If you’re a young professional with some leftover cash from your 13th month pay or a student with a stack of red envelopes from Christmas, you might want to take the time to upgrade your aging smartphone to something that’s a little more capable. Now, there’s no need to spend an entire month’s salary on a high end phone with a large screen. The DTC GT18 Sparkle is a stylish Galaxy S4 doppelganger that brings all of the essential smartphone features at sweet SRP of Php5,290.
That’s a pretty sweet price, especially if the phone looks remotely like its press renders in real life. However, don’t expect top-shelf specs and performance. The DTC GT18 Sparkle features a 5 inch qHD screen, 1GHz dual core processor, 512MB RAM and 4GB internal storage. It also has a pretty decent 8mp rear-facing camera and 2mp front camera. To top it all off, it runs Jelly Bean 4.2 out of the box, which is what most of today’s local smartphones launch with.
Looking to grab the DTC GT18? It’s already out in stores and is actively being promoted by DTC on their Facebook page.
