We’ve previously given you a list of octa-core smartphones that start at Php13K. After only a few months we now see the same processors but this time at way more affordable price points. Today we give you six octa-core smartphones that are locally priced below Php9K.
Update: We’ve included the Qube Colonia with 2GB RAM to the list.
Having eight cores on your processor doesn’t directly equate to superior power, but it definitely helps. So for those spec-driven users out there, feast your eyes on some of the cheapest octa-cores of today! Let’s get started with the list.
