10. HUAWEI nova 3i (P smart+)
Pros
The HUAWEI nova 3i has practically checked everything on everyone's checklist, with the exception of the inclusion of a dated Micro USB, which at this point has still baffled the many.

The HUAWEI nova 3i retails in three color gradient variants – Black, Pearl White, and Iris Purple.

8. OPPO F9
Pros
The OPPO F9's main takeaway is its VOOC Flash Charge inclusion which, according to OPPO, can provide a good 2-hour talk with just a 5-minute charge. The fast charging technology is supported by over 500 patents, utilizes low voltage and banks on a high current charging solution. It also relies on five levels of protection layers from its adapter, right to the port, and interior of the device, easily making it one of the safest smartphones out there.
Beyond its impressive battery features, the OPPO F9 is also kingly in terms of its aesthetics. It comes with a 6.3-inch FHD+ waterdrop screen which packs a staggering 90.8% screen-to-body ratio and a much taller 19.5:9 aspect ratio.
The OPPO F9 is also noted to have been the first variant of the famed F series to sport dual rear cameras.
The device works on a robust 3,500mAh battery.

6. Samsung Galaxy A50
Pros
Like the Samsung Galaxy M20, the Samsung Galaxy A50 is also an all-rounder smartphone, only more feature-filled and secure. The smartphone's most attractive features are without a doubt its 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display and its triple-camera setup. For the former, Samsung finally warms up to the notch idea and made it even better with its already established display.
As for its camera setup, Samsung elects to equip the Samsung Galaxy A50 with complete sensors, courtesy of a 25MP main camera module, an 8MP ultra wide lens, and a 5MP depth sensor. The South Korean smartphone giant is also opted to arm it with a large 25MP selfie camera module.
The Samsung Galaxy A50 also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor, a fast battery charging feature, a market-dependent NFC, and Bluetooth 5.0. The Samsung Galaxy A50 runs on the latest Android 9.0 Pie.

5. HUAWEI Y9 (2019)
Pros
The HUAWEI Y9 (2019) mirrors the winning formula of the HUAWEI nova 3i, with youthful features and powerful hardware offerings. It's powered by HiSilicon Kirin 710, coupled with flexible 3GB/4GB/6GB of RAM tiers and expandable 64GB/128GB of internal storage options.
As it is, it is also equipped with quadruple cameras, two on the rear and two on the front. It also comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader and a large 4,000mAh battery with a fast charging feature.
Also a confusion for most is HUAWEI's decision to arm the HUAWEI Y9 (2019) with a dated Micro USB port.

Pros
The OPPO F11 Pro is not a perfect smartphone, though. Coming with some noted missteps like the accompaniment of a dated Micro USB port and the lack of wireless charging, the OPPO F11 Pro's trendier features still manage to outshine these setbacks. These include the 48MP main camera module, the crisp LTPS IPS LCD display, and Android 9.0 Pie OS out of the box.

3. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Pros
The first smartphone to have emerged from Xiaomi's official sub-brand Redmi, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is everything you'd expect from an independent brand that is both eager and resourceful. Without a doubt the best release this year so far, the device carries unbelievably attractive features that rival even those under the flagship segment.
Among the highlights of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 are its 48MP rear camera module, Snapdragon 660, a waterdrop notch display, Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and a USB Type-C port, all for a fraction of the price of an expensive smartphone.

Pros
Its success on the list can all be attributed to these perks that can be all yours without breaking the bank. These include the notched 6.2-inch IPS LCD display with 16 million colors, a Snapdragon 450 chipset, a 4,230mAh battery, rear dual cameras (courtesy of 13MP + 2MP camera sensors), an 8MP selfie snapper, and Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box – all for just a fraction of a price of most of its competitors.

1. Vivo V15Pro
Pros
The VivoV15 Pro features a 6.39-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,316 pixels. Vivo also efficiently opted to arm the device with the more popular albeit reliable Snapdragon 675 chipset, mated to an Adreno 612 GPU.
Also one of its main features is the inclusion of a triple-camera setup, complete with a 48MP main camera sensor, an 8MP super wide-angle camera, and a 5MP depth sensor. The Vivo V15Pro is also equipped with a head-turning 32MP motorized, pop-up selfie camera.
Ultimately sealing the deal is the Vivo V15Pro's in-display fingerprint scanner which is already a s†éál for its price point.

Conclusion
Through the years, Samsung has never shied away from developing top-of-the-line smartphones from their famed Galaxy lineup. But with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S10, the Galaxy M20, and the Galaxy A50, the brand has proven time and again that when it is focused and determined to compete efficiently, the company, with all its hardware resources, can single-handedly win the race, especially when it's rightly needed.
If Samsung continues to traverse this path for the months to come, then we may be seeing a more confident brand at the end of 2019, all gleaming and justified at the top.
Best Smartphones of March 2019 in the Philippines
Pros
- Bespoke design
- HiSilicon Kirin 710
- No fast charging/Micro USB 2.0
- Audio speakers aren't that loud
The HUAWEI nova 3i has practically checked everything on everyone's checklist, with the exception of the inclusion of a dated Micro USB, which at this point has still baffled the many. Nevertheless, its impressive resume, which includes quadruple cameras, color gradient variants, HiSilicon Kirin 710, the notched 6.3-inch display, and a fast charging 3,340mAh battery beg to differ.
The HUAWEI nova 3i retails in three color gradient variants – Black, Pearl White, and Iris Purple.

8. OPPO F9
Pros
- VOOC Flash Charge technology
- Impeccable design
- Same specs as its predecessor, the OPPO F7 (no upgrades except for the camera, battery and OS)
- Micro USB 2.0
The OPPO F9's main takeaway is its VOOC Flash Charge inclusion which, according to OPPO, can provide a good 2-hour talk with just a 5-minute charge. The fast charging technology is supported by over 500 patents, utilizes low voltage and banks on a high current charging solution. It also relies on five levels of protection layers from its adapter, right to the port, and interior of the device, easily making it one of the safest smartphones out there.
Beyond its impressive battery features, the OPPO F9 is also kingly in terms of its aesthetics. It comes with a 6.3-inch FHD+ waterdrop screen which packs a staggering 90.8% screen-to-body ratio and a much taller 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

1. Vivo V15Pro
Pros
- UD fingerprint scanner
- Pop-up selfie camera
- Bezel-less display
- Snapdragon 675
- Micro USB port
- Lack of wireless charging
The VivoV15 Pro features a 6.39-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,316 pixels. Vivo also efficiently opted to arm the device with the more popular albeit reliable Snapdragon 675 chipset, mated to an Adreno 612 GPU.
Also one of its main features is the inclusion of a triple-camera setup, complete with a 48MP main camera sensor, an 8MP super wide-angle camera, and a 5MP depth sensor. The Vivo V15Pro is also equipped with a head-turning 32MP motorized, pop-up selfie camera.
Ultimately sealing the deal is the Vivo V15Pro's in-display fingerprint scanner which is already a s†éál for its price point.

Conclusion
Through the years, Samsung has never shied away from developing top-of-the-line smartphones from their famed Galaxy lineup. But with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S10, the Galaxy M20, and the Galaxy A50, the brand has proven time and again that when it is focused and determined to compete efficiently, the company, with all its hardware resources, can single-handedly win the race, especially when it's rightly needed.
If Samsung continues to traverse this path for the months to come, then we may be seeing a more confident brand at the end of 2019, all gleaming and justified at the top.
