Out
of the 3, the S5 Pro is the most capable. It is one of the few under PHP 10K
with 2x optical zoom cameras, 18W fast charging, and stereo speakers. On paper,
the most value-packed is the K5 Pro as it is almost as good as the S5 Pro with
bigger battery capacity. If you are on a tight budget, the K5 Play us pretty
attractive for a PHP 3,999 phone.
