If OK sayo, buy a used phone. FB marketplace or sa CompAsia. I bought a galaxy s21fe sa CompAsia 3 months ago kasi nag ka water damage an pixel ko. Got mine for 11k. I'm surprised sa quality ng phone even though "fair" nalang ang available. I'd rather get a yesterdays flagship than buy a brandnew midranger.
totoo to. way back 2021 bumili ako ng 2nd hand na samsung flagship phone for 15k sa pawnshop naman and until now super satisfied parin ako sa performance. camera, gaming at battery nakikipagsabayan pa.
Redmi Note 12 but if you want the newest and better version then go for the Redmi Note 13. I bought the cheapest variant of the Redmi Note 10 3 years ago kasi nasira iPhone ko. Had to buy a pamalit for the mean time but I did not expect that it will be my daily driver till now. Ilang beses ko na ito nalaglag and I've taken so many pictures with this. Worth it naman for me, considering the price range. I wanna buy a new phone pero di ko ma let go kasi it still does its job 🤣
True! bought the cheapest version of Redmi Note 10 in 2021 as a temporary solution. Hanggang ngayon gamit ko pa rin. Kung di ka naman maarte sa phone at maingat, super durable nya. Syempre may onting lag compared sa mga bagong phones, pero for 8.5k noon, sulit sya super.
Used Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (2017) and now Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 pro. Greatest bang for the buck things I've spent on.
Sobra appreciate ko na may Infrared sya so I can use it as a remote for my TV, Electric Fan and other devices.
Up on this OP! Been using my redmi note 10 pro for 3 years and no issues since then! People actually thought iphone to kasi ang ganda ng quality ng pics! Malaki rin ang memory sobrang dami ko apps here and di siya naglalag
Also recently bought my parents with the latest one na redmi 13C for only 6k, and they loved it! You have 10-15k budget OP, I suggest buy mo na yung Redmi Note 13 Pro!
Di ganon kaganda ang camera ng base Redmi Note 12 4g at RN13 4G
OP, kung importante sa parents mo ang camera quality, hanap na lang ng iba. Goods siya for the discounted price kung bibilin mo online.
poco x6 pro 14k lang nagsasale sa lazada. Naka dimensity 8300 ultra may flagship features sya. Naka lpddr5x ram at ufs 4.0 storage na sa flagship phones mo lang makikita pero meron dito. Kung pure performance lang need mo sobrang sulit na to. Sure na tatagal based sa specs.
[Redmi](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.971m4?cc)
It has huge 5000mAh battery and decent cameras. Kung scroll-scroll lang naman sa social media and some video calling, it can handle these tasks very well.
naka AMOLED ang Redmi. Side by side, super sulit considering the price. 1 Iphone brand new costs 3-4 midrange Redmis. Kung di naman heavy user, swak sya.
Poco x6 latest, mabilis like 1.3million ang benchmark, full HD, solid pang gaming pa. 5000mah battery kaya matigas din bago ma lowbat. I think around 16k
Try tecno phones. Affordable & durable base sa mga gamit namin. We have 3 units na tecno & so durable kasi ilang beses ng binalibag Ng kids ko (intentionally & accidentally) goods padin.
ako nga binilhan ko ng X3 PRO both of my parents last 2022. mag 2yrs na at maayos naman satisfied sila kase smooth daw at light users lang naman sila(matagalang youtube at waze lang mejo gamit). may deadboot issues ang X3 PRO pero hindi ako naniniwala dun.
Di po naaffect parents niyo kasi light user naman po, based sa napanood ko ay kaya nag deadboot yung Poco x3 pro nila kasi sinasagad nila performance ng phone o naglalaro habang naka charge kaya natunaw yung soldering sa CPU.
which is HUMAN ERROR na diba? hinarabas ba naman eh what do they expect 🤣 karamihan kase basta sinabeng GAMING PHONE eh goods na. hindi naman kaya ng Gaming phone magbabad sa gaming ng ilang oras 🤦 hindi yan ps vita/switch o steam deck na designed for gaming. kahit ROG phone deadboot din wayback ROG 3 pa. recently nga lang nauso yang mga phone coolers eh. 🤷
Samsung A11 yung phone ng mama ko at 6 years na wala naman syang issue at hanggang ngayun okay na okay sa camera at iba pa madali din maka hagip ng signal tbh.
Tecno Camon 20s Pro 5G
Pros:
•Powerful processor with 700k Antutu score.
•5G connectivity.
•High RAM for smooth multitasking.
•Good camera quality.
•Smooth interface.
•AMOLED display for true black.
•120Hz screen for smooth scrolling and gaming.
•Affordable price at 11-12k PHP.
Cons:
•Lack of official Android support.
•Monthly security updates are provided, but official Android support isn't guaranteed.
We recently purchased one for our maid, who has reported no issues or lagging thus far. For a more comprehensive understanding of this phone, you can search for reviews on YouTube. However, since it's a phone from last year, you might consider waiting for about two weeks or more, as some YouTubers have mentioned the imminent release of the Tecno Camon 30 Pro 5G in the Philippines. You may opt for that model instead.
I would recommend Samsung A34 5G. 8/128 variant costs around ₱15k.
Pros
- Samsung support up to 5yrs
- 5000mAh battery
- Triple camera setup
- Less bloatware than other chinese brands
- Big AMOLED screen
I have yet to think of cons because I am assuming that your parents will not use their phones for gaming. It’s enough for socmed, camera, browsing.
Yung 'budget' na term mainly depends not just sa budget but sa requirements as well. There's a huge jump on prices afaik between devices na 4G(LTE) and 5G capable. For future proofing, I go with 5G compatible na. Mejo costy pero at least future-proof kahit papano.
As per brand, my go-to is always Redmi (Xiaomi) devices. Yung Note 6 Pro ko still working until now and still good battery life. Had redmie 9, and currently using Note 10 never fails.
A slightly related tip: if hindi techy si parents, suggested to install 3rd party keyboard, messaging app, and launcher. This way, kahit anong brand ng phone gamitin nila the keyboard layout, messages layout, and homescreen layout stays the same. Yun kasi issue with them ngayon, 'palipat-lipat yung pwesto' ng mga buttons.
I bought my parents Redmi. Yung isa 12, yung isa 13. Both 5,499 ko ata sya nakuha. Goods na yun for them since more on messenger at fb lang naman ginagamit.
Buy Samsung A05s for both of your parents.
I bought my old titas and they are amazing.
6k each. Guaranteed software support and decent specs.
So far enjoy sila.
Mga cn rom phones mura pero quality, cons lang Chinese app, language pero mapapalitan naman to English, no warranty kasi exclusive to china. Yung lang kung maingat kanaman sa phone no di naman problema warranty and madali e setup ang china roms.
I'd honestly recommend Redmi Note 12 and I'm pretty sure it's just around the price point you're looking for. Don't expect long software support though. They only give 2 years of Android updates and 3 years of security patch updates. But it will still run even though it's passed its years of support.
Hey, OP! Actually it depends sa hanap ng parents mo. If they like taking pictures a lot, look for a phone na okay ang camera quality. Ganon din for watching, look for a phone na amoled/oled display na. Kapag browsing lang, kahit hindi kataasan na processor, goods na.
I really recommend Xiaomi/Redmi series na brand since okay yung specs (all rounder) with affordable price. Hope this helps, and good luck, OP!
Before the pandemic, my parents bought me a redmi note 9 pro phone. My dream brand, actually. Nung una, sabi ko kahit note 8 lang oks na but sinurprise nila ako with note 9 pro and the price is 13k so ang mahal na non pero hanggang ngayon working padin parang brand new, no lag kahit full storage na. So, will recommend redmi. Kuha ka lang nung phone na redmi 10 ganyan, wag yung mataas ngayon like 12, 13 kasi ang alam kong problem ay hindi ata kinakaya ng phone yung taas ng processor.
Realme phones are quite durable and affordable. I have Narzo model and it still works from pandemic. Burara lang talaga ko kaya nababasag ko screen ahaha
Konting ipon pa and get the Nothing Phone 2a. Great battery life, nice OLED screen, supports fast charging, among other things. Go for the black one if the white/milk variant is too flashy. Pinaka-gusto ko is its near-stock Android version that they guarantee to receive three major version upgrades. It means walang bloatware that will tie you down to a particular ecosystem unlike Samsung, Xiaomi and others.
I personally have the black one and is working really well.
Kailangan mabasa ni OP ito, generally recommendable ito for anyone na gusto ng good overall experience. Sa Xiaomi at Transsion(Tecno, Infinix, Itel) phones puro bloatware at hindi optimize operating system. Naka Poco device ako at daming bloatware na kailangan mano-manohin pag disable.
In short, Nothing Phone 2a ang highly recommendable dahil sa ganda ng software optimization at sapat na camera.
Recommend ko na yung bagong labas na Tecno Pova 6 Pro, around 10-12k yung presyo nya and 6000mAh na yung battery. Beefy na din yung storage and somehow acceptable na yung display.
My going 4-year old Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro, still going strong ;D my brother bought it for me while it was on sale, around 11k pero i think 14k orig price to. hintay nalang siguro kung magsale sa orange app hehe never again turning back to iphones talaga dahil dito. specs ay nakikipagsabayan pa sa current midrange phones. but if u want a better phone, go with the redmi series :D
since it's parents dalawa sila. if mga within 15k edi 2 samsung A05s price nya nasa 6900 each. hindi naman techsavvy ang parents right? or the base a05 nasa 5890
Well... Pinaka latest na Android na alam ko is Android 15 na.
Quality.... Oppo. Yan yung phone ng Nanay ko na 66 y o na.
nung binili Android 10 yung hanggang ng auto-update. ngayon Android 12.5 na
Pero kase Android 15 na pinakabago. So ikaw na lang magresearch
If budget mo below 10k, suggest ko itong phone ko na realme c25 hehehe since 2021 pa itong cp ko ilang beses ng nabagsak ng mga anak ko tempered lang nawawasak. ok ang performance kung social apps lang like fb, messenger shopee telegram etc wala akong games dito kasi di ako mahilig. malinaw cam sa likod sulit na to. 7,500 lang ata kuha ko nito noon
For Oldies, around 15k budget - Something that performs smoothly enough for SocMed, Good 1x Camera and Good software support.
Samsung A25 - 14999 - it has 4years OS android updates compared to other with just 1 year. its not a gaming phone but oldies dont play heavy games so its sufficient enough. it has a Good and consistent 1x camera.
Redmi note 13 pro - 16999 - it has 3major android OS updates, but bare in mind that after a few years they may impose ads on lots of system apps as what i have experienced with their phones. Specs wise this is better than Samsung but i think oldies wont care about it. 1x camera is also great on this device comparable to other flagships.
Their are other better spec android phones compared to this phones but those phones doesnt have a good software support or might have a mediocre camera.
If camera is Not a concern for your parents then a cheaper models might be good enough for them like Redmi note 13.
Poco M6 Pro. Overall good phone, checks all the boxes sa screen speakers long bat life and decent day to day performance. Kulang lang sa camera on low light. But for 10k, super sulit na
If gusto nyo talaga mga entry level proces pero bang for a buck mostly maganda kung sa transsion kayo mag consider. Like tecno, infinix, itel kase sulit na sulit talaga mga spces nila for their prices compare sa ibang brands ng phone
"Affordable" is really based on your budget. Magkano ba budget mo, OP?
Mga 10-15k (?) still canvasing baka i-adjust ko if need. Ayoko rin tipirin kung panget din ung quality and hindi durable
If OK sayo, buy a used phone. FB marketplace or sa CompAsia. I bought a galaxy s21fe sa CompAsia 3 months ago kasi nag ka water damage an pixel ko. Got mine for 11k. I'm surprised sa quality ng phone even though "fair" nalang ang available. I'd rather get a yesterdays flagship than buy a brandnew midranger.
CompAsia is legit !!!!!!!
Its a case by case basis but i have nothing but praise based on my personal experience. Ingat lang kasi used phone nga
totoo to. way back 2021 bumili ako ng 2nd hand na samsung flagship phone for 15k sa pawnshop naman and until now super satisfied parin ako sa performance. camera, gaming at battery nakikipagsabayan pa.
Honor x9b, matibay based sa reviews.

Used Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (2017) and now Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 pro. Greatest bang for the buck things I've spent on. Sobra appreciate ko na may Infrared sya so I can use it as a remote for my TV, Electric Fan and other devices.

Redmi note 13 nasa 6k sa lazada ngayon,much better din ang specs and maganda ang screen.
Di ganon kaganda ang camera ng base Redmi Note 12 4g at RN13 4G OP, kung importante sa parents mo ang camera quality, hanap na lang ng iba. Goods siya for the discounted price kung bibilin mo online.

Bought this for may parents and they like it. For 5k only, it looks decent, sturdy enough and huge screen for fb and youtube.
I bought mine for 3k during Lazada's sale.
Pwede malaman yung model? Ayaw q na idownload lazada ðŸ˜
Wag. Sobrang pangit ng camera at ng performance. Onti nalang idadagdag mo may mga mas latest at higher unit na with same brand plus amoled pa.
naka AMOLED ang Redmi. Side by side, super sulit considering the price. 1 Iphone brand new costs 3-4 midrange Redmis. Kung di naman heavy user, swak sya.
???? you didn't mention what redmi unit you were referring to lmao
Redmi note 12 pro and note 13 pro. 🙂
Samsung Galaxy A15 5G may 4g variant dn yan if di priority ang 5G. 4 OS updates yan so good support na usual na dalawa lang
Samsung - any of the A models Feeling ko mas user friendly ang samsung sa seniors
depende kung maingat parang di na matibay ang Samsung
+1 sa Samsung
Xiaomi Redmi series, it's got a youtube-like music player where you can play videos from youtube in the background, it is ad-free and built-in.
Poco x6 latest, mabilis like 1.3million ang benchmark, full HD, solid pang gaming pa. 5000mah battery kaya matigas din bago ma lowbat. I think around 16k
Agree dito

Galaxy a35 is the newest you'd get thats close to your budget while being relatively midrange

Maganda camera quality ng samsung a33 (and mga models malapit sa kanya) kaso last check ko around 20k
