The iPhone 11, the spiritual successor to Apple’s popular iPhone XR, is finally official. Not a lot has changed (including the display), but it does offer dual cameras.

The iPhone 11 starts with a price of USD 699, and will ship to more than 30 countries starting September 20. It comes in Black, Green, Yellow, Purple, (Product) Red, and White.

The iPhone 11 features dual rear cameras with a 12MP f/1.8 wide and 12MP f/2.4 ultra-wide sensors. It has Apple’s 2x optical zoom, OIS, and True Tone flash. Selfies are handled by a TrueDepth 12MP front shooter with an f/2.2 aperture.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, whichever way you look at it), the iPhone 11 comes with a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD display with True Tone, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 support. It has a resolution of 1792 x 828, but is plenty sharp with 326 ppi.

Under the hood is Apple’s latest A13 Bionic chipset equipped with a 3rd generation Neural Engine. The processor was built on a 7nm process with 2 high performance cores and 4 power efficient cores.

There’s also a new GPU with 4-cores, said to be 20% faster and 40% more power efficient than the previous generation. It also has the 3rd generation Neural Engine with 8 cores.

Apple’s Deep Fusion will also come to the iPhone 11 as a software update. It also has a new Night Mode.

Battery life is rated to last up to 1 hour longer than the iPhone XR. Not sure if that’s good or bad, but just take it as it is. Fast charging can top up top up the phone up to 50% capacity in just 30 minutes.

The iPhone 11 starts is priced USD 699 (roughly PHP 36,500) for the 64GB. It will probably become available in the Philippines around mid to late November 2019.

In the wake of the newly launched iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max, Apple is cutting the prices of the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and the XR in the Philippines.

These iOS devices were the flagships of yesteryears. And while they’re still mostly expensive, this gives those who wants to get into the Apple ecosystem a chance of snagging one of these iPhones.

So how much are they now? Check out the new prices of Apple’s older devices:

• Apple iPhone 8 64GB – PHP 30,990
• Apple iPhone 8 128GB – PHP 33,990
• Apple iPhone 8 Plus 64GB – PHP 36,990
• Apple iPhone 8 Plus 128GB – PHP 39,990
• Apple iPhone XR 64GB – PHP 40,990
• Apple iPhone XR 128GB – PHP 43,990

As for the iPhone XS and XS Max, these are no longer available on Apple’s website and replaced with the iPhone 11 Pro series and the iPhone 11.

Which one should you get?

For those who really want an iPhone (and don’t have the patience to wait for the new ones to come out) the best device on the list is the iPhone XR.

The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are still great devices (I still use mine), but they’re already two years old with a dated design. The XR, while not perfect, is relatively new and comes with a 12MP camera that is said to be leagues away from the previous generation. And it also rocks Apple’s 7nm A12 Bionic chipset which is still pretty powerful.

Now, the only thing going against the XR is the display, which is technically in HD with a 1792 x 828 resolution and a pixel density of 326 ppi. But it has True Tone and a wide color gamut, and has been highly regarded as one of the best IPS panels in its segment.

In the end, though, it might be better to just wait for the Philippine prices of the new iPhones. This way, you can make a better decision on what to get.

No price has been announced, but we can guess how much it’s going to cost based on international prices.

In India, the Realme 5 Pro is priced at INR 13,999 for the 4/64GB, INR 14,999 for the 6/64GB, and INR 16,999 for the 8/128GB. Converted locally, that’s PHP 10,300, PHP 10,970, and PHP 12,450. Prices will be at least close to these. Realme PH did warn us that local prices will be subject to local taxes.

Today, we’re taking a quick look at OPPO’s latest smartphone, the OPPO A9 2020. The handset is being marketed as a midrange phone with features that aim above its price point.

The OPPO A9 2020 is now available for blind pre-orders until September 19. Currently, the official price has not yet been revealed. There’s nothing to worry about though as OPPO assured us that it will be friendly.

Now, on with the initial review. Right off the bat, the first thing I noticed with the A9 2020 is the design. The handset features OPPO’s recent design language found on their flagships such as the OPPO Reno series.

The phone has that sleek vibe going for it. The back panel is made of smooth plastic that mimics glass with a gradient that shifts between dark and light colors. It looks good and makes you wonder why they’re debuting it on the midrange segment. The frame is also made of a plastic material but with a matte finish that give it a premium look and feel.

The handset comes with a massive 5,000mAh battery. With just that number, you know you’ll get more usage out of this than most devices. It also has reverse charging, allowing it to top-up other devices through an OTG cable.

As for the cameras, you have four at the back with a 48MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, and two 2MP sensors for “artistic portrait effects.” Three of the sensors are at the middle on a vertical layout, while the other one sits beneath the flash. The main camera has a large 1/2.25″ sized sensor with 0.8um pixel size. The front camera uses a 16MP sensor with an f/2.0 lens.

Vivo finally unveiled its latest flagship, the Vivo NEX 3. The handset features 5G connectivity, top of the line internals, and a new display.

Vivo’s latest offering brings a lot of features of what many will deem a future-forward smartphone.

Starting with the front, the NEX 3 comes with a 6.89-inch full HD Super AMOLED Waterfall display. It’s named such because of the way the sides of the screen slope making it appear that it wraps the side, giving it an almost bezel-less appearance. This, according to Vivo, gives the phone an unprecedented 99.6% screen-to-body ratio.

Interestingly, because of the waterfall display, the NEX 3 does not have physical keys. It uses what they call Touch Sense where the sides simulate button presses complete with a haptic feedback, depending on various use cases.

We’re taking a quick look at the Realme 5 Pro. The handset is Realme’s entrant to the world of 48MP cameraphones.

The midranger is set to officially launch in the country. Unfortunately, Realme Philippines has not yet revealed its official price. But as with all Realme products (and based on international pricing), we’re expecting the handset to punch beyond its price point.

Right off the bat, the first thing you’ll notice with the Realme 5 Pro is how handsome it looks. Realme is doing a great job improving the design with every release. This one comes with a modern and sleek body.

The back panel has a diamond pattern that changes from different shades of blue and violet. It is made of a plastic polycarbonate material which in the hand feels substantial and solid.

At the front, the Realme 5 Pro comes with a 6.3-inch full HD+ IPS display with a 19.5:9 ratio. It has a resolution of 2340 x 1080 and a pixel density of 409 ppi. It also sports a dewdrop notch for the 16MP f/2.0 front camera. The earpiece is right above it.

Looking around the device, you have the power button on the left side, the volume rockers on the right, and a headphone jack, the mic, a USB Type-C port, and a single volume grill at the bottom.

Powering the Realme 5 Pro is an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor. Our review unit comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage. Take note that the storage is the UFS 2.1 variety, which should improve performance.

As for the battery, it has a 4,035 mAh battery which is now common among smartphones in this range. But charging should be fairly quick with the 20W VOOC fast charging support.
