Watch: “Dead” PH Phone Brands: What Happened?

All Filipinos are pretty much in the know when it comes to consumer technology, smartphone to be exact.  I mean who, in this age, is not driven by social media and streaming platforms? With that in mind, it isn’t surprising to see lots of Pinoy smartphone brands emerging over the years.

The question is: Where are they? Are they all DEAD?

    • O+ is an american brand alam ko. Not locally branded


    • Halatang di nag babasa..Dead Philippine Phone..tapos isasama mo 0+..nyahahaha


  1. they’re not really made in PH anyway. not even designed in PH…


    • it was mentioned that those phones were made in china and its just for these companies to put their brand to it thus that is why there were similarities with other brands.


  2. its all because they dont value design. all the phones looks cheap.


  3. Cherry Mobile is still alive, compared to O+, myphone, torque. Although naghihingalo na din ang cherry mobile, how can they compete with Huawei/Honor, Xiaomi/Redmi, Vivo/Oppo/Realme/OnePlus?


  4. yugatech ?halata masyado na basher ka ng cherry mobile no ? buhay na buhay ang cherry mobile .may 6000mah na battery nga ng cp nila eh ?


  5. I don’t want to be mean or anything but this girl is just unbearable to watch. Poor diction, and bad engagement with the supposed audience. Interesting topic but closed as soon as I heard her voice. No offense really and nothing personal.


    • Agree, dapat nag Filipino na lang siya with subtitles instead of english since Filipino naman yung target audience.

  6. Wow. The write up in this article should really have had more proofreading and editing. That was difficult to read.


  7. “Who doesn’t in this age is not…” seriously, this phrase alone is unbearable. Who’s the editor for this? Also, I don’t ALL Filipinos are in the know, especially when it comes to smartphones. In this economy?! That sort of generalization is really elitist. As I said before, this definitely could have been worded better.
