Poll: Which locally distributed brand makes the best smartphones?

Last month, we ran a poll asking which global brands make the best Android phones. This time we’d like to do a similar poll for the local brands or the ones that only distribute their units in the Philippines. Head on to the poll widget below to vote.

We have the likes of Cherry Mobile, Torque and MyPhone that’s been around for 3 years or so. Then, the new players like O+ and Starmobile and second-tier names like Arc Mobile, SKK and DCT also joined in.

Pick the one which you think offers the best value for the product that they sell.

  1. Bakit kasali ang STARMOBILE?

  2. makes the best smartphones? really? sila gumagawa ng products nila?

  3. Considered po ba silang makers kung nag rerebrand lang naman sila at nagdidistribute?

  4. O+ isn’t a local brand. US brand sya. Bakit kasama sa polls?

  5. wala po akong fb, twitter at G+ na account kaya hindi po ako maka pag vote dito… oist! bawal mag flying voters dito ah.. lahat na local kasali walang reklamo guys kahit si cd r king na bulok na cellphone isali pa rin baka meron pang isa mag vovote dito. lol

    Sent from my Android.

  6. no local brand AFAIK actually MAKES phones so we have to include rebranding and distribution

    I have a starmobile and i chose it over O+ only because it had a free screen protector as well as dragontrail glass

    those 2 are my top choices

  7. I vote for MyPhone

  8. Cherry Mobile FTW!!!
    They are the only brand who can offer good-spec’d devices at a ridiculously low-price. Fusion Bolt and Flare are truly killer devices for their affordable price and no other brands could ever touch them.

    Cherry Mobile > Samsung > Apple > Micro$oft

    As always, laging kulelat ang Micro$oft dahil sa crappy Window$ OS, lolz.

  9. I think it would be difficult to get any big conclusions out of this poll. People will obviously vote for the brand they are using even if they haven’t tried competitors.

    I think it would be better if Yugatech does some kinda faceoff. Take the most popular phones of each brand with competing price tags and see what excels. Yugatech has the experience with all brands so they can tell us which local brand is best in what areas (reliability, support, updates, build quality, screen, camera etc.)

  10. smartphone makers??? you know better than that author.. this is a lame article..

  11. From assembly to chassis painting, I think sa Shenzen lahat

    Packaging lang yata ginagawa sa Pinas, hehe
    Oo nga naman chief YUGA, mali yung title mo

  12. Eh rebranded lng nmn mga phones nila eh

  13. bakt po di ksama Cloudfone?

  14. bakit di po kasali dito ang Cloudfone????

  15. Mali ang title ng post na ito, dapat ay “Which local brand markets the best smartphone”. Tanong lang: yung may local brands ba may pagawaan ng cell phones sa pinas? di ba lahat ay galing sa tsina?

  16. As a whole the best local brands are in this order

    1 Cherry
    2 Myphone
    3 Starmobile

  17. This poll is stupid. Lahat ng smartphones imported lang sa china, rebranded lang. Tanga tanga talaga

  18. tanong lang.

    bakit kailangan pa may login, di ba pwedeng vote->result na lang?

  19. Para sakin dabes diyan ay my|phone, mas mahal man ng kaunti sa cherry mobile, macoconsider pa rin naman siya na mura, at masisisguro mo pa na maganda ang customer service. Ang nakikita ko lang siguro na downside nito ay kakulangan nila sa pagaadvertise,tska siguro ung madalang na paglabas ng mga baging models ng phone(although ayoko rin naman na mayatmaya eh naglalabas tulad ng cherry mobile)

  20. i vote myphone kc maganda ang quality and specs , and actually the performance .. kc gamit ko is a848i . so far wala pa syang problema and upgraded ko na ito sa JB .. kung qusto mo ng good quality and satisfied na hindi masisira ang phone mo .. you choose MYPHONE :)

    Pero Maganda Din ang Starmobile kc sa quality niLa pero im not sure kc hnd pa ako nagkaroon ng unit niLa

  21. Sino ba ang leading ngayon dito? Yong mobile ko ngayon na ginagamit Cloudfone 430x high capacity battery.

    Paki add na lang po dyan sa Cloudfone.. Salamat

  22. Reliable ba kamo?
    2 lang ang reliable brand sa pinas na locally rebranded…

    *Myphone
    *Starmobile
    .
    yung Cherry Mobile e wag nyo na isama, prone sa pagka sira kahit gaano ka pa kaalaga….

  23. for tablets, im pretty much blown away by what Novo7tech has in the market right now.

  24. whether it’s local brand or distro, im pretty much blown away by what Novo7tech has in the market right now.

  25. ba’t walang Cloudfone?

  26. Pag meron nang sm bonus rebrand ng cellphone sa pinas tyak mananalo sa botohan kasi isang boto isang point sa smac lol.

  27. Bakit kasama yung O+? US brand daw sila sabi nila.

  28. Its Starmobile and MyPhone for me. I owned a MyPhone A888 earlier this year and it was really a solid experience. Hardware never gave up despite my heavy and abusive use. Now I own a Starmobile Icon. I’ve been using for 2 months and no problem at all both hardware and software.

  29. MyPhone for me….simple lang …SOLID :D

  30. the title of the poll should read: Which Local Brand [Rebrands] the Best Smartphones?

  31. I’m never buying cherry mobile again. Some of their products are good, but their after sales service sucks. I bought a CM fusion fire and after 2 weeks, its touch screen broke down w/o any physical damage and etc. Plus it’s very slow, runs like a dual core w/ 512mb ram. I found out the Fusion fire’s processor is not an actual Cortex A9 but a measly Cortex A5. It has been almost 2 months already and still no news about the tab. Will be buying an ipad 5, a galaxy note 10.1 (2014 ed), Or if MyPhone releases a good tab.

  32. are we going to see any of these locals turn out a windows phone soon?

  33. sir, ang dating ng tanong eh may local brand na nag mamanufacture ng smartphone. Hindi po ba rebrand lang yung mga phones nila?

  34. I’ve tried MyPhone. Pero tagal na, a dual sim qwerty phone na may mapa ng pinas sa likod. It surprisingly felt solid, although I hated the map and plastic back cover. Voice calls were crystal clear. Qwerty so madaling magsms. It was a dual sim and walang problema, both sims were active. Malakas din signal. Siguro 5 years na ung MyPhone na un, buhay pa. We made it our wireless landline kasi ang galing ng voice call. Ilang beses na din nabagsak, wala naman nangyari. It never had to be serviced. Since hindi pa naman sya android, charge lasts for 3 days with moderate call and sms use. I’ve also tried buying a Cherry Mobile, pero when we tried testing the unit – dun pa lang nagloko na so di ko na tinuloy since I knew about the bad reviews.

  35. i love my phone its so durable i hat cherry mobile buwisit yun

  36. ang xperience ko sa paggmit Cherry mobile ay nakakabwesit.. maganda at magaling sa specs ang cherry mobile pero pagdating sa hardware ehh.. may mga nasisira agad.. hindi lang sa hardware pati na rin sa signal nakakabwesit na rin..

  37. MyPhone INFINITY rockz!
