I knew that you will be going in to Google as a norm way to research your possible main driver (depending on your budget). The giant search engine knows it as they recently revealed the the top 10 brands that Filipinos searched the most.
The top 10 list are as follows from 1 to 10: iPhone X, iPhone 8, Huawei Nova 2i, OPPO F5, OPPO F1s, Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro, Nokia 6, Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime, OPPO F3 and Nokia 3310
From the list given above, I am agree based on the 2017 traffic that I am getting for this blog space especially when you take out the iPhones. Even as launched officially last August 2016, OPPO F1s still managed to get in the top 5 spot. The featured Samsung phones were mainly on the right price point plus (possible) the Liza Soberano factor. Nokia as our "welcome back" thing. The rest for OPPO like the F3 series which you saw here first globally on this blog and created some widespread discussions and the latest OPPO F5 which definitely with more improvements over the F3.
2018 is another year that will be interesting for sure in the local tech scene\
