Following the release of the Honor 9X a few months ago, Honor
Philippines has officially released the Honor 20 Lite to jumpstart the new year.
On the other hand, Huawei kicked off 2020 with the release of its first
midrange mobile marvel, the Y9s, while Cherry Mobile did it differently with the
Flare Tab Pro which is arguably the first Android-operated phablet to become
available in the local market after a long period of absence and dormancy.
On the first edition of On The Market, I will personally guide you to
how these three devices can fare well in the Philippine mobile market in terms
of specifications and price tags. Of course, they are available in any authorized
dealer/reseller nationwide and online shopping platforms such as Lazada and
Shopee so I'll let you pick a poison in this first outing.

Expect more mobile devices available in the Philippines to be featured
in the next editions of On The Market in the coming months and eventually in
the foreseeable future. For now, these would certainly be what you need to purchase
at the start of the new year depending on your own budget. In any case, it might
be what this section is all about. Who knows?
