Vivo Y91

A bit more budget - At PHP 8,499, the Vivo Y91i has an even better design than the Y81i. It comes with a 6.22-inch HD+ panel but with a smaller and sleeker looking halo notch. Under the hood, it is also a bit more power. You will find a 1.9GHz 64-bit Snapdragon 439 octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB expandable storage, 4,030mAh battery, 13MP + 2MP PDAF dual-cam, 8MP AI selfie camera, face unlock, fingerprint scanner, 700MHz 4G LTE, dual SIM, and Android 8.1 Oreo with Funtouch OS 4.5.

If you can go for PHP 9,999, the regular Vivo Y91 is the better option. You get the same design and features from the Y91i, but it has bigger 3GB RAM for better multitasking and 64GB storage to let you put more files in your phone.

The handset also comes with IR face unlock solution. It is also the most affordable with an In-Display fingerprint scanner yet. It also goes with a dual 700MHz 4G LTE, dual SIM slots, and Android 8.1 Oreo with Funtouch OS 4.5.
