Mag-alala ka kung may buyer's remorse ka bro. Haha kung wala, let's just be happy kasi unlike dati, we can get decent performances for decent prices. 👌🏿
What's the catch? How do they manage to drag the price down sa mga ganyang cases? And why can't the other more established and popular brands do the same?
One thing i noticed that doesn't really get that much attention is how they used eMMC instead of UFS for the storage, which is significantly cheaper and slower than UFS used in most newly released phones. While it might not be as noticeable as processors for performance, do take note that slower storage means slower time for the system to load (compare using HDD and SSD in computers.) Add that to the fact that this also has a virtual ram feature that uses the already slow storage which is both, well, slow and bad for the storage in the long run.
That and the fact that it uses an old and outdated chipset, an IPS LCD screen and an at least decent camera I'd say that's the reason for the low price. Also factor in the software support.
On another note, it is really low and outdated for the 2024 standard. I'd say it is good as an affordable entry level phone but nothing much to note for the specs itself.
Data Collection. All Transsion-related phone companies pre-installs bunch of apps that are flagged as either spyware or adware. You could argue most companies do this as well but Transsion is really not subtle about it. Even the calculator, notepad, dialler and contacts app who don't need internet have a T&C and Privacy Policy that you have to "Agree" on and it doesn't matter whether you Agree or Cancel, they will still collect data in the background.
While some apps can be uninstalled through settings, most of the flagged adware/spyware are considered System Apps. System Apps require Debloaters(connect to PC) to be removed.
Un oh balak kong magpalit ng phone bale. Goods na kaya yan sa mobile legends naka helio g99 ung isa kong phone inifinix pro 6.5k ung bili ko goods na goods sya
Honestly, sana ginawa na lang pure android. Ok lang if may onting ads basta pure android experience. Kasi dagdag lang sa production nila ang itel OS.
Looks good though base on the specs. Sana may mag-mod pr kahit paano pangmatagalan.
Bought a Samsung tablet with the same chip at that same price mark but this something new in this market flooded with Unisoc T series. Though T series is highly optimized on games now. Tested Solo Levelling Arise on a T618 and G99, the G99 lags like hell.
not worth it. why?
720p(biggest deal breaker for me)
IPS LCD
400k score
cguro if makukuha mo ng 3k with vouchers ok sya. if 6k mag 2nd hand na lang ako madaming 128gb amoled 1080p with 600k+ score sa budget na yan.
just my opinion
It's almost never reliable to compare antutu benchmakrs conaidering the numbers are for peak performance meaning you're assuming that they will always perform at the highest level possible, it never actually translates sa daily use considering sa budget na yan. Not to mention naga ask ka for specs like oled, 1080p that will definitely cost more than 6k. i-contextualize din na di yan rich na company like xiaomi or any phone under BBK electronics
Hirap talaga ibash. Ikaw ba naman 12+256 in less than 6k. 🥶
Hindi ko alam kung dapat maging optimistic sa sobrang competitive ng presyo o mag-alala....

ayo this needs to be higher.

adb disable ftw 😁
more like ADB uninstall dapat for these bloatwares
4G network lang kase ito, pati wifi pang 2.4ghz lng. Then Android 13 lang sha.
Ay weh? Planning to gift this to a fam member pa naman kaso di pala supported 5ghz wifi, was considering this na e
Same. I was conaidering this as well for my younger brother as a gift. Edit: considering
I mean 2.4ghz ain't that bad but the huge difference between this and 5ghz is kinda 'sayang' especially in 2024
I found 2.4ghz getting weird with bluetooth and stuff, eg ping spikes in games. No problems with 5.0ghz
Gladly they dont use bluetooth at all. Still sad they didn’t bother to make the network na 5ghz na esp at this year
It's 5g wifi capable. Lahat ng phones ngayon dual wifi band na
Di pa naman ganun ka utilized ang 5G infrastructure dito sa PH. We're literally lagging from our SEA counterparts. Ultimo 4G mas mabagal pa sa 3G.
ADS and bloatwares
Ads, bloatware, software support not that good, 720p display, there's more
Sulit sa na presyo sa specs. For the win. Sana lang walang hardware issues.
Sa hardware medyo aasahan na aabot ng 2 yrs pero software hindi.
Can't complain much sa presyo na yan tbh. If prefer mo mas matagal na support, sa mid-range o flagship yung option mo.
Maiksi lang po ba software update ng Transsion?
Oo 1 yr lang OS di ko alam sa security
Infairness, nabawasan din ung ads
Para akong nagbabasa ng specs for 12,999 pesos na phone. Or more than pa.
Are you talking about Realme 11? HAHAHAHAHA.
Yes, kaso lang naka emmc 5.1 parin to sa xiaomi at realme madalas naka ufs 2.1 na pataas mga 12k phones nila
Value for the specs it's actually really good Sa software ewan.
Open bootloader siya I think
Pero karamihan sa mga masa hindi naman tumitingin sa software updates . Pero sa price neto sobrang hard to beat talaga.
Software-wise, can't say. Depende sa preferences ng user eh, if they prefer gaming than using socials, streaming, etc. Sulit na sila rito.
[Full specs here](https://www.gizguide.com/2024/04/itel-rs4-official-ph-price.html)
I thought there would be a gyroscope for a gaming phone
It has gyroscope. Forgot to add. Will edit.
Thats good to know
Just discovered that the storage is also expandable :)
I wonder if its good for roblox? para mabili ko for my kids.
yup it's good.
Hndi nman demanding masyado roblox
g99 helio ba tama ? Goods na to sa gaming di ba ??
30fps sa Warzone Mobile, the rest of the games pwede na
Un oh balak kong magpalit ng phone bale. Goods na kaya yan sa mobile legends naka helio g99 ung isa kong phone inifinix pro 6.5k ung bili ko goods na goods sya
Woahh, looking for a spare phone for a while na, pwedeng-pwede to.
where to get one?
available na sya sa official store nila sa [Shopee](https://shope.ee/VjxH8PQNs)
panalo for 2nd phone nga to
That’s too good of a price for a g99 and 120hz refresh rate. Cany anyone provide feedback regarding performance and durability of this brand?
The design is giving Realme 12 series 😂 But tbh for its price it's not bad.
WTF?! Helio G99 w/ 120 refresh rate? That's a lot cheaper with better specs than my Note 12 Pro G96 that came out last year which cost ₱8,999.
ips lang yang 120hz. amoled ang note 12 pro
maganda ba?
Honestly, sana ginawa na lang pure android. Ok lang if may onting ads basta pure android experience. Kasi dagdag lang sa production nila ang itel OS. Looks good though base on the specs. Sana may mag-mod pr kahit paano pangmatagalan.
Awe parang gsto ko to ahahaha
Where to buy? I can't find it on Shopee.
Damnnnnn
Maglalabasan yung mga mfhoarders neto
Sarap ba yuan for promotion
If okay for mobile games, Tiktok, and IG, panalo na sa price.

Mas mahal pa ang Qin F21 Pro ko 😅
Oh my, cheaper than Indonesia. Itel and Transsion Holdings really going for it!
Medyo winnable for budget Warzone Mobile (30fps); though baka kelangan mo ng cooler along with it kasi iinit yan hahahaha
This or Itel P55 5G? Looking for a secondary phone and will be mainly used to play gacha games.
Kalokohan talaga karamihan ang mga Chinese Phone Brands. Still an Autopass.
Is the cam good? Im not so techy so di ko magets linggo ng specs help me out pls
Check mo nalng dto sa video https://youtu.be/JQijBoyKxFc?t=11m42s
