Poll: What’s your smartphone budget like?

a to c

C! , thats all i can

Any price range, as long as its cost effective and does what it should do as a smart phone for a fair price.

“I’m sure everyone wants uber-cheap smarpthones but we know that’s not gonna happen”.

Why would it be so impossible to happen? Has the industry reached a dead end? Remember when a basic LCD TV cost 65K (at least), and how much are they now?

I’m an e to f.. depends.. from nokia

I think most of us traversed all the options already (a-f). We all had phones from each segment before and we can say that Filipinos will always be where the global technology is.. ika nga “Kung anong uso.. makikiuso ang pinoy”

“To each his own” ha.. baka may mga trolls at haters na naman dyan.

Since I got an iPhone before, I answered E but in reality, I’d rather depend on the free smartphones offered by telcos under a plan that would suit my mobile consumption. Medyo magastos ako sa IDD at NDD e pati on-the-go net access. Kung ganun din naman kasi ginagastos mo buwan buwan ba’t ka pa bibili ng phone kung libre na sya at that plan? Yun nga lang kung sa Globe ka, pahihintayin ka pa ng matagal bago mo makuha yung phone mo. (Humihirit pa rin LOL!)

ako b or c nalang pero mas prefer ko ang B

Pwede ba all of the above? :) A to F. Pero mas okay kung libre ang phone like it comes FREE with a plan or GIFT from a loved one ;)

‘F’

Got an iphone4 so its “e/f” even though i got it at 31k, but i must say my original budget was 20k below. I was undecided before until i have save some amount to buy an unlocked ip4.. plus resale value is quite good.. nevertheless, satified.

With the advent of the tablets, I don’t put much premium on smartphones anymore.

Hence, I just go for the blackberry for the email, and my budget will be the amount that will be required to be paid by my carrier’s plan to get the blackberry that I want.

In other words, gone are the days where I spent thousands just to get the latest Xperia phone…I’ll just pay the required fee by my telecom carrier under the plan that will give me a new blackberry phone.

I am in letter B when it comes to smart phone because its reasonable but i will only go for F if its an iphone.

B… kaso yung price na lng nya ngayun pang A..

E – bought my SE Xperia Arc for almost 30K

For me price is dependent on the specs and quality of the phone. Personally, the ones between 10k-15k are already good enough for me. I like to strike a balance between practicality and technology.

would be between B and C. i don’t have one yet, just planning. i think to pay for a smartphone topping 30k is way over board. i’d like to separate my gadgets into what they do best instead. a good camera will be a high-end phone camera.

A or B..

I am looking for an Android 2.2 or 2.3 phone with a 600Mhz-1Ghz processor, a good GPU, and capacitive display that will be within my chosen price limit.

CM MAGNUM HD is still kinda expensive even though it is in the B level.

B.) for midrange featured smartphones for me that i find interesting
and i can go as high only as D.) if its top-of-the-line like Samsung Galaxy S II with all the bells and whistles, and only if i have the budget right away

A or B :)

I still believe a phone should be a phone :)) I don’t like watching movies in small screen nor browsing the internet with it. I will just buy a Tab for that. My phone right now is Nokia C3 :P and it works like a charm for me :)

B or C, i think the last thing i bought was an htc wildfire s, i can only afford phones below 20k as of now.

B or C… =)

My answer is c) I can go up to Php20k but that’s it.

less than 7K..
sana mas bumaba pa ang price ng lg optimus one..
hehehe

A to F. But price is respective of the quality of the phone. And when I say quality it means the performance of the device based on it’s hardware coupled with it’s software and the user experience when using the device for any service .

Maybe the right question is, on the average, what do users want in their smartphone? This is for the Pinoy market only since every market differs. Then after coming up with the baseline of features of what a smartphone should have, time to talk about the price.

I got my iPhone 3GS in globe postpaid plan it’s all around 14k plus cashout but worth it!

Is iphone 3gs worth to buy? i’m kinda confused, coz it only has 600mhz prcessor whch you can’t much power,,

c) I can go up to Php20k but that’s it.

Satisfied LG Optimus Black user here :)
wala pa nga lang available na jellycase :(

B. Samsung Galaxy Ace satisfied user here. ;)

b)
i have optimus p500 and it’s a good phone!

Between Php10k to Php15k is my preferred budget.

I dont need the best ones, just those that are “good enough at the moment” :)

B to C – no more, no less. If it hadn’t won the LG2xpert contest for 50% off the LG Optimus 2x, I wouldn’t have bought it at its price — I would’ve gotten a Galaxy SL instead. ;)

C. I can go up to 20k but thats it. I need an upgraded phone but not too expensive ones. they easily depreciate the following months.

I think my budget falls down to D,
currently using LG Optimus 2x

I can go as far as >30 if my phone can make me coffee in the morning.

id give anything as long as it’s smarter than me… that it can do all the thinking for me and not ever go wrong. ha ha ha ha

Definitely A, but I can stretch it a bit if I can’t find a unit that fits my need in bracket A (Php10,000 max), to bracket B (Php 10,000-15,000).

d) I’ll spend as much as Php25k for a smartphone.
I hope these smartphones stay low..
They’re already as expensive as laptops…

B)Id spend 10-15k budget for a smartphone. Higher than that would be very expensive for me. I would rather spend 25k and above for a good netbook or a laptop, just my 2 cents.

I have A and F. F when I am in a safe area, A for areas that are not safe to have an F phone :)

f

My Nokia E63 is more than enough for my present & I guess future needs, I bought a Galaxy tab WIFI only (P1010) at CMK a couple of mos ago for 16K, its great!. So there goes my budget hehehe :)

Ill go for b) its not the problem of the budget but it is rather the declining of the price of the phone that runs down so fast..It can have half the price when you bought it in 3-6 mos. So lower price means lower depreciation.. :)

c. up to 2ok
am waiting for htc desire s to drop to 18-20K and ill get one of those smartphone!

a) I can only afford smartphones under Php10k
because that’s my only budget for a phone..that’s why i’m looking for a high end smart phone..maybe at the range of 5k – 7k :D

I pick letter A. and do you have any android phones that costs 10k but it is not made in china please reply A.S.A.P
