7 Budget Smartphones with Android 6.0 Marshmallow

While most of us give great importance to the processing power, RAM, storage, and camera of an Android phone, some want the latest version in the operating system department. And since most Marshmallow devices today are seen on midrange-flagship handsets, we’ve compiled seven affordable smartphones that carry Android 6.0 OS.

    • Cherry Mobile Android One G1
      P5999


    • CM One G1 is 3,999 na lang daw nabasa ko somewhere. The bang for the buck gets even better.


  1. Cherry Mobile Android G1 is way better than all the phones in the list..

    It has stock android truly bang-for-the-buck phone and will be the only phone in the list that will have a guaranteed update up to Android N


    • Meron pa po ba nun sa mga CM stores? Kasi matagal na raw walang delivery sa isang CMstore sa Subic. Shame kung pinu pull out ang G1 sa CM stores…


    • CM One G1 na. Qualcomm SD 410 pa. Overhyped naman yang mga octacore ng Mediatek eh


  2. Ay wow, san napunta Android One phones? Yang mga listahan, Marshmallow ngayon pero kamusta future updates lalo na’t parating na ang Android N. Malamang sa malamang #StuckOS na naman ang mga yan. Isa pa, sabi sa post eh 6k below ang nakafeature pero 5,999 naman ang CM One G1 which is pinakamahal sa local Android One phones so far.


  3. Going through the list, I can’t help but think that the title should be changed to “7 Budget Smartphones with Android 6.0 Marshmallow Now (and Forever)” bwahahahahahahaha


    • Ang benta nito hahaha. Funny and Sad but true. Google kasi di maayos-ayos update plans nila for Android phones eh.
