    “Only” php 30, 999? Plsdont say “only” sa 30k, dahil di naman lahat ng tao milyunaryo at namumurahan sa presyo na yun para lang sa isang phone.

    its really nice but in a month there’s the rumored M7 in MWC.
    Not in the same league with 5″ vs 4.7″ though, still..

    Pushing that much pixel would definitely be a battery hogger. I still see 1080p resolution on a mobile device unnecessary. Great specs though and I dig the color too.

    Can’t wait for Xperia Z! Haha better one!

      I know, right?

      But maybe HTC did some voodoo optimization magic to make this phone last a day at most.

    “There’s option for 12 months zero interest but the price goes to Php35,990 with that option.”

    Paano naging zero percent interest yan kung ang difference sa cash only is 5k? tsk tsk.

      Indeed – Yugatech shouldn’t be perpetuating these types of misleading marketing practices. That extra 5,000 amounts to an add-on rate of 1.34%, or an effective annual interest rate of 28.56%.

      We have a law preventing vendor to pass on the credit card charges sa mga buyer. Pero ‘tong mga greedy store owner iniba lang nila yung strategy.

      for example:
      real Price P35,000.00
      using CC: P40,000.00

      pero ang makikita mo sa store nila
      Price: 40,000.00
      Discounted price for “cash buyer” : P35,000.00

      the government should do something about this.

    • Avatar for Jason Jason says:

      The store owner is not being greedy. Unless HTC etc will subsidize the zero percent, the stores cannot just absorb some 12% (for the 12 month installments) of the retail price which will go to the bank. The retailers are probably just raking in at just some 5% profit in some instances.
