Mid-year Android smartphone buyers guide

Looking for a new smartphone?


Php25,000 more or less - LG Optimus 2X. Dual Core is here. With the arrival of the LG Optimus 2X we finally have a dual core smartphone being offered officially in the Philippines. The Optimus 2X's 4-inch 480 x 800 screen and 512MB of RAM, does not match the sheer size of the giant 4.3-inch display and the massive 768MB of RAM of the HTC Desire HD. The IPS display great, but is still not as good as the Super AMOLED display of the Samsung Galaxy S. The 8MP shooter of the Optimus 2X is not as good as the camera on Sony Ericsson ZPERIA Arc X12. In other words, Optimus 2X does not beat all phones in all categories.

But with a dual core Tegra 2 chipset, 1080p video recording and output via HDMI a front cam and 8GB of internal storage at a lower than expected Php27,900 suggested retail price (and as low as Php25,900 from CMK Cellphones) it is the most future proof phone you can buy right now. Among the four options we mentioned, twelve months from now, it is the one which will not yet feel obsolete. For that reason alone we recommend it for the power user.

It costs just a bit more than the Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy S and is actually cheaper Arc.There really is no reason to get anything else.


Php20,000 more or less - LG Optimus Black. In 2010 the HTC Desire was the standard by which all other Androids were measured. Now we have the Desire S. The HTC Desire S is the old Desire updated to just a HTC Desire HD specifications with a smaller 3.7-inch screen. A true Android 2.3 phone it comes with a front camera. At Php21,700 it fits the need for the average users for a smartphone.

We think, the standard has to give way this year. The LG Optimus Black P970's TI OMAP 3630 1 GHz processor, PowerVR 530 SGX graphics and 512MB of RAM is not as fast as the Desire S 1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU and 768MB of RAM, but it does come in at a lower price. 

At a lower Php19,900 suggested retail price (and as low as Php18,400 from CMK Cellphones), with the larger 4-inch ultra bright 700-nit display and thin 9.2 mm case, the Optimus Black really does look like the better deal.. 

You also have the Samsung Galaxy i9003 SL and the older HTC Desire for about 17K. But for the additional 1.5K to 2K you will be paying for the Optimus Black, we recommend the Optimus Black.


Php15,000 more or less - Samsung Galaxy Ace. At Php13,700, what the Galaxy Ace has going for it except against its similarly price competitors is 3.5-inch 320 x 480 screen and having the best camera among the bunch. The Ace 5MP snapper produced better pictures than even 8MP units on higher end phones (except for the SE XPERIA Arc). Basically, that it has the screen of an iPhone 3GS. When buying touchscreen phone, adequate screen size and resolution should be a main consideration. The Galaxy Ace is what delivers the adequate screen size and resolution at the lowest price, and packs a good camera as a bonus. As for the rest of the phone, with an 800MHz processor and a decent amount of RAM, it will get the job done.

There is also the newly released HTC Wildfire S, and we did a comparison a few days ago. But wit the larger screen and better camera, we recommend the Galaxy Ace.



Php10,000 more or less - LG Optimus One P500. At a lower price of Php9,990 the old warrior can again lay claim to the best bang for the buck Android in the market. It has a 3.2-inch screen like most of its lower end competition, but its higher 320 x 480 pixel resolution stands out in the sea of low cost Androids with 240 x 320 screens. Its 600MHz processor 512MB of RAM, at least matches up with all its sub-10K counterparts. There is little reason to recommend anything else in the budget class.


Need a physical QWERTY keyboard?

Some of us cannot make the transition to pure touchscreen, and HTC is happy to meet your need:


HTC Desire Z. HTC offers a 3.7-inch Android with one killer feature, a phyical keyboard with an innovative z-hinge. While some have felt that the z-hinge may be flimsy, so far no horror stories have come up about someone breaking one. The z-hinge is innovative because instead of sliding the keyboard straight out which results in a flat keyboard, it "lifts" the phone over the keyboard allowing for raised keys. Basically, is it is the best slide out keyboard I have ever tried.

Equipped with a 3.7 inch 480 x 800 resolution screen, a 800MHz Qualcomm processor and 512GB or RAM and 1.5GB of memory with a bundled 8GB MicroSD card. The price of this one varies wildly from seller to seller. But you can find it for as low as Php19,400 with an official HTC Warranty.

What is the Ultrabook?

Asus UX21

Intel has announced a new category of super slim laptops that it plans to call “Ultrabooks.”

These devices are supposed to have thicknesses of 0.8-inches or less, will use Intel’s 2nd Generation Core Series CPUs (“Ivy Bridge") to be release later this year, and be available this fall. ASUS’s announced the first Ultrabook, the UX21, which has an 11.6-inch screen and will weighs just 2.2 pounds. Pricing is supposed to be at about US$1,000.

Basically, the next generation of MacBook Airs and MacBook Air heir apparents. Expect to see them on the shelves by early 2012.

The Philippine Smartphone wars

We have been tracking mobile phone usage using StatCounter's service which gathers data on what mobile phone operating systems Filipino users use to access the Internet.


Nokia Symbian based phones are still the most common platforms used by Filipino users to  access the Internet. Given the years of Nokia domination in the country it will be some time before the old Symbian handsets disapear from the market. 

Nokia/Symbian


May 2010 - 63.28%
May 2011 - 53.68%

Still that represents a almost 10% drop in usage for the same period last year.

Following Nokia at second and third place are Apple phones and smartphones running on Google's Android operating systems.

Apple/iOS


May 2010 - 14.24%
May 2011 - 18.53%

Apple made grade strides in usage market share in the past year. Apple smartphone acceptance in the Philippine is hampered by high cost. But as old iPhones filter there way into the second hand market, more users are able to acquire these expensive devices. 

Shopping in Greenhills yesterday for a case, it is amazing how many Apple iPhone 3G's and 3GS models are available at the second hand stores.

Various/Google Android
May 2010 - 0.34%
May 2011 - 8.66%

Back in May 2010, Google's Android was a unknown quantity in the Philippines. In the past year, its web usage in the Philippines has gone up by over 2500%. At this rate, it should displace Apple's iOS at number 2 by the end of the year. Given that Android handsets can be had for less than 8K brand new, Android rise is not all that surprising.

RIM's BlackBerry has never been widely distributed in the Philippine Market, being limited mainly to corporate clients. Changes in the packaging of BlackBerry plans have helped improved its market share. Probably, a bit too late though.

RIM/BlackBerry OS
May 2010 - 0.67%
May 2011 - 2.00%

Windows Phone 7 still has to make a dent in the Philippines, which is though since Windows Mobile itself was never a significant player in the country. Right now it holds a bit less 1/100th of 1%.

Various/Windows Phone 7
May 2010 - NA
May 2011 - 0.08%

Worldwide DailyTech reports that this is how sales look (note Philippine stats are based on Internet usage and not on sales):

Google Android - 36%
Nokia Symbian - 27%
Apple iOS - 16.8%
RIM BlackBerry - 13%
Windows Phone 7 - 3.6%
Well, that is how things look right now.

Acer Aspire One 722 (AO-722-C52) and 12.1-inch Asus Eee PC 1215B

Update: Acer has released a updated Acer Aspire One O722-C60, details at this link.

Two new AMD Fusion powered laptops are now available in the market. By we are going to greet these two with a yawn. The first is the 11.6-inch Acer Aspire One 722 (AO-722-C52) with a suggested retail price of Php21,990 pre-installed with Windows 7 Starter. The second is the 12.1-inch Asus Eee PC 1215B with a suggested retail price of Php19,990 without an operating system.

Acer Aspire One 722

While more AMD Fusion options are welcome, these two are equipped with the slower AMD Fusion Brazos C-50 with 1.0 GHz dual core processor and Radeon 6250 graphics processing unit. This processor and graphics combination is more than adequate, providing performance on par with a dual core Atom with Nvidia Ion.

Asus Eee PC 1215B
But before you buy one of these C-50 units take a look at the HP Pavillion DM1-3016AU with the more powerful AMD Fusion Zacate E-350 with 1.6 GHz dual core processor and Radeon 6310 graphics processing unit. The HP Pavillion DM1-3016AU, has twice the processing power and 30% more graphics punch than these C-50 units.

The Acer Aspire One 722 (AO-722-C52) and Asus Eee PC 1215B do come with larger 500GB hard drives, as against the 320GB drive on the HP Pavillion DM1-3016AU. The slower C-50 might also mean longer battery life than a Zacate powered system but, we need to wait for more reviews and user feedback to verify this.

Could be an interesting option if the battery life is significantly longer, but right now the the HP Pavillion DM1-3016AU is looking like the value for money option among the three.

Update: Asus has released an E-450 version of its Eee PC 1215B. Looks like it might be the best of the bunch,

The HTC Wildfire S is here...


...should you buy it? The HTC Wildfire S has now landed on Philippine shores with a suggested retail price of Php14,950. Authorized reseller Top Electronics has it listed at Php14,000. The question is, is this the one to buy.

The HTC Wildfire S is touchscreen smart phone with a 3.2-inch LCD screen. It is an update of the HTC Wildfire released last year, with a slightly faster 600MHz processor,  more RAM (512MB of RAM), updated design and coming Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) installed. The most significant change with the newer model is the higher 320 x 480 screen resolution compared to the 240 x 320 resolution of the older model.

Against the old Wildfire. So how does the new Wildfire S stack up against its older sibling. You will still find the original Wildfire on the shelves for about Php11,000, but I would pay the addition Php3K and get the newer version. A 240 x 320 screen resolution is just too low to enjoy the Android operating system, and even on small 3.2-inch screens looks pixelized. The 320 x 480 resolution looks nice and sharp even on larger screens. But adding the 3K more for the higher resolution screen does put some other very interesting options into consideration.

Against the Samsung Galaxy Ace. The first stumbling block in the way is the Samsung Galaxy Ace which has a larger 3.5-inch screen with the same 320x480 resolution. The Galaxy Ace also comes with a faster 800MHz processor and the same Adreno 200 graphics processing unit as the HTC Wildfire S. Both units come with 5MP camera's, but the the 5MP unit on the Galaxy Ace does a better job of rendering sharper pictures. Neither the Galaxy Ace or the Wildfire S can take 720p video, both being limited to VGA quality video, and neither is very good at that either. Priced at Php13,700, the Galaxy Ace is also cheaper. 

So, does the Wildfire have anything in its favor? Overall it has a better build quality and the HTC Sense user interface is my favorite manufacturer customized user interface. But these are not decisive. While the Galaxy Ace does not feel as nice in the hand with its plastic shell it does have the same Gorilla Glass display as the Wildfire S and the Samsung TouchWiz user interface while lacking the eye candy of HTC Sense does have several advantages. 

The other advantage of the Wildfire S is Flash support in the browser through Flash Lite.  Flash lite is not full flash support so you cannot play flash games or display more complex flash elements, but it does allow you to interact with falsh banners and play YouTube video in the web browser.
Between these two it is a though call, but the larger 3.5-inch screen and better camera tilt the balance in favor of the Galaxy Ace in my book.

Against the LG Optimus One. The bang for the buck Android has pretty much been the LG Optimus One since its release. The LG Optimus One P500 also comes with 3.2-inch 320 x 480 screen a 600MHz processor. The Optimus One does not have flash support and it does not have the near scratch proof Gorilla Glass display, but at Php9,900 is it significantly cheaper than the HTC Wildfire S. 

Against the Samsung Wave II S8530. At Php14,600 you find the Samsung Wave II. With a 1GHz Arm Cortex processor and a PowerVR SGX540 graphics processing unit, a 3.7-inch SLCD screen 480 x 800 resolution screen a very good 5MP camera and excellent 720p video recording, the Wave II blows away all competitors in the hardware category for under 15K. But the Wave II runs on Samsung's Bada OS, and not Android. This makes it more like a very good feature phone, rather than a smartphone. Still it will take care of you basic call, messaging, social networking and web browsing needs.

Summary. When the HTC Wildfire came out, it did so in a less crowded market. Now with the Galaxy Ace and the lower prices on the Optimus One and the Wave II, the Wildfire S is less competitive than the original Wildfire during its release. Should you buy this phone. If you I cannot live without HTC's Sense, that is the only reason to buy the HTC Wildfire over its competition. While I love HTC units and Sense, I really would have to recommend that Galaxy Ace or Optimus One over the Wildfire S.

June 3, 2011 update - The price is now down to Php13,000.
