Strengths

Oppo A3 4G

The Oppo A3 4G is an intriguing smartphone that boasts premium features at an affordable price point of 8,999 pesos. With its sleek design and iPhone-like aesthetics, it's hard to ignore its attractive exterior. The phone also comes with a range of impressive specs, including a 6nm Snapdragon 680 processor, 128GB storage, and 5,100mAh battery. But is it worth the hype? Our review will delve into the device's performance, camera capabilities, and gaming experience to help you decide if this phone is truly worth its price tag.

ZTE Blade A53 Pro

The ZTE Blade A53 Pro - a budget smartphone that falls short on several fronts. With a subpar display resolution, outdated micro USB charging port, and questionable camera setup, this device struggles to justify its $150 price tag. Add to that a weak processor, limited storage, and no NFC or 5G capabilities, and you're left with a phone that feels like a major compromise. Can it still be considered a budget option, or is it simply not worth the money?
