1. Realme 5 - Starting at PHP 7,990 (3GB/64GB) to PHP 9,990 (4GB/128GB), the Realme 5 is a device packed with some of the most exciting specs for the price. Not only that, but this device also performs really well for the price in real-life.
It sports a 6.5-inch HD+ notch screen w/ Gorilla Glass 3+ protection, 2.0GHz 11nm Snapdragon 665 AIE octa-core processor, 5,000mAh battery, 12MP quad-camera system, 13MP selfie cam, fingerprint scanner at the back, 4G LTE, and dual SIM slots.
This handset can be updated to the realme UI based on Android 10.
2. Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 - Some may say that this is the best under PHP 10K and I won't blame them. From PHP 7,990 (3GB/32GB), PHP 8,990 (4GB/64GB), and PHP 9,990 (4GB/128GB), it is a beast.
It uses a Gorilla Glass 5 protected 6.3-inch FHD+ notch screen, Snapdragon 665 SoC, 4,000mAh battery with USB-C 18W fast charging, 48MP quad-cam, 13MP selfie cam, fingerprint reader behind, 4G LTE, and dual SIM slots.

| OPPO A5 2020 |
3. OPPO A5 2020 - The OPPO A5 2020 has an online-only version priced at just PHP 8,990, and it is the dark horse in this list for me. It comes with similar specs to the realme 5, but it has USB-C charging port and a stereo speaker setup. The selfie cam is a bit down to 8MP though.
