Is this the cheapest Windows 10 laptop in PH?
T could very well be true. The Sparc S1 Techbook is now available on Lazada Philippines, and it’s going for P4,999 (about $98) for a limited time. Its original price is P5,499 ($108), which is still crazy low considering the Techbook is a full-fledged Windows 10 laptop with what looks like — gasp! — backlit keys.

I would look into the 13 in gaming ultrabook specs to see if these meet …
Doogee Mix is the cheapest phone with 6GB RAM, bezel-less display

Please let these be the specs and prices of the Xiaomi Redmi 5

This may be our best look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 yet
AMSUNG just announced the new Galaxy J7 Pro for the Philippine market last week, in case you haven’t heard.

ASUS ZenFone 4 Max vs ASUS ZenFone 3 Max: What has changed
HE ASUS ZenFone 3 Max (click for complete specs) was one of the better budget phones on the local market in 2016, impressing with its upmarket looks, good performance (for the price), and excellent battery life.

Sony Xperia XA1 review: Don’t sleep on this Sony
OR the past couple of years, Sony has come out with so many flagship smartphones that it’s easy to forget it still cares about its midrange game. In the previous months alone, the Xperia XZ, XZs, and XZ Premium have, in that order, rotated as the face of the Japanese firm’s Android efforts — possibly to the detriment of lesser phones that arguably offer more bang for the buck.
Sorry, iPhone 7 Plus. You’re not the fastest phone anymore
TOP the presses! The Apple iPhone 7 Plus is no longer the best-performing phone around, according to one popular benchmarking app. The HTC U11, aka the squeezable smartphone, is — and this news is yet another ringing endorsement for the Taiwan-made Android flagship.

HTC U Play review: If looks could sell
TC is making its way back to the Philippines soon, with the Taiwanese phone maker already making it known that the HTC U11 will be announced locally on July 11.

ASUS ZenFone AR price revealed — and you won’t like it
SUS has launched the ZenFone AR in its native Taiwan, (officially) revealing the price of the second-ever Tango smartphone, and the first to support Google’s Daydream VR platform.
