While we think that the HONOR 70 is the best for its price point, there’s no question that it has strong competition within its price segment that offers its own unique features. We look through the under Php 30k segment, and give you five of the best alternatives to the HONOR 70 here in the Philippines:
5 Alternatives to the HONOR 70 in the Philippines
- realme GT Neo3
- Samsung Galaxy A73
- Nothing Phone (1)
- OPPO Reno8
- vivo V25 Pro
realme GT Neo3
If you prefer a flat AMOLED display and prioritize performance, the GT Neo3 is a strong contender thanks to the immense performance of the Dimensity 8100 processor beating inside it. The ultra-wide-angle camera on the GT Neo3 is a downgrade from what the HONOR 70 offers, but you do get OIS on the main camera and stereo speakers, along with a slightly larger 5000mAh battery that supports 80w charging.
Samsung Galaxy A73
If you are team Samsung, you can’t go wrong with the Galaxy A73. Aside from having a high-resolution 108-megapixel main camera that sports OIS, the Galaxy S73 is one of the very few mid-range phones that has an IP67 rating despite using a plastic back panel, allowing you to douse the phone in water without worrying about any damage. It may just have a flat 120hz AMOLED panel, but there’s an advantage with Samsung AMOLED panels in terms of overall display quality.
Nothing Phone (1)
Nothing’s first phone matches the premium build of the HONOR 70, and adds a twist with its unique Glyph interface on the back panel. The Nothing Phone (1) keeps straightforward with two 50-megapixel cameras on the back–one of them having OIS, and its design makes it the closest iPhone-like look to an Android device. The battery is smaller at 4500mAh, but you’re getting wireless charging with it.
OPPO Reno8
For roughly the same price as the HONOR 70, the Reno8 uses a lower-resolution set of rear cameras and a smaller, flat 90hz AMOLED display in exchange for a more powerful Dimensity 1300 processor. It also has a unibody back panel that has a durable matte finish, giving you less worries about fingerprints and smudges, along with faster 80w charging. The selfie shooter deserves special mention, as the IMX709 sensor has better performance than most selfie cameras out there.
vivo V25 Pro
If you still want a curved display, BUT desire more processing power, the V25 Pro is a very suitable alternative. While its ultra-wide-angle camera is not as desirable as what the HONOR 70 offers, you do get OIS on its 64-megapixel main camera and autofocus on the selfie camera. The Dimensity 1300 offers more power than the Snapdragon 778G+ found on the HONOR 70, and the V25 Pro has a special back panel that changes colors.
