Di ba namamahalan ka sa oppo? Tapos ngayon mahal pa rin ang monster specs for 17k? Ang tao talaga walang satisfaction sa lahat ng bagay.

Dude 17k. Kahit 2016 na mahal pa rin ang production ng li-ion battery dahil wala pang bagong technology na papalit doon. Kahit naman 3000mah lang tatagal yan ng 1.5 days dahil full hd lang. Di rin yan naka snapdragon 820 kaya di power hog ang soc.

I’ll stick with Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro for 12,000 sa gray market. Almost same specs lang. Thanks Vivo Ph for ruining our expectations for the next bang-for-the-buck brand sa Pinas.
