We love smartphones for what they have done to make our life easier and more convenient. We update ourselves often with smartphone news in our market and around the world. But after all, what we tend to care most is inevitably the price tag. We set a budget, start looking for a device, and choose the best offer out of the basket. That is exactly the reason why affordable smartphones always have their decent shares in the market.

However, there are also a lot of other premium smartphones that carry very premium specs, but in return, attached with a hefty price tag. Recently, what are the most expensive smartphones in our market and what do they have feature such a gigantic money? Let’s take a look at these following to find out

1. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Very recently we just had the official update of Sony Xperia Z5 Premium price and release date. In the announcement, we got to know that Xperia Z5 Premium price in Philippines will be PHP 44K.

What make Sony Xperia Z5 Premium price to be that hefty is that, it is the first smartphone in the world to feature spectacular 4K display. Other Xperia Z5 Premium specs are … premium too: 3GB RAM, 23MP with fast focus of 0.03s, Snapdragon 810, 4K display and 3,450 mAh battery.

We know Sony and their product quality already. However, will many people be willing to pay such huge money to experience this technology pioneer?

2. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge can be considered one of the most signature smartphone devices up to now. The reason? It has beautiful curved screen that went oppositely to the norm when it was first introduced. While many argued the S6 Edge screen doesn’t look elegant, others went (and still go) crazy for it.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge specs contain the best Samsung can offer: Super AMOLED display, Exynos 7420 chipset, 3GB RAM and 16MP camera. However, with only 2,600 mAh, the S6 Edge battery is a concern when people come to judge this phone.

3. Apple iPhone 6S Plus

Recently launched, promoted considerably by Apple, the iPhone 6S Plus is one of the heated debates for the past days. Android fans (and Android smartphone producers) mock the iPhone 6S Plus for small 2GB RAM and “tiny” battery capacity of under 2000 mAH. iPhone users made their points of how superior the 6S Plus can be regardless of the specs figures.

For now, we don’t know about the official iPhone 6S Plus price in Philippines yet. But considering the iPhone 6 price in Philippines: (PHP 31K – PHP 42K), we guess the iPhone 6S Plus price in Philippines can possibly be around PHP 50K. WOW!!

4. Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is Samsung’s latest flagship device. It has been crowned the best display ever found in any smartphone. The device even impressed users and tech geeks by lasting up to 9 hours and 11 minutes of performance in the battery test, even though the Note 5 battery capacity is only 3000 mAH.

However, good as it may sounds, the Note 5 showed its imperfection by not featuring microSD card, which is a need many users share.

5. HTC One M9

HTC One M9 is an example for the saying “Less expectation, less disappointment”. The One M9 used to be HTC’ long awaited flagship. Everyone was looking forward to its release. But then, the smartphone turned out not as good, featuring good but not enough to impress users compared to its price tag.

HTC One M9 specs include: 3GB RAM, 20MP, 2840 mAH and Snapdragon 810.
