If you think that smartphones couldn’t get any cheaper now, ZTE is breaking the record for having the highest-specced smartphone for less than $100 or under the Php5k range.

This is the ZTE Zmax Pro, it’s the successor to the Zmax 2 from last year with modest upgrades. Starting with the 6-inch 1080p display and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 chipset paired with 2GB of RAM. Internal storage is relatively spacious at 32GB with expansion support via a microSD card. There’s USB Type-C port, which is ahead of its competition, and a fingerprint scanner on its back. A sizeable 3400mAh battery and Android 6.0 Marshmallow runs the show.

Dapat hindi nila tinipid yung quality ng baterya, storage at memory chips. Yung OS dapat Android 6.0.1 at least.

mukhang hindi yan sub 5k kasi may 12% VAT sa pilipinas, ayon sa aking mababaw ba pananaliksik, 1$:60php ang conversion rate (tulad ng asus zenpad 32GB na ~200$ sa u.s., ~12k sa pilipinas)
