Specs-wise, the Zenfone Selfie carries a decent arsenal in its hand, such as its Snapdragon 615 and a 2/3GB RAM option to choose the exact performance rate that fits your vibe. Asus’ slick selfie smartphone, the Zenfone Selfie is currently priced at around Php 11K in online stores nationwide.
Sony is one of the best, in regards to the camera performance department, so it’s not much of a shocker that the mid-ranger Xperia M5, successor to the M4 Aqua, delivered an excellent 13MP selfie performer. Considered to be one of the most highly-acclaimed mid-rangers of 2015, the Xperia M5 is a performer in the specs department or in the camera department. The Xperia M5 is currently priced at around Php 15-16K through online stores everywhere.
Another Sony mid-ranger that made it on the list is the C-series 2015 handset, the C5 Ultra. The 13MP selfie shooter equipped in the C5 Ultra is no pushover and it was currently one of the best mid-ranged 6-incher of 2015 no doubts about that. Currently, the Xperia C5 Ultra packs a Php 17-18K price tag on online stores everywhere.
HTC’s Desire Eye is an older smartphone that made it big back at 2014 and the early parts of 2015. They were one of the earlier innovators of the 13MP front and back camera pairing and even at this point, considered to be one of the huge leaps in the smartphone camera industry. The HTC One Desire Eye is still around, with a current price tag of $200 or around Php 9K.
The Oppo F1 Plus is the newest smartphone on this list and has only been made official a couple of weeks ago. The Oppo F1 Plus is the follow-up to Oppo’s camera-centric lineup, the Oppo F1 series. The Oppo F1 Plus can be easily seen as a selfie-focused smartphone, thanks to its 16MP selfie shooter, a shooter that carries a larger megapixel than its back shooter. The official price of the selfie-centric Oppo F1 Plus is at Php 21,990.
Lenovo’s older Vibe X2 Pro, like the HTC One Desire Eye, was a huge innovation then. It packs a 13MP camera pairing and despite being old still delivers a decent camera performance at this point in time. Specs lineup is a bit old, but it should have been expected, since the Vibe X2 Pro is indeed a year old handset. Currently, the Vibe X2 Pro is priced at around $303 or roughly around Php 14K on Amazon.
