After bringing you the phones with the best battery life at every budget—all available at Cyberzone—we bring you this time the top performing phones you can buy in 2024 at every budget.
Outside of cameras and battery life, performance is also a top priority among Filipinos. The holidays mean that Filipinos would need to multitask a lot—and even play games once in a while—which is why a phone with a capable set of internals is a must for them. We compiled our top picks based on what we reviewed in the last 10 months, and we also made sure that they are available at Cyberzone since there’s a good chance that some Filipinos are looking to buy a new phone this Christmas.
Check out our top picks below:
Php 10k Budget Phones
Top Choice: TECNO Spark 20 Pro 5G (Dimensity 6080)
Having a capable 5G phone at under Php 10k is a challenge, and TECNO delivers with the Spark 20 Pro 5G. The Dimensity 6080 is an improved version of MediaTek’s entry-level 5G chips, and you get 256GB UFS 2.2 storage, which is a fair combination for any current entry-level device. Pair that with 8GB RAM and other value-added features like an AMOLED display, and the Spark 20 Pro 5G is your best pick if you are on a budget.
The Spark 20 Pro 5G is priced at Php 9,499.
Alternative Pick: ZTE Blade A75 5G (Unisoc T760)
Smart has hit a home run with the Blade A75 5G as a phone exclusive to the telco because of the insane price-to-performance ratio it has to offer at an under Php 5k price point. We’re not just talking about the Unisoc T760 being able to trade blows with MediaTek’s entry-level 5G chips; we’re also emphasizing the fact that the Blade A75 5G uses UFS 3.1 storage, which is something you can’t find on a budget phone.
The ZTE Blade A75 5G is priced at Php 4,999 and is exclusive to Smart Prepaid.
Php 20k Midrange Phones
Top Choice: POCO X6 Pro (Dimensity 8300)
As far as pure performance is concerned, the X6 Pro is simply unbeatable: aside from its use of a Dimensity 8300 processor that can give old Snapdragon 8 series chips a run for the money, it is the most affordable phone you can buy that uses UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5X RAM—two components that you’d normally find on more expensive flagship devices.
The POCO X6 Pro starts at Php 16,999 for the 8GB/256GB variant.
Alternative Pick: Infinix GT 20 Pro (Dimensity 8200)
Infinix finally made its GT series available in the Philippines, and the GT 20 Pro is a solid model when it comes to pure performance at a lower price point. For Php 16k, you get a very capable Dimensity 8200 processor that’s paired with 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, which is enough to run demanding games like Genshin Impact at high graphics without any worries.
The GT 20 Pro is priced at Php 15,999.
Php 30k Midrange Phones
Top Choice: HONOR 200 Pro (Snapdragon 8s Gen 3)
The HONOR 200 Pro has to be the best all-rounder midrange phone we’ve reviewed for 2024. We praised it for having one of the better camera setups on a midrange phone, and its use of a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip also means you’re getting solid performance as well. That also means that the HONOR 200 Pro is very capable for heavy-duty gaming.
The HONOR 200 Pro is priced at Php 29,999.
Alternative Pick: POCO F6 Pro (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)
The POCO F6 Pro may use a rather old Snapdragon 8 series chip, but the 8 Gen 2 is still a performance beast—beating the newer Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in some scenarios. It’s easy to run Genshin Impact at a consistent 60FPS even at the highest graphics, making the POCO F6 Pro a solid pick if you’re after a midrange phone that boasts flagship internals.
The POCO F6 Pro starts at Php 26,999 for the 256GB model.
That rounds up all the top performing phones at every budget that you can buy in 2024, all available in Cyberzone, which is present in 67 locations nationwide. Which one do you plan to get this holiday season?
