I know that we mentioned that this would be a list of budget phones but we think that the iPhone XR is the best ML iPhone on a budget. It’s also the most used phone by many streamers/pros and is the best selling iPhone last year in the Philippines.
It’s no surprise why many pros are using this, apart from the very accessible price, it provides the smoothest multi touch experience in any phone at this price range. Pulling off combos for assassins is much more doable on this phone compared to the others mentioned on this list.
Adding to that, since it has a powerful A12 bionic chip, the graphics look as gorgeous as you would find on most flagship phones today. It can even be compared to the likes of the iPhone 14 pro Max/Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra but minus the OLED display.

Highest Graphic Settings Available:

The realme 10 offers nothing extravagant for the price being offered. That however, does not dismiss the fact that it delivers a good Mobile Legends performance in all categories. The touch response is also up to the competition so no issue there. But to a techie standpoint, we can find better options.
It also has a Helio G99 chipset that’s both energy-efficient and performs well on gaming.
Price:
8GB/128GB – ₱12,999
8GB/256GB – ₱14,999
Highest Graphics Settings Available:
Refresh rate – Ultra
Graphics – Ultra
The POCO X4 GT is the only phone on this list which checks all the box on the Highest Graphics setting with both Ultra refresh rate and Ultra graphics. The MediaTek Dimensity 8100 and its Mali-G610 MP6 integrated GPU make the phone a powerful phone for gaming.
A demanding title such as Mobile Legends plays smoothly at the highest settings. You can definitely get frame rates above 30 FPS at “HD/High/Ultra” settings, but the phone doesn’t allow anything more than that – probably to limit power usage.
Price:
8GB/128GB – ₱ 18,990
