The announcement of OnePlus Two earlier today puts another great contender in the mid-range price point. The OnePlus Two joins the venerable Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) in the Php15,000 range as among the best bang-for-the-buck smartphone.
Asus has dubbed the Zenfone 2 as a flagship killer with its high-end specs (4GB RAM, 64GB storage, Intel Atom quad-core) at a mid-range price. OnePlus has also claimed that the OnePlus Two is a 2016 flagship killer with its 4GB DDR4 RAM, 64GB storage and Snapdrgaon 810 octa-core processor at midrange price.
Both handsets are very compelling for their respective asking price.
So we looked a little closer and see how the two handsets are truly respected in their price category.
