MyPhone has yet another smartphone (perhaps the last) on display at its ongoing Youth Tech Congress. The new MyPhone Rio is also a 5-inch smartphone but differs itself from the other upcoming MyPhone devices by offering interchangeable back covers.
Fully known as the MyPhone Agua Rio, this device won’t contribute to the octa-core hype we’re experiencing this year in the local smartphone scene. So no, it’s not like the higher end MyPhone Infinity phone, but having a quad-core processor run under the hood is decent nonetheless. This dual SIM capable device also offers 1GB of RAM, 4GB internal storage with microSD expansion, and a pair of cameras (8 megapixels at the back and 2 megapixels in front).
MyPhone Rio Specs
- Android Jelly Bean
- 5-inch capacitive touchscreen (720×1280 HD), ~294ppi
- 1.2GHz quad-core MediaTek processor
- 1GB RAM
- 4GB internal storage
- microSD support
- 8-megapixel main camera, with LED flash
- 2-megapixel front camera
From the pictures alone, we can assume at least three colors will be available for the interchangeable back covers. The rest of the specs are still undisclosed, so we’ve pretty much nothing else but guesswork at this point. That said, we’re hoping the unnamed MediaTek processor to be the MT6582 that’s found in the MyPhone Ocean Elite.

As this is a smartphone that we’re talking about, it’s also safe to say that all the connectivity options are available in the MyPhone Rio—Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS. If we’re lucky, we might even have a LTE-enabled device here, but reality suggests 3G HSPA+ connectivity at best. As for the battery, perhaps a capacity that won’t go lower than 2000mAh isn’t too much to ask. Anything more than that would mean many hours of nonstop usage on the device.
Along with the Infinity and Ocean Elite, the MyPhone Rio is expected to go on sale nationwide by the end of March. Of the three, the Rio is also expected to be priced the cheapest at less than Php8,000.
malakas ba speaker ng ringtone? ska malakas din ba flash ng camera?
Pano naman ung mismong camera
Kabili ko lang…Swak Tlga Ang Ganda….V2 NA ung Rio nGaun Sa mEga MAll
4gb naman talaga yung internal memory nyan.. Nababawasan sya since ginagamit na ng system ng phone yung ibang memory like system cache or other related.. Lahat halos ng android phone ganyan talaga.. Bilhan mu na lang ng sdcard since mura na lang din naman ngayun.
bat po ganon yung sa internal memory ng rio ko. 0.98gb yung total space na nakalagay dito. ibig sabihin hindi 4gb yung tunay na internal memory nito?
Ikaw din pala, ung friend ko kasi yan din nangyari. Hindi marelease ang nawawalang 1.2gb.
ung ROM 4gb iba ung ROM at RAM.. RAM 1gb..
Hindi na gumana ang volume nag agua rio ko
Hindi naman siya naka mute. Kainis. Paano po ba to
try mo reset yung phone mo,, sa settings
For me yung MyPhone Rio was a very good phone.. Lahat halos ng aspect mapa sa camera, speaker, video player, performance are all good.. Camera parang HTC One XL ko lang dn na phone klaro ang shot . Speaker thumbs up din tama lang ang volume may additional setting naman sya sa music player kung gusto mu na medyo lumakas pa. Video player?! Damn Good kasi parang lahat halos ata kaya nya i-play. Sinubukan kong mag play ng mga videos thru my usb gamit ng USB OTG, SHOOOOT!!… play agad no need to convert to mp4. Sa Calls naman klarong klaro yung boses sa kabilang line.. di basag yung boses o mahina.. Take not may sarili siyang memory cleaner no need to download other memory cleaner like DU speed booster. All applications runs smoothly as expected for quadcore… nice JOB MyPhone…
