just curious, what do you guys consider to be the best midrange phone today in the under 20k price range? Zenfone 5?
If you want to get something in under 20k, try and find Mi 6, there’s a under 20k model of it. Best bang for the buck with 2nd to the latest Gen SoC.
I can recommend three: ZenFone 5, OPPO F7, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
Try to wait for Mi 8 SE imo, Snapdragon 710, and priced around $280 (Php 14,000~)
