When Android phones first came out in the country, their price range were in the level of the iPhone. The HTC Magic was the first one to hit the country back in July 2009 and was was selling for about Php30k (Php27k on Plan 500 with Smart).
Now, there are a lot of Android smartphones that are more capable than the HTC Magic and selling for under Php10,000.
Here’s our quick round-up of handsets you can get for Php10k or less and have your Android fix (prices may vary from store to store).
Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 – Php10,000
LG Optimus One P500 – Php9,900
Sony Ericsson X10 Mini – Php9,000
Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 – Php8,700
Sony Ericsson X8 – Php8,100
Cherry Mobile Nova – Php8,000
LG P350 Optimus Me – Php7,900
Samsung Galaxy 5 i5503 – Php7,800
Huawei Ideos U8150 – Php7,000
Cherry Mobile Cosmo – Php6,900
As new Android handsets are introduced, more of these smartphones will become more affordable. By this month next year, we should be seeing a lot of these Android phones running 1GHz processor and will be under Php10k.

Wow amazing Android handsets are now available at such a low cost which unbelievable and the highest range will go upto 10k only.
wow my optimus one is now just 9900 after starting at 13k just last november. how quickly technology depreciates.
Nice! Anong version ng android yung sa Galaxy fit?
for battery problems please install advance task killer set it to insane+screen off
you forgot Torque. They have 2 android phones in this price range. Dual-sim pa.
The title of the post is incorrect. It should be ‘MOST AFFORDABLE’ NOT ‘CHEAPEST’. Not because it is not above 20k means its cheap. The size of these phones are perfect for Asians who have smaller hands. It is pocketable but useful and does not catch too much attention. Compare with 20k and up phones with 4″ screens. These phones just do the job. Around 95% of what the ridiculous 20k and up phones that is being bought only to brag.
Correct, dami kasi gumagamit ng cp for bragging purposes only at wala pang load. They are ignoramous, they buy gadgets that they dont know how to use properly but for bragging only. poor Pinoys kaya di tayo umaasenso
the problem is there are bloggers who promote those high-end phones and gadgets as if it is the only tool that you need. It is because they get some freebies and support from the sellers. It is all about advertising. The useful, value for money products are the ones that are in the lower end of the scale, or those that were popular 6 months ago.
Hihintayin ko na lang na dadami pa ang mga Android handsets na ‘yan para bumaba pa ang price to P3,000.
