Looking for the best budget 5G phones in 2021 now that 5G is starting to become even more prevalent across the Philippines?

Here are the Best Budget 5G Phones in the Philippines for 2021 (Q1):

Best Budget 5G Phones 2021

OnePlus Nord N10 5G

OnePlus’ Nord N10 5G is the most affordable phone on this list, but despite that it still has all the things you look for in a mid-range phone. It has a great 90Hz refresh rate, solid build quality that you’ve come to expect from OnePlus, as well as a fairly powerful Snapdragon 690 processor along with a quad-camera module and 6GB/128GB configuration. It retails in the Philippines at Php 13,990, making it one of the most affordable 5G smartphones you can buy in the country as of press time.

Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G

Leave it to Xiaomi to make a phone so affordable that it squeaks just under our Php 20K/$400 price ceiling to be considered a budget 5G phone, but that’s exactly what their Mi 10T did. The Mi 10T might be the most expensive smartphone on this list, but it’s an affordable flagship that’s armed with a flagship processor along with excellent cameras and a top-tier exterior. If you can stretch your budget to the very limit set by our article, then you should definitely pick up the Mi 10T 5G in Lazada for Php 19,990.

Motorola Moto G 5G Plus

Motorola is back in the Philippines and is looking to regain lost ground with its Moto G 5G Plus. This budget offering is a solid return to form, sporting fairly powerful performance thanks to the Snapdragon 765 processor, along with 8GB/128GB configuration and balanced cameras. The best bit is the fact it’s just Php 16,990 here in the Philippines.

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G

Samsung’s not about to be left behind in the affordable 5G race, offering Philippine customers their new Galaxy A42 5G. While the Galaxy A42 5G looks the part of an affordable 5G smartphone though, it suffers a bit because of its screen (HD+ resolution only) as well as steep pricing of Php 19,990. Still, it’s an option for people who just won’t buy a phone without the Samsung name plastered all over it.

Huawei Nova 7 SE 5G

Huawei’s Nova 7 SE 5G is one of the earliest available mid-range 5G phones in the market when it was launched in the middle of 2020, which means it’s already gotten several price cuts since then. This beautiful mid-range 5G smartphone is capable of taking great photos, has a performance that’s even better than some of the other phones on this list, and the best part is that it’s only priced at Php 17,999 from Lazada.
