Our thoughts

The OPPO Reno3 comes with a great display and capable cameras at PHP 18,990. It's probably the best selfie phone in its class as well. This should be a great social media and everyday phone.

However, the Nova 5T is still a beast, especially for its new PHP 15,990 price tag. Its previous-gen flagship chipset is just hard to ignore.
