Established in September 2007, MyPhone has certainly built its name as a trusted local tech brand and has continued to earn a sizable share of the consumer market. Aside from being the first Filipino mobile phone brand to offer dual SIM mobility, MyPhone is also the only one that offers software that includes “Pinoy Content”. Only MyPhone has apps with purely Pinoy data including jokes, recipes, trivia, and prayers. Moreover, it continues to provide Filipinos with affordable mobile phones without scrimping on features and applications mobile users look for.
I myself am a proud MyPhone user and have been using the MyPhone A848i Duo since December 2012. This dual core phone has a 1Ghz Processor, expandable memory up to 32GB, a 4” capacitive touch screen, a dual-SIM support, Wi-Fi capability, a 5MP rear camera, a VGA front camera, and runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
I’m not really a techie mom so I can’t fully explain the phone’s performance in technical terms. What I do can tell you is that MyPhone has withstood the use (and abuse) of this mom and her two preschoolers. Having 4 and 5 year old kids handling a mobile phone without breaking it would be a great test for durability. Like all androids, the interface is so easy to use that even my preschoolers can navigate through the various apps and even download the games they want to play. Thankfully, they have stuck to the free kids’ apps.
Being my very first smart phone, MyPhone A848i Duo didn’t disappoint me. With it, I’m able to check my emails and update my blogs’ Facebook pages quite easily. It has really proven quite handy in updating all my social media accounts. Also, it enables me to browse the net wherever I am – really quite useful when I need to do a quick research. I’m also glad that it has dual-SIM support coz I’m still able to receive text messages from contacts in my old SIM (never really gotten around to informing everyone that I’m using a new number). MyPhone is really so much more than just a phone – it’s my personal digital assistant, my occasional babysitter, my link to the outside world (I’m a hermitmom :P).
If I remember right, my husband got this phone at only around 5K. With all the features and apps that I’ve found useful, MyPhone is really worth more than its price. My husband is eyeing the new MyPhone QuadCore A919i Duo for me but I think this frugal mom would make do with the 848i for now.
MyPhone has a great mobile phone for every budget. They have basic phones, TV phones, wi-fi phones, smartphones and even tablets that are conveniently packed with great features and apps. Be a proud Pinoy and get a MyPhone at a very affordable at Lazada PH.
MyPhone is great! My mom has one now. I am actually thinking of getting one din. It works the same din naman kasi just like how the other android phones do. Affordable pa and a proudly Pinoy made!
P5K only? Good buy. And the Philippine map on the casing caught my eye, nice!
The title of your entry is very catchy. As Filipinos, we should really patronize locally made products and it’s appeasing to read this review from you. My mom’s mobile phone needs to be replaced. I’ll suggest this to her 🙂
i heard of this, correct let us support our local entrepreneurs
I always hear about bloggers purchasing at Lazada especially when it’s gadgets. I hope to visit the site soon.
on gave myphone mobile to my nephew as graduation gift but after two month is breakdown.. and since i bought it for 1K only I could not avail of warranty.. sadness
I think myphone is already competing in the Philippine market. However, many are still choosing some established brands.
I never had myphone phones yet, but a friend of mine has and she says it’s doing great!
I owned two MyPhone units in the past. I really liked them and they were good phones. those weren’t even smart phones pa nga eh. Nakaka proud talaga. Someday I hope manufacturing can be done here instead of in China, para complete package. Screen quality and camera quality ang hinihintay ko din mag improve.
