We could not deny the trend of incorporating dual cameras (either in the front or at the back) with smartphones for 2017. It's a good trend if you would ask us: With two sensors working together, these smartphones gain extra functions, which include better depth of field, optical zooms, bokeh effects, and augmented reality.
To purchase one of these innovative smartphones, one does not necessarily need to break the bank. Last month, we brought to you a list of dual camera smartphones for under 10k, and that list is pretty good. This time around, we list down models with dual cameras for under 20k—if you happen to have extra money from bonuses, savings, and whatnots.
Do note that this list only includes those that are readily available in the Philippines. Feel free to give us recommended phones under this price range, as this is not a comprehensive list.
Oppo F3We can't deny the importance of having flattering selfies these days, and OPPO is committed to incorporating all the best tech for that with their dual selfie cam smartphones. Aside from having a 16-megapixel rear camera, you have two cameras in the front: a 16-megapixel primary camera, and an 8-megapixel secondary camera. As a mid-range model, this phone delivers with 4GB of RAM, MediaTek MT6750T processor, and a 3200Mah battery.

Huawei GR5 2017
While it is almost Php 2,000 more expensive than last year's GR5, the upgrades are well worth it, with its metal-clad exterior and a dual rear camera setup, which is not bad for its price. We got our hands on a unit a few months ago, and the processor upgrade, along with its 3GB RAM made the GR5 2017 a solid winner for Huawei.

Now is the best time to get the V5 Plus, after Vivo announced price cuts for both the V5 Plus and the V5. Like its smaller brother, the V5 Plus' strength is in photography, adding a dual front camera setup in the mix. With both 20-megapixel and 8-megapixel cameras sporting a f/2.0 aperture, you are assured to get great selfies with it. We even pitted the V5 Plus with Oppo's F3 Plus, and you be the judge of which is equipped with a better selfie camera.
