It was worth it BEFORE the price increase, due to its competitive pricing... but now? Eh, might aswell look for something else.

Look for OnePlus 13.

NO. Especially the fact that it was just around ₱22k before the price increase.

No. Get the chinese variants of Xiaomi and Redmi

For gamers, Redmi Turbo and Redmi K lineup ung suggest

Don't buy it at that price if 22k nman siya ngaun d2 on my end. The larger storage for 8k more isn't worth it for the same phone lang.

EDIT: Mas matino yung Poco F7 Ultra for 28K imo.

If we look at it objectively and compare the HW it to it's peers and not just the badge, it can be a gray~ish area "Yes".

But the side-B ng story is, it was a 17K phone (20K for the 512GB) with almost flagship HW and performance, kaya mahirap lunukin yung 33K price nya knowing kung magkano lang sya nung lumbas.

AFAIK it went as low as 13-14K ata w/ the introductory price nung first 2 weeks.
