Dual camera phones have been making big waves in the market since the release of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus and Huawei P9 in 2016. Thanks to their unique imaging module, these handsets can capture great images with interesting bokeh and contrast effects or in some cases, lossless zoom in or zoom out capability.
Here in TechPinas, we believe that having a great dual camera smartphone should not break the bank. Here are our top 5 suggestions for the best affordable dual camera phones that are now available in here in the Philippines:
Cherry Mobile Flare P1 (Php 3,990) - The most affordable dual camera smartphone in the market as of today, the Cherry Mobile Flare P1 sports a 5-inch HD IPS display and 13MP+2MP rear camera combo. Inside, it runs Android 7.0 Nougat operating system with a 1.3 GHz Quad Core MediaTek MT6580 chipset, has 1GB of RAM, and comes with 16GB ROM. This Dual SIM, 3G HSPA+ enabled handset is perfect for budget-conscious mobile consumers who want to experience the benefits of a Dual Camera phone.
Cherry Mobile Flare P1 Plus (Php 5,999) - Cherry Mobile is currently trying to position itself as the best local brand in releasing Dual Camera smartphones that doesn't hurt the budget. The Cherry Mobile Flare P1 Plus, which has more powerful features and better build than the Cherry Mobile Flare P1, sports a sleek metal shell, a 5.5-inch FHD IPS display, 13MP+5MP rear camera combo, 700 MHz LTE support, fingerprint scanner for added security, 1.5 GHz Quad Core MediaTek MT6737T processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and Android 7.0 Nougat operating system.
Starmobile Knight Spectra (Php 9,680) - Pinoy Pride, this model is the Philippines' first dual camera smartphone, released in 2015, even before the iPhone 7 Plus. Recently getting a major price drop, this flagship level handset features a 5.5-inch FHD AMOLED Display, 64-Bit Octa Core Snapdragon 615 chipset, has 3GB of RAM for efficient multitasking, and comes with 32GB ROM that you can expand using the secondary hybrid nanoSIM slot that doubles as a microSD card memory expansion slot, Dual 4G LTE support, DTV functionality, 8 MegaPixel front-facing selfie cam, and a 13MP + 2MP AF with Flash camera module at the back.
LG X Cam (Php 10,990) - Korean Giant LG's take on the midrange Android smartphone with Dual Cameras at the reat is the LG X Cam. This one touts a 13MP+5MP wide angle camera setup. The handset is also equipped with a 5.2-inch Full HD display, 8 MegaPixel selfie cam in front, 64-Bit Octa Core Mediatek MT6753 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of ROM, NFC support, Non-removable Li-Ion 2520 mAh battery, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS.
Huawei GR5 2017 (Php 13,990) - Also known as Honor 6X in other territories, this metal-clad midrange model sports a dual 12MP and 2MP camera setup. Unlike the Chinese handset maker's flagship devices, the HuaweiP10 and the P10 Plus, GR5 2017's dual camera module is not co-engineered by Leica but it performs rather well considering the handset's price tag. This smartphone also features a 5.5-inch FHD IPS display, Octa Core Kirin 655 chipset, Figerprint Scanner, and EMUI 4.1 interface on top of Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, Dual SIM Capability, 4G LTE Cat4 support, and a non-removable 3,340 mAh battery pack.
