Octa-core smartphones are becoming increasingly affordable these days. However, if you’d rather not risk it with a local brand, you might wait until May 1 when the Alcatel Flash Plus finally reaches our shores. The Flash Plus will sport a 5.5 inch HD IPS display with a surprisingly powerful 1.5GHz MT6752M octa-core SoC under the hood to go along with a 13mp rear-facing camera that’s powered by a Sony IMX214 sensor.

The price tag is surprisingly within reach of most budget-minded Pinoys too. It’s to be priced at just a little over Php6k, which not only gives you a large screen and powerful octa-core processor, but a decent spec sheet as well. You’re getting 2GB RAM, a choice between 16GB and 32GB of internal storage, and dual SIM capability with support for LTE on both SIM slots!

  6. Big batt, big OGS screen, 2g ram, below 6.5k, that spells trouble for the competition especially the locals. In fact little by little the locals are already pushed further away to oblivion. It won’t be long casualties will start to come up. My prediction is O+ will start the ball rolling, Americans just don’t have the stomach for a bruising battle.
