most perfect smartphones last year” under PHP 10k
• AMOLED display
• “Good performance for gaming”
• 5G
• Good camera

Comparison / current value

• Creator says Poco M7 Pro 5G (last year) was ~PHP 10k
• But Poco M8 Pro 5G is now just under PHP 20,000, meaning the price for the newer version is much higher.

Pros

• Great balance of display/performance/camera for budget during the earlier release window

Cons

• No direct “cons” listed for M7 Pro itself—main issue is newer Poco models cost more and/or provide worse value at the same budget.

3) Samsung Galaxy A17 5G

Main features praised

• Still “pretty good compared to many smartphones today”
• Long update support
• AMOLED display
• Overall specs are framed as good even versus more expensive phones

Cons

• Notch on top is the only downside mentioned

User experience angle

• Creator suggests owners should take care of the phone, implying it’s still a worthwhile current-use device.

4) Nubia Neo series (notably “Neutri 5G”; comparing Neo 35G vs Neo 55G)

(Subtitles appear to mix names: “Nubia Neutri 5G”, “Nubia Neo 35G”, “Nubia Neo 55G”. The key message is a value comparison within the Nubia Neo line.)

Main features praised

• Mention of a Nubia model previously around PHP 10k
• “High” RAM and storage compared to the newer version

Comparison

• Says the newer Nubia Neo 55G is more expensive, but storage is only 128 GB
• Claims the Neo 35G and Neo 55G have “almost identical” specs
• Key advice: if you have the older Nubia Neo version, keep it, because new ones cost more with slightly downgraded value/specs.

Pros

• Better value in older models (more RAM/storage for less money)

Cons

• Newer Neo 55G costs more without proportional upgrade (storage cited as lower)

---

5) Tecno Camon (Camon 44G mentioned; “Camon 54G” as the newer version)

Main features praised

• Tecno Camon 44G is said to be still very good today, potentially through next year
• “Almost the same specs” as the newer Tecno Camon 54G
• Difference highlighted: newer version has a bigger battery
• Older model still has:
  • AMOLED display
  • “High storage” and “high RAM”
  • “Very winning camera”
  • “Updated for several years” (long software support)

Pros

• Strong overall package for budget, with multi-year updates
• Good camera emphasis
• Likely good longevity vs typical budget phones

Cons

• No major downside mentioned; only that the newer 54G mainly improves battery

General conclusions / comparisons made across all phones

• The creator argues that in 2026, the budget for “good specs” has shifted upward: PHP 10k–15k now yields worse specs than before.
• Recurring theme: older budget models under ~PHP 8k–10k had better specs than what you can buy today under the same price.
• Therefore: if you already own one of these recommended models, take care of it, because buying a new phone now with similar specs is harder.

---

Ratings / numerical scores

• No formal star ratings or numerical scores.
• Price benchmarks repeatedly mentioned:
  • ~PHP 7,000–8,000 (previously “good specs”)
  • ~PHP 10,000–15,000 (2026 budget range described as worse value)
  • Specific sale/value claims:
    • Infinix Note 50: “less than PHP 8,000 during sale”
    • Poco M7 Pro 5G: “around PHP 10,000 last year”
    • Poco M8 Pro 5G: “just under PHP 20,000”
    • Nubia model “used to be around PHP 10,000”
    • New Nubia Neo 55G: “more expensive” and 128 GB storage
• Refresh rate cited: 144 Hz (Infinix Note 50)
• Charging cited: 30W wireless charging (Infinix Note 50)

---

Overall verdict / recommendation

Recommended (for current owners and buyers who can still find good-condition units or sale pricing): the creator recommends these five older budget-friendly models as some of the best options under PHP 10,000, mainly because their value/specs were better at the time, and newer phones at similar budgets are implied to be less competitive.
