Meizu M8 Lite: Available at Lazada for Only P4,620.00

June 2, 2020 By psmp Leave a Comment

Meizu is another brand that is really under rated and not much people know about. They have been here in the Philippines for roughly around a year or two and has lots of devices for sale in Lazada and other physical stores. If you do plan to buy a new entry-mid ranged type of phone at a very affordable price, well I think the Meizu M8 Lite might be the best buy for you. Having 3GBs of RAM and 32GBs of internal storage, this phone is really a bang for the buck.

Interested? Well let’s take a look at the specs sheet of the M8 Lite first:

Phone Specifications:

  • Display: 5.7 inch IPS LCD display (1440 x 720 resolution with PPI of 282)
  • 2.5D Curved Glass Display
  • RAM and ROM:
    • 3GBs of RAM and 32GBs of ROM
  • Processor : Mediatek MT6739 Quadcore (28nm)

  • Buy it on Lazada

Looking at the internals of the phone and considering the price it’s at, it’s definitely a must buy if you’re on a budget or if you are looking to buy your kids a phone. Now let’s talk about the specs a little deeper to see what the phone can offer.

Display

So let’s first talk about the display of the phone. The phone is at 5.7 inch at an 18:9 aspect ratio and 282 pixels per inch (ppi). This design type was really famous at the start of 2018 and is still acceptable till now in terms of smartphone design. It maximizes the screen that you can use on the phone considering the aspect ratio and having a ppi of 282 at a screen size of 5.7 makes the color of the screen very good to look at. There are no backlight bleeding visible looking at the sides of the screen and viewing angles are pretty good to say the least. So that’s a plus for us.

If you plan to use the phone outside though, your eyes might have a little bit of trouble looking at the screen in direct sunlight since even putting the brightness at 100% sometimes is not enough. But if you are indoors or under a shade, everything should be visible at around 80% to 90% brightness.

Camera

At the price the phone is at, we’d say the camera isn’t all that bad. The main camera sports a 13MP shooter at an aperture of f/2.2. It takes very good pictures outside and in good lighting condition. Indoors especially in low light, noises are visible in the photos but they are still good enough to satisfy most users.

The front camera is a 5 MP shooter and is a weak point of the phone. Pictures taken by the selfie camera is decent although for our taste, it feels under saturated and colors are not vibrant enough. It has a bluish-green hue to it but again, were talking about a phone sub 5k so we can’t really complain much.

Body Material

The phone is made of polycarbonate plastic with a matte finishing at the back of the phone giving the phone a premium look. Although it’s plastic, it’s not really slippery and I like the grip on the device.

You still have the fingerprint sensor on the back of the device. Buttons on the right side would be the power and volume rockers.

Battery

The phone is equipped with a 3200Mah battery which should be enough to last most users for a complete day. Since it only has an HD screen, battery consumption shouldn’t be that high and FlyMe seems to be optimized good enough to make the phone maximize its battery capacity.

One downside though is that the M8 Lite is not equipped with fast charging, so it takes approximately around two hours to two and a half to fully charge the phone.

Performance

The phone has a Mediatek MT6739 processor. This is an entry level processor which was released around the end of 2017. It has 3GBs of ram so multitasking should be okay but if you plan to run heavy applications at the same time, it’s going to be the processor that would be having the trouble of keeping them in the background.

The MT6739 is only a quad core processor so handling heavy apps or games would take a toll both on the performance and battery of the phone. Playing MOBAs like Arena of Valor is smooth enough although it should be set to lowest graphics to avoid any stuttering in the frame rate of the game and avoid overheating the phone. If you plan FPS games like PUBG, expect some hiccups here and there even if it’s already at the lowest setting (30fps).

Meizu M8 Lite Reviews

If you go over to Lazada and check the reviews of those who bought the phone, it seems like most of them are really happy with it. Rated at 4.5 stars with 37 ratings, it seems like the phone is definitely a good buy. Most of them are happy with the performance they get and they even said that battery optimization on the phone is really great for them. Take a look at some of their reviews below.

Feedback from Oliver 2

One Lazada happy and satisfied customer, Oliver 2, said that the phone is in its best condition when it arrived. The person who delivered the device even waited for me to open the item to ensure that everything is in place.

Feedback from Cristina F

Another Lazada customer, who was very much satisfied said that the phone is so thin that it looked so elegant. She even mentioned that the phone is perfect for playing Mobile Legends because it’s perfect for its scale.

As with what we mentioned, most of the cons on the phone comes from the processor they have given it. 

Final Thoughts:

For those looking to buy a backup phone or if you are in a tight budget, this is for you. It gives you everything that you need in a smartphone and runs well. But if you have an extra P2,000 or P3,000, I suggest to consider getting the RealMe 3, Redmi Note 7 or Infinix Hot S4.

Are you looking for a smartphone that is fit for everyone’s budget? Are you looking for a high-quality and affordable smartphone? Try the Meizu M8 Lite and see for yourself!

Camera

The camera is astounding. With a 48 MP dual rear camera, it’s like you have the world on your fingertips. Taking photos under good and natural lighting condition would capture high-quality and crisp photos.

Under low light, however, it might not be as good as you imagined it would be. Extreme lighting conditions (too much light, too dark) could give clouded touches of any image.

The selfie camera is enhanced with added portrait settings that complete the fact that it’s a smartphone for professional photography.

Battery

As powerful as it may seem, it’s undeniably powerful and long-lasting. As a matter o fact, not many smartphones have a 4,000 mAh battery capacity. Based on tests, it can run for a total of 36 hours of talk time; WCDMA phone calls, on the other hand, would last it for 26.7 hours.

Video playback tests saw it ran for 12 hours while Audio playback for a total of 118.7 hours.

RealMe 3 Smartphone Review: Midrange Beast at Php 6990

May 18, 2019 By psmp Leave a Comment

RealMe if you aren’t aware is a sub brand of Oppo using the same OS that they promote. Just recently they release a new phone, the RealMe 3, which is an absolute beast for the price you can get it at, Php 6990. It’s not yet available in physical stores but you can buy the phone at Shopee and it’s almost at par with Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7. Let’s take a look at the specification the RealMe 3 has.

Review of RealMe3
This image was taken from My Smart Price | MySmartPrice.com

Phone Specification

  • Display: 6.2 inches HD+ (Corning Gorilla Glass)
  • Aspect Ratio: 19:9 at 88.30% screen to body ratio
  • Ram and Rom:
    • 3GBs of RAM and 32GBs of ROM

    • 4 Cortex-A53 clocked at 2.0ghz and 4 Cortex-A73 clocked at 2.0ghz

    • Front: 13MP Selfie Cam
  • Price: P6, 990 available only at Shopee
  • You can purchase it on Shopee

Looking at the info given above, the phone is balanced in almost all aspects. From the processor to the amount of RAM given, it should be enough for almost all smartphone users.

Now, let’s dive in and take a look more at what the device takes pride on.

Read: Best New Smartphones Under P10, 000 You can Buy in the Philippines

Display

The only aspect of this device which is the only downside is the screen. It’s not that bad but not the best for its segment. The RealMe 3 has an HD+ display having the dew drop notch with makes it look really premium. If you check the display, colors are very vibrant and no bleeding are seen on the phone’s edges.

Since it’s only HD+, viewing the phone under direct sunlight can be a bit troublesome even at 100% brightness. The only thing good about having the HD display is that when you launch applications, it’s faster since less pixels and resolution are needed by the apps.

Camera

Being a sub brand of Oppo means carrying what they’re most known for, their phone’s camera and this one is no different. Although the 13MP is regularly seen on most phone on the midrange segment, the RealMe 3 has one of the best shooters perhaps because of the good software it has coupled with the hardware. The Camera App has lots of features to start with, from Nightmode (Nightscape), Hybrid HDR for both lens, Chroma Boost and Portrait Mode. Bokeh shots looks really great and accurate with what you’re taking. Pictures taken show vibrant color but in dark areas, expect noises in the image.

Read: Honor 10 Lite User and In-Depth Review: Huawei Nova 3i’s Little Brother at P8, 990.00

For the front shooter, it also takes excellent photo and unlike other phones that uses color Operating System (OS), this one is not oversaturated and over processed.

Body Material

The phone is made of plastic, but one thing that we like about it is that it doesn’t feel cheap at all. The gradient back is really nice and gives off the premium look of the phone. The phone is sleek in terms of thickness.

 If you look at the right side of the device, you’ll see the power button and volume rockers can be seen on the left side. Although we are used to seeing both on only one end, the placement is not really bad and can easily reached even if you’re using only one hand to operate the phone.

Battery

Sporting a 4230mah battery and good OS optimization, this one should last most users for a complete day of standard usage. If you use the phone mainly for browsing the net or watching youtube videos, it can last roughly around 8 hours of continued use. One thing that helps save battery is the HD screen. Yes, resolution is lower but with lower pixels comes with lower battery consumption.

It’s also capable of 5V2A fast charging so charging up the phone from zero to a hundred should take roughly around an hour and forty five to two hours. That already quite fast compare to phones that are only capable of 1A.

Performance

This is where the Realme 3 shines. The phone is equipped with a Mediatek Helio P60 processor clocked at 2.0 ghz for all of its core. Mediatek in the past has been known for good performance at the cost of overheating and slowing down after prolonged continued use but this isn’t the case anymore especially for the Realme 3. The processor is 12nm in size meaning that it uses less power and doesn’t overheat too much. Multitasking shouldn’t be a problem for the phone and gaming should be smooth for most of the casual games available.

For MOBAs like Mobile Legends, it can run at the highest setting with high frame rate on with little to no frame drops. For games like PUBG though, you might consider putting the settings to roughly around medium since this is a heavy game both CPU and GPU wise. Performance is almost at par with Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7.

RealMe 3 Reviews on Shopee

Review from marcguadiz

Marcguadiz, one Shopee user, expressed his satisfaction on the fact that he was able to get the phone at a lower price.

RealMe 3 Smartphone Review
This image was taken from Shopee PH | Shopee.ph

Bankaii, another Shopee user who purchased the device was very much satisfied with the service and the device itself.

wow! just wow! the phone is damn excellent and such a beauty! design, camera, built and of course GAMING! all is perfect and darn worth it for the price, THANK YOU REALME! :)”

Read: Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 Available for P9, 690.00 in Shopee

RealMe currently only has an official store via Shopee as of this time. If you head over to the product page, you’ll see that this phone has a 4.9 out of 5 rating given by 1668 people. This is only a proof of how satisfied people are with the phone and its price. Take a look at some of the reviews below:

Final thoughts

The phone is a beast overall. Processor is similar with the Oppo F9 but a huge difference in terms of pricing. If you have extra money, you could opt-in for the 3/64gb version for just P7, 990.

Also, if you are thinking whether to buy this one or the RedMi Note 7, the main thing that you should think about is whether you are a heavy gamer or not.

If you are a casual user and only plays game from time to time, go with the RealMe 3. It uses less battery and plays games smoothly. For those who prioritizes gaming, go with the RedMi Note 7. It has a much better processor which can handle heavy games much better.

Looking at the above specs, the phone is looking pretty good for its price when it comes to its specifications. If you compare it to both the Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 and Oppo’s A3S, would definitely be the one that would stand out among the three taking into account the processor and screen size.

But if you’d like to know the device more, see our thoughts below on the overall capability of the phone.

Camera

Oppo has always been known for its outstanding camera (especially the selfie cam) regardless of what level their smartphone is. Almost all of their phones (entry, mid and flagship) has most of the time dominated their counterparts in other brand and this one is no different. The main camera sports a dual sensor, one being a 13MP and a depth sensor of 2MP which gives portrait photos a nice bokeh effect. The main camera we’d say would be at par with the quality the honor 9 lite and 10 lite has. For low light shots, you can’t really expect a lot from it given the price but all in all it’s good.

Now over to the front selfie camera, it has an 8MP front shooter. Selfies in good lighting look really great, although beautification can sometimes be too harsh even if you set it 3 or 4 but you could always set it to your liking. In low-light, shots are filled with noise but the picture still looks good.

Body Material

The Oppo A5S’ design is good overall. The back is made of plastic but it doesn’t feel cheap at all. It doesn’t attract much fingerprint. The camera placement is different from what were used to and is placed horizontally at the top and fingerprint is placed in the top middle portion of the phone. It’s nice to see that they are reinstating the fingerprint scanner on this one unlike the A3s which only has facial recognition.

The sides of the phone is also made of plastic. On the right side, you’ll see the power button and on the left is the volume keys. Placement of both power and volume keys are good and are reachable even by small hands.

Read: Meizu M6S User Reviews at P8, 490.00

Display

The A5S has an HD+ screen with a PPI density of 271. It also has the waterdrop notch which maximizes the screen to body ratio. The HD+ screen when compared to other phones is outstanding. Colors are great and looks really natural. Although when you are under direct sunlight, you might need to put the brightness to maximum for you to be able to see everything on the phone.

Performance

Looking at the processor of the phone, in terms of using it as a daily driver, it can run all your needs from surfing the internet, watching YouTube and browsing through Facebook. Since it already has 3GBs of RAM, multitasking should be okay. The only downside of the Oppo A5S’s performance is in terms of gaming.

The Mediatek Helio P35 is not a bad processor but not the best as well. If you plan to play games like mobile legends, you can set it to all high but expect some hiccups here and there and frame drops as well. If you use High Frame Rate mode, it would run on 60 fps but if there are a lot of  frame changes in your game, the frame rates usually drop to somewhere around 30 to 40 fps.

3For heavy games like PUBG Mobile and the likes, its best to set it at the lowest possible  option to avoid the phone heating and have a smooth gameplay.

Battery

The A5S is equipped with a 4230 MAH of battery which is really great. This surely is one of the good side to this phone since most phone under the entry level are equipped with 3000 mAh. Charging the phone however can take roughly around 2 hours since it doesn’t have fast charging.

We really tried hoping that Oppo was successful in equipping this one model with the VOOC quick charge but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Because of the HD+ screen of the phone, it would most likely last you a whole day  if you are just using the phone casually for browsing the net, playing games, and the like.

Oppo A5S Review

Looking at Lazada and Shopee, only few people have tried the device, but a lot of people are inquiring about the specs of the product. But if you want a more in depth review and comparison, there are some YouTube videos available online that you can check comparing both the Oppo A5S, Huawei Y6 Pro (2019) and the Oppo A3S.

One of the most notable reviews done in YouTube would be Yugatech’s review. They follow strict format and they are honest with both the advantages and the downsides of the device.

The same as with our verdict, they also pick this one over the others.

What are our final thoughts?

If you are looking for a device at the P6, 990 price point, this is really one of the best choices available as of this moment. However, there are some few options available as well, if you’d like to check them out, head over to our review on the RealMe 3 (RealMe is Oppo’s sub brand and is somewhat the low-end version of the brand), the Infinix Hot S3 and Infinix Hot S4 which was just recently released. All of these phones are below the P10, 000 range so it’s definitely considered to be a mid-ranged smartphone but with powerful specifications.

Honor 10 Lite User and In-Depth Review: Huawei Nova 3i’s Little Brother at P8, 990.00

May 1, 2019 By psmp Leave a Comment

Honor, if you aren’t aware, is a sub-brand of the more famous brand, Huawei. We already made a review a while ago on the Honor 9 Lite, which for its price range was a really good device. Now let’s take a look at another device that they recently launched here in the Philippines, the Honor 10 lite.

Honor 10 Lite
This image was taken from eBay | eBay.com

The Honor 10 lite comes in two variants 3gb Ram and 32gb Rom version and a 3gb Ram and a 64gb Rom version. First let’s take a quick look at the specification of the phone.

  • 19:5:9 Screen Ratio (~415 ppi)

Read: Lazada Phone Shopping: Lazada Phone Reviews

With the spec sheet given above, this phone is looking really good for its price point. I mean you can even consider this phone as the Huawei Nova 3i’s little brother since they have the same processor, the Kirin 710.

Now let’s go through with what we think of the device. Don’t worry, we didn’t just collect information from users of the phone, but we also have a unit ourselves.

Key features:

Camera

First let’s talk about the main camera. Similar with new phones coming out of the market, the honor 10 lite sports a dual-lens system which is perfect for capturing portrait shots.  It has a 13MP main camera lens and a 2MP depth sensor which gives off that nice bokeh effect for portrait shots.

Moving over to the front camera, it carries a 24MP camera which is really good for taking selfies. If you aren’t aware, the honor 10 lite was marketed specifically as a selfie eccentric phone, and it really does take good selfies.

Coupled with good cameras, the honor 10 lite packs a lot of camera features as well. You can enable AI photography, which automatically detects what type of picture you are trying to take. It can go from sceneries, to portrait, to food and even plants.

AR stickers are also available if you feel like having some quick fun with its camera.

For super low-light photography, you can’t really expect too much for its price range but it’s still good enough to satisfy our needs. You can also enable night mode on this phone which converts very dark pictures to lighter ones since it needs you to hold the phone for a couple of seconds and it will automatically pick the best exposure and lighting for the image being taken.

Read: Infinix Note 4 User Review at P6, 999 with 32GB ROM, 3GB RAM

Body Material

The overall design of the Honor 10 lite is really great. The back is made of plastic but it doesn’t look cheap at all. They added that glossy finish to back so that when light hits it, it reflects over the light and give of a really shiny look. Although one thing to take note is that since it’s made of plastic, fingerprints easily stick to the backside, so might want to use the free case included when you buy the phone.

The sides are made of metal and the power button is found on the upper right side of the phone.  Overall build, it feels really sturdy.

Display

It sports a FHD display, with a PPI (pixels per inch) density of 415. It also sports the new waterdrop display which gives you more screen to use on the phone and a better screen to body ratio. Compared to the notch that we see in phones like the Nova 3i, Pocofone etc., the waterdrop notch is a much better design and gives you that feeling that it maximizes the screen on the phone.

If you were to go outside under direct sunlight, the screen is still viewable. I’d say putting the brightness to around 80% to 90% would be the best to be able to read things on your phone.

As we said, it has a Full HD display but one good thing about EMUI is that it gives its user the capability of setting the screen resolution over to HD+ to be able to conserve battery.

Performance

We have made some test here and there on the phone and it was able to keep up with apps that we use on a daily basis. So if you’re planning to use the phone as a daily driver, it would definitely suit your needs. As we said earlier, it packs the Kirin 710 and a GPU of Mali-G51, the same one that the Nova 3i hasso it should be at par with it. The only difference is the RAM, so multitasking would be better on the 3i.

In terms of gaming, we have tested a few MOBA games on the phone and we were able to play them at full graphics and 60 fps with little to no frame drops. But with this settings, a little heating should be expected, so we suggest putting the graphic settings to around medium to conserve battery life as well.

We also tried PUBG, a graphics heavy game. It runs pretty smooth. You can put it to a max of 60 FPS and HDR graphics but expect lots of frame drops. If you set it over to balanced, expect a consistent 30 fps with little to no frame drops.

Battery

The device is packed with a 3,400 mah battery. It can last you the whole day for casual use like calling, texting and taking [pictures from time to time but if you plan to use the phone for gaming or browsing sns, you might want to bring a powerbank with you since it might last you about an average of 5-6 hours for medium to heavy use.

Honor 10 Lite Reviews/Customer feedback:

Here comes the good part. As we know, the Honor 10 Lite is being sold in Lazada, Shopee and some physical stores and those who buy the phone are bound to give feedbacks on it especially if they buy it online. Taking a look at the product on both Lazada and Shopee, those who have already both the device seems to be really happy and satisfied for their good buy.

Honor 10 Lite review

Taking a look at the reviews on Lazada, not a lot of reviews are posted but almost everyone is satisfied. Out of 5, the phone has a rating of 4.9. Customers were really happy on how good the phone is. Delivery wise, they were also saying that most of them got the phone within a day or two. And more thing that they are extremely happy about are the freebies. Currently if you but the 32GBs variant, you’ll be able to get an Honor Band 4 smartwatch, Honor headphones, Tumbler, Sports Armband, Luggage Bag, and a Ringstand which should total out to around P1, 000.00 pesos worth of freebies.

Honor 10 Lite

The same goes to Shopee’s customers. The phone currently has a rating of 4.8 and around 442 people had rated the product. Delivery time was great as well for the most of them and they, too were really happy since they have gotten the same freebies as well.

Final Thoughts

The Honor 10 lite for its price to performance cost is absolutely a bang for the buck. It’s an overall good phone. From pictures to gaming, it can live up to your expectation and you definitely won’t be disappointed.

Construction

The Huawei Y7 Pro 2019, just like the Huawei Y9 2019 have the same unique structure and design. Given that both of them come from the same Y-series, their overall look is kind of eerie. The phone has a glossily shining polycarbonate back panel with a color pattern which looks premium and sophisticated.

You can never go wrong with it because the bezels are slim; you’d never notice the bezels on the sides but the bezels on the top and at the bottom of the screen are noticeable.

Read: Infinix Note 4 User Review at P6, 999 with 32GB ROM, 3GB RAM

The screen is already pre-installed with a screen protected; although you have to be careful because it doesn’t have the famous Gorilla Glass protection.

Display

Since it comes with a 19:9 HD + Display with a 6.26-inch screen and a 1520 x 720 resolution, you can definitely expect high-quality content in photos, videos, and in gaming. It’s excellent to be a device dedicated to video-watching.

One good thing about it is that even under sunlight, it can still be used even with 70 to 80 percent brightness.

Read: In-depth Huawei Nova 2i Review – Philippines

A downside is that it won’t be able to play 1080p YouTube videos so if you’re more picky, then you might have a problem because it can only reach 720p.

Battery

The Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 boasts with a 4, 000 mAh battery capacity which can be considered as high average in its price range. According to one user, the device’s battery lasted for as long as 14 hours and 9 minutes. This figure is substantially longer than its cousin, the Y9 2019.

The video loop test which was ran at:

  • 1080p movie
  • Airplane mode
  • 50% brightness
  • 50% audio with earphones

made the phone last for a total of 17 hours and 25 minutes. The battery life in accordance to its price is pretty impressive.

Camera

If you are a fan of photography, you should definitely consider the Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 in your choices of smartphones. The camera functionality is actually self-explanatory and is not as complicated as other devices and operating systems.

There are pre-built five (5) different modes for the rear camera mode. These are: Beauty, Aperture, Photo, Video, and the More option.

Rear cameras

Talking about image quality, the 13 MP + 2 MP dual rear cameras can produce a decent photo even under dimmed light. If you use it under normal lighting conditions, then you are in for a treat. You just have to be careful because since it has a high megapixel quality, the colors and contrast might be washed out if a photo is taken when moving.

Front camera

The front “selfie” camera, on the other hand, can help you produce a decent photo if taken under regular and normal lighting. Low-light condition images, on the other hand, would deteriorate the qualities of the shot.

Nevertheless, it’s better compared to the rear cameras when a photo gets taken under low or dimmed lighting conditions.

Overall performance

Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 is the chipset that powers the Huawei Y7 Pro 2019. This configuration is similar to Oppo’s A3s 3GB which is known to be one of the more popular mid-ranged smartphones of 2018.

It can flawlessly operate simple tasks like social media posting, browsing the web, streaming videos, and transferring of files. Because the phone has little-to-no bezels on it, the Face Unlock feature is accurate and is reliable.

High-quality games would be run on low frame rates because those games have intense graphics. Nevertheless, some games like PUBG, Mobile Legends, and other games with the same quality can be operated and is guaranteed to run smoothly with just occasional frame lags.

Those are the key functionalities of the Huawei  Y7 Pro 2019. Now, let’s take a look at the feedback from the customers who purchased it through Shopee PH.
