MyPhone RIO: Hot or Not?

After a couple of excellent Myphone A(insert alphanumeric characters here) and Agua series, the company shocked the market with their new smartphone release, which is the MyPhone RIO.

My Thoughts
What`s the selling point of this phone? It`s obviously the color. MyPhone Rio is available in color white, blue, green, red, orange, yellow and black. Smartphones are developed to take the connections brought by the usual phones to the next level. That`s why earlier, these smartphones gained an impression that these will only be used by professionals or higher ops, considering its price range. But today, it`s no longer rare to see a child walking down the street with his/her smartphone swinging together with his/her hand. Let`s face it... smartphones are now used for fashion or to flash your economic status in public; and speaking about fashion we use smartphones just like our clothes to express who we are and what we feel. (I personally do this in my iOS by changing cases) I must say that MyPhone really did great in releasing this kind of smartphone. It might not be the first smartphone that offers a lot of choices(of colors) to the market, there is iPhone 5c and Lumia, but considering it`s price Php.4,999.00, I`m very much sure that people will be feasting over this product! I also love that MyPhone decided to use a matte like texture at polycarbonate (plastic) shell at the back so that it`ll not be a fingerprint magnet just like what an iPhone 5c is* YEY* (y) At first my reaction about the price is "WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?", I wasnt expecting that it`ll be a bit cheaper than MyPhoneA919i because of the looks, specs and the features. But who knows? MyPhone is playing good :).

MyPhone RIO`s Specs
  • 5” HD 1280×720 IPS Display
  • 1.3GHz Quad-Core MT6582M Processor
  • Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS
  • 1GB RAM

  • Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Magnetic Sensor
  • 2000mAh Baterry
  • Dimension: 146x74x9.3mm

The spec sheet did not gave me much chills because you can already see a lot of better smartphones in the market that offers higher specs than this phone (Samsung S4 and S5!!!). So this phone has nothing to brag right? right? Well, then you`re wrong :).

Together with MyPhone Rio’s 8MP Camera is its exclusive Magic Camera feature.

 "Magic Camera is a built-in camera app that lets you create extraordinary photos with your phone. It has functions such as cinemagraph, object eraser, and face beauty. You’ll be able to capture these amazing photos easier than a click away with the camera’s voice capture and wave to capture functions. Get to take those precious shots simply by saying “cheese” or “capture”."   -MyPhone Facebook Page

Now this is getting more fun! :) Finally MyPhone users are stepping up because of this exclusive camera features! This is really an edge to other local smartphone companies esp. Fruity Mobile.



Hot or Not? HOT!
With its compact features and specs, stunning looks and price range I consider this smartphone a must have! It might not be the CHEAPEST quadcore local smartphone, but with MyPhone`s aftersales service and developer team, I`m sure that you`ll get and appreciate your money more than any other local brand. If you have any problems with your MP Smartphone you can simply go to any SONY Service center (yeah they`re partners!) or MyPhone Service center to get your phone fixed! :)

Anyway, the phone is officially released yesterday, April 10 on  Teatrino, Greenhills. If you want to check the pictures during the event, CLICK HERE

MyPhone is also available nationwide! However if you still don`t have it in your place, you can purchase one online at the MyPhone online store. Place Your Orders Here!



GET YOURS NOW AND START LIVING YOUR LIFE WITH COLORS! :)

      Hello!
      With Out of the box unit, I strongly believe that you can`t.
      But you can check out MyPhone Developers group on facebook, and under file section you`ll see a tutorial on how to swap MicroSD Card memory to Internal storage. :)

      In that way, you`ll be able to store it in sd card :)

      Hello there!
      I believe that MyPhone RIO can shoulder all your must do`s in a smartphone for the whole day.
      Camera wise, it can provide a respectable photo from high to mid light scenario. I believe they used the same flash :)

Enhance your Android Phone`s Display w/ Bravia Engine

Image
                         Hello techies! I`m here again to share a review/comparison for our beloved android phones again! So today I`ll be sharing the Bravia Engine 3, a Display enhancer for android phones.If you`re clueless w/ what`s a Bravia Engine, here`s a short background to give you an idea.                         " The Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 3 is a video enhancement program for Sony phones. It uses filters and algorithms to create a clearer and more contrasted picture and an overall smoother experience. This is perfect for the Note II's huge HD screen but can be a little to saturated for people like photographers who want to see how the photo looks exactly with out any enhancements. The change is not huge but is definitely noticeable if two devices are compared. This program is very light weight and works with all models of the Note II so fa...

Stiev-A Tretinoin 0.1% cream review

Image
So I was at the mall yesterday with my family and relatives and my grandmother bought this Tretinoin 0.1% cream for me and it costs around Php.500.00 less or $ 12.00. I would say that this Tretinoin 0.1% cream that I got from Watsons is really cheap compared to the Tretinoin 0.025% in liquid form that I`m buying from my derma which costs around Php.370.00 for 1 month use. I`m a tretinoin user for almost a year now, I started with Tretinoin 0.025% and now I believe that I need to take it to the next level! Not 0.05% but Tretinoin 0.1%!  Haha! A very big jump. I did a ton of research before using Tretinoin in my face and I found out that it`s a popular skin/acne remedy used by people all over the world [Celebrities use it too]. Anyway, if you don`t have any idea what Tretinoin is, here`s a short definition for you guys. "   Tretinoin is a vitamin A derivative. It works by two things: Firstly it increases the cell/skin turnover rate, and secondly, is boosts co...

MyPhone A919i Review

Image
*This is my first Gadget Review, sorry for some grammar mist.* MyPhone A919 Duo is my first ever MyPhone phone and I must say that I`m really impressed.  The quality, the built, the specs, the customer service and of course the developers, They`re all impressive! While playing with my 2 months old android phone from MyPhone, I was surprised, A919i came in and its specs are undeniably awesome for a phone with a price tag of Php.9,000+. I do trust MyPhone a lot because of my experience from MyPhone A919 so I believe that I need to give back to MyPhone an unbiased review for their new flagship, the MyPhone A919i Duo. There are lots of Pinoy branded quadcore phones today and MyPhone A919i is one of them, from A919 Duo`s success, the company established lots of confidence in releasing this quad core phone considering its price is higher compared to other local quad core phones. 1.  The Box Set Its contents are the same with the MyPhone A919 just without the CD -The...
