Best Smartphones with 6GB RAM Under PHP 15K 2020 - 2021

In today's standards, a smartphone with 4GB of RAM is pretty much the base configuration everyone should remember. From there, depending on your budget and needs should you see what models are available as other options.

For more flexibility, picking a smartphone with a memory capacity higher than 4GB of RAM is highly recommended. This then leads us to 6GB of RAM. Even by today's standards, 6GB of RAM isn't such a big headline anymore as most upper-midrange smartphones today pack 8GB of RAM capacity. Undeniably, an 8GB RAM offers more flexibility than 6GB, but that doesn't mean that 6GB isn't a good choice at all. In addition, the difference in pricing is obvious between the two, making the latter a more approachable option.

A 6GB RAM smartphone should be more than enough to handle your daily needs without sacrificing performance. For clarification, having more memory doesn't make your phone faster; instead, it allows you to have a better transition from one app to another since having more memory means that it can handle more tasks.

To help you in your search for a smartphone with 6GB of RAM, we've made an exclusive list of the best options that are currently available in the market priced at under PHP 15,000 in the Philippines today.
