Torque has an affordable octa core smartphone for Filipinos – the aptly named Torque Droidz Octave with a price tag of ₱6,399 only!
It also has a 5-inch high definition display, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front facing camera for your selfies.
Torque Droidz Octave is certainly one of the cheapest octa core smartphones in the market right now. Apparently, it lacks the device name found on the right side above the screen of most Torque smartphones that several people dislike.
It’s not clear yet what chipset is used by the Torque Droidz Octave but we’re pretty sure it’s from MediaTek. It shouldn’t have any problems with lags though especially because it comes with Android 4.4.2 Kitkat out of the box. Just don’t open a lot of apps because its 1GB RAM is a limiting factor.

In terms of connectivity, it’s a dual SIM smartphone with 3G HSPA+ access, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. We’ll confirm if it also supports USB OTG. It does come with 8GB of onboard storage.
The battery capacity hasn’t been revealed too. Each unit comes with a free Bluetooth speaker.
