Android smartphones you can buy for Php5,990 or less

Now that Nokia has released their Nokia X handset in the Philippine market, the question whether they’ve priced it competitively remains unanswered. In out attempt to do so, here is what we gathered as possible Android smartphones you can get for the price of a Nokia X.

The Nokia X has a 4-inch display, 1.0GHz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM, dual-SIM, and 4GB internal storage. We looked around for handsets that are priced under Php6,000 and here are the ones that made the list.

Samsung Galaxy Star Plus Dual (4-inch, 1GHz, 512MB, 4GB, dual-SIM)
Street Price: Php4,850

Sony Xperia E Dual (3.5-inch, 1GHz, 512MB RAM, 4GB, dual-SIM)
Street Price: Php5,490

Lenovo A516 (4.5-inch, 1.3GHz dual-core, 512MB, 4GB, dual-SIM)
Street Price: Php5,990

LG Optimus L5 II (4-inch, 1GHz, 512MB, 4GB, single SIM)
Street Price: Php5,950

Alcatel One Touch POP C5 (4.5-inch, 1.3GHz dual-core, 512MB, 4GB, single SIM)
Street Price: Php4,999

O+ 8.52 (4-inch, 1GHz dual-core, 512MB, 8GB, dual-SIM)
Street Price: Php5,995

Cherry Mobile Fuze (5-inch, 1.3GHz quad-core, 1GB, 4GB, dual-SIM)
Street Price: Php5,350

MyPhone Agua Hail (5-inch, 1.3GHz dual-core, 512MB, 4GB, dual-SIM)
Street Price: Php3,988

In terms of specs, the Nokia X is better than the Optimus L5 II and the Xperia E Dual but is just the same as the Galaxy Star Plus Dual where it beat the latter in terms of price.

Android-based Nokia X priced around Php5,000

Rumors about the Nokia X (previously codenamed Normandy) has been going on and on, but it’s only until recently that the pricing for this device surfaced on the Internet.

Techrum.vn, an online Vietnamese retailer, has put up the Nokia X on its site for around 2.3 mill VND (approximately Php5,000 when converted). It just makes sense as it was stated before that the upcoming Android-based smartphone will be placed in the entry-level category, squeezing between the Asha 503 and Lumia 525.

In terms of specs, the same rumors posted before still hold true.

The question now is, would the people accept Nokia X with open arms? Keeping in mind that it could implement a Windows-like interface and not having access to Google Play. Personally, would you?

4-inch WVGA (480 x 800) display, 233ppi
dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon CPU
512MB RAM

5 megapixel camera
Nokia Store + “3rd party”
dual-SIM, dual standby
1,500mAh battery

The CPU and camera specs coincide with the device info on a purported AnTuTu benchmark of the said smartphone. Below is a screenshot of the UI, again from @evleaks:

The remaining questions to be asked now are the price and country availability. We expect the price to fall comfortably between the most expensive Asha and the cheapest WP8 Lumia which is between Php5,000 to Php8,000, to avoid cannibalism.

While these leaks provide a lot of information, things are still far from being official. It is however, a good sign to the hopefuls that a Nokia droid is just around the corner waiting to be released. And it’s just a matter of time.
