SKK Mobile: Philippine's Worst Mobile Brand

It's finally out in the open and among most people who bought any variant of the SKK phone or tablet, expectations on this company's products turned the smile on the people's faces who bought their products into a frown accompanied with angst and disappointment as one by one their products started to show signs of physical hardware and software failure.

Among many common signs of this product's poor performance is the way it will not boot up when there is an SD memory card inserted into the slot. This is not a normal occurrence for a cellphone not to boot up when you have a memory card inserted, which may tell you that something is definitely wrong. Another thing that most SKK owners noticed is the way that the built in internal memory always seem to revert back to it's original state, causing you to loose any application that you previously had installed.

(A VERY BIG 7 INCH DISAPPOINTMENT)

This internal memory error may even tell you that you can not install any added applications since the memory is almost full. I too had this dilemma, so I checked my internal memory and it still had about 1 gig of internal memory available! What the hell is going on here?! Finally the worst user experience that most people who bought the SKK mobile brand are now complaining about is the dreaded "boot loop" syndrome that continously renders their phone or tablet in an endless redundant cycle of reboots.

What really irks most of us that are experiencing this problem is the way SKK is so dumb witted in asking for the cause of the problems. They always tell their customers to boot in recovery mode...which is another problem because once the SKK mobile phone or tablet is booted to recovery mode...there is nothing there..no menu..no anything, just a dumb android icon without any recovery menu.

Returning to the mall where I bought this stupid piece of SKK crap, the attendant told me that they do not accept products bought from them for return to be replaced or repaired and that we have to personally have to take it to the nearest service center near our area...how fucking convenient! This is not an isolated case as there were people who returned their SKK mobile product to these service centers and up to now have not received their returned item that they submitted for adequate repairs.

Customer support? What customer support? All they ever do is lead you off to their alleged  service center near the Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City and when you do. your phone or tablet is as good as gone...kaputh! Don't ever expect to get this back and it seems that SKK MOBILE PHILIPPINES has pulled a fast one on us!

You can already tell from their facebook page that they are already neck deep in shit with all the customer complaints against their useless products, and they continue to give false reassurance that they are doing their best...or their worse to adequately attend to your problems...and they are good at it...not by solving your devices problems, but by really annoyingly screwing up your gadgets.

What the fuck is wrong with SKK?! They do not have the adequate service or customer support for people that bought their products. Let this be a warning to all who are thinking of buying any kind of SKK product, find something else. Most SKK products use the ARM CORTEX A13 chip ALL WINNER FIRMWARE which is a decent processor for gaming machines, but tends to fail easily after prolonged use.

SKK buys these unbranded mobile products in China for about a dime a dozen and relabels them into SKK products. It is also a shame that Marian Rivera endorses their products and if she only knew how shitty SKK products really are, she'd probably would not have accepted their endorsement. I doubt it if Marian uses SKK personally, because I frequently see her use iPad Air, her house hold help maybe, but Marian, I doubt it if she even gives a rat's ass about SKK.


A word of advice, if you would happen to save up a substantial amount of money for a new gadget, please buy a branded well known branded product. It may be expensive but they do provide good customer support in the end!


No wonder that wireless telecommunication companies here in the Philippines do not endorse SKK Mobile Philippines into their packaged plans for one good reason... SKK phones are useless pieces of junk plain and simple.

Before I forget, I did a deeper research about SKK Philippines. It seems that the original SKK Mobile in Shenzen, China does not recognize SKK Mobile Philippines or any of their products. I made inquiries concerning the SKK PHOENIX TAB 2 but it turns out that SKK in Shenzen, China DOES NOT have and DO NOT MAKE any such models!   http://www.skkmobile.com

"DON'T GET MAD...GET EVEN! SUPPORT SKK MOBILE PHONE JUNK IN FACEBOOK AND SPEAK YOUR HEART OUT ON HOW YOU HATE SKK MOBILE PHILIPPINES AND THEIR STUPID WAY OF  HANDLING YOUR PROBLEMS REGARDING YOUR SKK PHONE AND TABLETS (PWEDE KAYONG MAG MURA DOON AT HINDI KAYO MA KIKICKOUT O MA BAN!)"

UPDATE:


Marian Rivera has now become an SKK variant as well and priced at P9,999...Oh Please! Save us the agony! it seems like a desperate move to recover bad sales resulting from their many defective products. A 9,999 peso disappointment is all  that SKK needs to deepen the trouble that it already has. Quad core you say? So what?! There are other quad core models out there that are way far better and more affordable than what SKK has and it seems like a very insidious way to use Marian Rivera's celebrity status. 



To most of us who hate SKK for the more obvious reasons as they really are so full of bad and defective product lines that the Filipino people can live without it. Remember, it only took Cherry mobile one bad Flare to nail it's reputation in the garbage can, and since then, people have lost their trust in them as well. It is so obvious, if SKK was really a good mobile brand, they can make it without the help of any celebrity endorsement.


To the Filipino people, stop fooling yourselves with regards to SKK mobile.

I agree 100%. They even blocked me from their Facebook page because of my negative comments about their products and specially their stupid graphics designer. Bastos, akala siguro maganda yung mga designs niya. Parang graduate ng Tesda yata to. Buying SKK mobile is a mistake.

Yes, I also agree to that, gusto lang ng SKK kuha ng kuha ng benta without any assurance na may mga parts o service back up yung mga producto nila na hindi naman kinikilala ng SKK sa Shen Zhen, China (which is the original SKK) At least alam mo na tama ka sa pananaw mo against their incompetent way of handling such problems regarding after sales product and customer support.
