MediaTek’s Dimensity line of 5G-ready processors proved to be a success for the Taiwanese chipmaker. Aside from being able to offer 5G phones at more accessible price points, MediaTek’s higher-end chips like the Dimensity 1000+ can rival Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800-series chips as proven in multiple benchmark tests.

Verdict: After focusing on the budget to mid-range segment since it debuted in the Philippines in late 2018, Realme is looking to punch through the other side of the spectrum.

Verdict: Arriving a few months after the 4G Reno4, the Reno4 Z makes a few trade-offs to offer a 5G to the mid-range. While the processor only supports up to 90hz and drains the battery like crazy at 120hz, the Reno4 Z’s Auto Select mode gives a good balance between decent battery life and a […]

The more notable upgrades here are the 64-megapixel main camera, 8GB RAM, and […]
Verdict: The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel is big, loud, and powerful, and gives ASUS’s ROG Phone 3 serious competition for the title of the best gaming phone in the Philippines. While the phone doesn’t have as robust of an accessory library as its main rival, it makes up for it nice to have additions like […]
Verdict: Like the headline implies, Samsung has improved on this version of the Fold so much.
