An Optical Image Stabilizer is a mechanism on the phone that reduces camera shake, thus reducing the likelihood of blurred images or shaky footage and improving the quality of its shots. It’s interesting to recall that years ago, the only phones with OIS were those which are at the top of the line of their respective brands. This changed as technology became better and more accessible, which is always great news for those of us who are on a budget or have no use for a high-end model. The Php20k price range seems to be a sweet spot for mid-range phones that offer good value, so here are our picks for the top 5 phones with OIS at around that budget.
Top 5 Phones with OIS
- Poco X6 Pro 5G
- Realme 11 Pro 5G
- Vivo V29e 5G
- Infinix ZERO 30 5G
- TECNO Camon 20s Pro 5G
Poco X6 Pro 5G
POCO’s X6 Pro 5G is simply pure value, and until now we’re still in awe that you can get this level of performance at its price point – that alone makes this a solid pick for our list of top 5 phones with OIS. The Dimensity 8300 processor can handle nearly any task you throw at it, its battery can last the whole day, and its OIS plays well when shooting at higher resolutions with its 64-megapixel main camera. There are also two configurations to choose from, but in all honesty, just pay the extra for the 12GB model – you’ll end up getting a lot more value in the long run unless you change phones often.
Price: Php 16,999 for the 8GB 256GB model, Php 19,999 for the 12GB / 512 GB model

Realme 11 Pro 5G
Realme’s 11 Pro 5G has easily distinguished itself from the rest of the midrange pack by simply brimming with so much style out of the box that it’s hard to believe it’s a budget phone. The Dimensity 7050 might be a little underwhelming for power users, but it more than makes up for it with a 100-megapixel shooter that’s equipped with an OIS, a 6.7-inch 120hz curved OLED panel, and of course – that signature leather back. You can also get the Pro+ 5G version which has double the megapixels and storage space if you’re willing to push the budget a little more.
Price: Php 19,999

Vivo V29e 5G
Shooting 60FPS in HD resolution while having an OIS for buttery-smooth footage is a luxury that only a few mid-range phones can afford, and here is the V29e 5G offering it (and more) at a reasonable price point. 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage makes it a great companion for making content all day long, especially when combined with its variety of cameras – a returning 8-megapixel wide angle, a 50-megapixel selfie cam with Eye Autofocus, and a 64-megapixel main shooter.

Infinix ZERO 30 5G
Zero 30 5G’s frosted finish is eye-catching and gives it a premium look that’s reminiscent of top-of-the-line models. Its OIS is paired with a 108-megapixel ISOCELL HM3 main camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide. The one thing that separates it from the pack is that it can shoot good 4k 60FPS footage from both its main camera and its selfie camera, though only the former benefits from having an OIS. Finally, the 30 5G offers a little more bang for the buck with 12GB RAM and a 144hz display – which is rare for phones at its price point.

TECNO Camon 20 Pro 5G
The geometric design of the Camon 20 Pro 5G is eye-catching, but what’s even more surprising is that it’s the most affordable phone on our list to offer OIS. It’s paired with a 64-megapixel main camera that can do 4K video at 30FPS. When you add in the 6.67-inch 120hz AMOLED display, a 32-megapixel selfie cam, and even an in-display fingerprint scanner, it’s an easy top 5 candidate for phones with OIS.
Price: Php 12,999
