The Php 15k midrange segment has become a bit stale in the past few months, but things caught up this April with several noteworthy releases that we think fit the bill for our best picks for 2025.

For our best Php 15k midrange phones 2025 list, we checked the current and newly-released models within the Php 10k to Php 15k range and chose which models offer the best possible value for money.

Check out our picks below:

Best Php 15K Midrange Phones 2025

• realme C75
• Infinix NOTE 40 Pro
• Samsung Galaxy A16 5G
• HONOR X8c
• TECNO CAMON 40 Pro 5G

realme C75

If your priority is a phone that can handle being submerged in water without any worries, the C75 is one of the most affordable ones with an IP69 rating at Php 10,999 for the 256GB variant. We’re not just talking about durability here, as the C75 gives you a generous 6000mAh battery inside an 8mm thick body, along with a decent display and a very capable 50-megapixel main camera for everyday shooting. realme also promises 3 years of updates on the C75, proving that its durability goes beyond being waterproof.

Infinix NOTE 40 Pro

If you’re after premium looks and don’t mind being limited to 4G, the NOTE 40 Pro is a solid pick in our books. You’d be hard-pressed to find any phone priced at Php 12k that has a metal alloy frame, a built-in heart rate and blood oxygen sensor, JBL-tuned stereo speakers, and a stunning 144Hz flat AMOLED display–all packed in a 7.3mm thin body with a 5200mAh battery inside. If that’s not enough, it is the only phone in its price segment that has both fast 90W wired and 30W wireless charging.

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G

Samsung joins our list of recommended midrange phones for under Php 15k with the Galaxy A16 5G. While we have yet to review this phone, it’s hard to ignore a 5G-ready Samsung device that’s priced at Php 14k that promises 6 years of software updates, which is the longest we know for any phone in that price range. The Galaxy A16 5G does not disappoint either with its 90Hz Super AMOLED display, Dimensity 6300 processor, a 50-megapixel main camera, and a 7.9mm thin body with a 5000mAh battery inside.

HONOR X8c

If you’re after a thin phone that’s stylish, the X8c is one of the thinnest on the market at 7.1mm thick. It houses a decent 5000mAh battery inside, and the pattern on its vegan leather back panel reminds us of luxury bags and wallets. The X8c also stands out for its display with slim and symmetrical bezels and a capsule-shaped punch-hole that has a 50-megapixel selfie shooter. You’ll not worry about storage on this phone, as it is one of the most affordable to offer 512GB internal storage.

TECNO CAMON 40 Pro 5G

Should you want to maximize the Php 15k price point, TECNO made a splash with the CAMON 40 Pro 5G, which we think offers the absolute best in value right now. Outside of having a Dimensity 7300 processor that’s arguably the best in its class, you also get a 50-megapixel LYT-700C sensor for the main camera and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera that’s touted to be among the best for its price segment. To add more to the table, you get an IP68 rating, a 7.29mm thin body that houses a 5200mAh battery, a 144hz AMOLED display, and 5 years of software updates.

That rounds up our best picks for midrange phones at under Php 15k for 2025 so far. Which one will you most likely purchase?
