Well, Let’s compare it with the flagship phones of other local brands:
Star mobile Diamond x1 = 13,990
Myphone Iceberg mini = 12,888
Cherry Mobile OHD2X = 12,399
I know that specs wise, its foolish to compare, kase these phones belong to an older generation of mediatek precossors.. pero the fact that SM-Dx1 is rocking a new processor and is just 1k-1.5k more expensive than the others…You have to give Starmobile credit for that..
well, not everyone has 14k.. so I understand why you would call it expensive.
My only gripe is, sana instead of companies saying that they’re phones have “18 mp cameras”, maging totoo na lang sila and sabihin nila “it has a 13 mp camera but has an interpolation software that will allow you to take digitally enhanced photos upto 18 mp”
@zhel lol kung ikaw anang nasa lagay nila paniguradong “18 mp cameras” pa rin ang ilalagay mo kasi ung nilalagay mong statement eh bukod sa mahaba eh hindi maiintindihan ng mga tao.di naman lahat ng tao eh tech geek.
