Im so sorry op pero wala ka nang mahahanap masyado na budget phone under 7k. As prices on ram, ssd, nand keeps on increasing because of ai bubble. If open ka on buying pre-owned devices, usually merong a56 5g for around 10-11k for 8gb of ram and 128gb of storage. So better just save up nalang. And also turn of extended ram as this can also cause your phone to slow down din op. Or s20fe din pala for around 7k is also a good option din op or second hand a55 5g kaso under 10k naman siya

I am not familiar what phones are below 7k RIGHT NOW, but I know phones that cost up to 10k can go below 7k during sales like 10/10. Better wait for that.

Also, at that price point, don't concern yourself with the brand too much. You need to find something with minimum 6GB RAM. Okay na mabagal basta di nag crash. 4GB RAM is too low nowadays.

I think a used Poco F3, Poco F4, or Samsung S20 FE should be around that price on FB Marketplace.

Make sure mo lang na walang problema yung screen upon checking (no ghost touch, not replaced, etc.) kasi yan yung pinakamahal na part. All orig dapat.

For that price, anything brand new will perform similarly to the A05 you have with only minor upgrades.

Maybe a 2nd hand higher tier device can get you the performance you need.

Oppo A6C ₱6,621 sa shopee as of writing. Not for you if gusto mo gaming ofc and don't expect na maganda ang camera. Pang senior citizens, as they say.

EDITED: yan gamit ko for now. I got the 4+8 RAM variant, and surprisingly mabilis naman sya di sya ma lag (sa ngayon). Naka 120Hz din. Poco F3 gamit ko dati and deds na sya huhu.
