| This is the new vivo V27 5G |
1. vivo V27 5G - At PHP 24,999, the new vivo V27 is arguably the most competitive in this list. The device is boasting a color-changing back curved back design and one of the slimmest 3D curved displays around.
In particular, this has the 6.78-inch 3D curved AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution, the only 4nm chip you will get under PHP 25K today (2.8GHz 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7200 octa-core processor), 12GB LPDDR4X RAM, 256GB expandable storage, and a 4,600mAh battery capacity with a USB-C 66W fast charge.
For cameras, it is noteworthy as well. It uses a 50MP f/1.88 Sony IMX766V main sensor with OIS and EIS combined, 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro cam. To help its users take better Portrait images, vivo equipped this with the Aura Portrait Algorithm Feature which acts like a built-in ring light with a soft light effect.
Note: There are other very good phones in the under PHP 25K range, but they were released last year. Some of those phones include the POCO F4 5G, Infinix ZERO Ultra 5G, and OnePlus Nord 2T, to name a few. This list is particularly for those who are looking for a new early 2023 model.
