ZH&K Android Smartphones, Tablets, Feature Phones, and Stores List

Last night - November 9, 2014 - at the Golden Bay Restaurant along Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard in Pasay City, local electronics company ZH&K Mobile unveiled their product line-up - including feature phones, TV phones, Android smartphones and tablets - for Q4 2014 until the first half of 2015.

The brand's current celebrity endorsers are the People's Champ Manny Pacquiao and GMA Artist Jennelyn Mercado, who graced the company's grand launch. I was looking forward to seeing Manny but he wasn't there; Next time, maybe.

During the event, ZH&K gave away prizes to tech bloggers, members of the media, as well as its nationwide dealers. The grand prize was Php 100,000, which went to a dealer.

The company gave away brochures containing a short bio of ZH&K and a list of their current and upcoming products with features and specs highlights. Let's take a look at their affordable releases.

Feature Phones and TV Phones

The C-1 is the most affordable ZH&K phone as of writing. Selling for just Php 399 (believe it!), this basic phone with alpha-numeric keypad has Dual SIM Dual Standby capability and has a torch light.

Php 549 Z112 and Php 699 Z15 - the latter having a larger display - double as a music player.

ZH&K has very affordable TV phones. TVZ15 with an alpha-numeric keypad sells for just Php 699 while TVZ500 that has a 2.4-inch touchscreen goes for Php 999.

Android Smartphones and Tablets

ZH&K offers viable alternatives for budget-conscious consumers that want to experience Android for a whole lot less. Dual SIM Dual Standby Z707, which sells for Php 1,699, has a 3.5-inch WVGA display and runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS with a 1.2 GHz Dual Core processor. The 3.5-inch Pac25 - currently being endorsed by Manny Pacquiao - sells for Php 1,699 and already runs Android 4.4.2 KitKAt with a Dual Core processor.

ZH&K A1 is a watered down version of Pac 25 but dons the same SRP. Obviously, I'd recommend that you pass on this and just get the latter if you're betting your Php 1,699 on this brand. The A8, on the other hand, is a 4-inch Dual Core phone running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

4.5-inch Dual Core ZH&K Ares and Aura - running Android 4.4.2 KitKat and donning an SRP of Php 2,699 and Php 3,399, respectively - are almost the same except that the latter has higher resolution front and back cameras.

Midrange Kairos is a 5-inch qHD Quad Core smartphone runing Android 4.4.2 KitKat and goes for Php 3,899. Venus, on the other hand, is one of the cheapest smartphones with a 2 GHz Octa Core chipset currently -- donning a price tag of only Php 6,199.

ZH&K Venus should be a good phone but if you thinking about spending more than Php 6,000 on a handset by this company, then I would suggest that you just get Zeus which has bigger display and is more expensive by just a 100 bucks.

ZH&K has very affordable Android tablets. The 7-inch Sapphire runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with a single core processor and sells for a measly Php 1,699 while 7-inch Opal with Dual SIM Dual Standby phone functionality runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with a Dual Core chip and goes for just Php 2,799.

ZH&K has stores and partners retailers in NCR, Mega Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Can ZH&K Mobile make it big in an industry that's already seemingly saturated with lots of players - both local and international - all doing their best to grab the attention and loyalty of consumers?
