With yesterday’s list of octa-core smartphones under Php9K, a reader suggested that we make a compilation of affordable smartphones with 2GB of RAM since apart from processing power, memory also matters. That’s exactly what we did and below, you will find the phones that concentrated on good RAM without asking for a lot in return.
We categorized these smartphones as budget since they have 2GB of RAM yet they don’t go beyond the 11K mark. The common phones that sport the same memory usually start from 12K or even 13K and above. Handsets in this list are arranged from the most expensive down to the least expensive. Let’s get started!
