Cherry Mobile One G1

one g1 specs philippines price

The Cherry Mobile One G1 is one of the most anticipated device from the well-known PH smartphone brand.  The 5-incher packs a decent punch in specs and has a decent built as a whole. The latter has pretty standard built in the camera department, though its pretty capable of delivering a decent performance overall. 2GB of RAM might be a downer to some, but honestly speaking, a 2GB RAM One G1 is actually worth the buy. It has 16GB of internal storage and microSD card expandability limit up to 32GB. So, if you’re looking to give someone a phone that can do the job and do it right, the One G1 might not be a bad choice.  The Cherry Mobile One G1 is available for Php 5,999 on any Cherry Mobile stores nationwide.

MyPhone my35 

my phone my35 news philippines

The my35 is MyPhones answer to the 2016’s challenges as they bring on their my-series from outta nowhere. The my 35 is a pretty bold take and is probably one of the most performance-wise MyPhone devices to date. It holds a MediaTek MT 6753 in its pocket, with a Mali T720 GPU in charge on the Graphics department. It has a pretty good 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and is microSD card expandable up to 64GB (not to shabby, right?). The main attraction for the my35 lies within its 13MP rear shooter that is, take note, a Samsung sensor. What more can you ask for? The latter offers a more heftier price than the One G1, but you’ll be paying for performance, so all is well. The MyPhone my35 is priced at Php 6,888 and is available at any MyPhone stalls and stores nationwide.
