In case you’re living under a rock for a month now or you’re just very busy to keep up with the latest tech news, two local smartphone giants clashed last week with their own release of high-end superphones.
The MyPhone Agua Iceberg is actually the first ever pinoy smartphone to come with a premium aluminum body and it was launched last July 26 in Eastwood. It also packs impressive specifications which will surely give you a satisfying android experience. MyPhone also decided to remove the Philippine map on their smartphones (starting with Iceberg) to make it look more appealing to others. The Iceberg is now available for Php11,998.

Meanwhile, the Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z was the first one to launch last July 24 and it on that day it became the first ever locally branded android smartphone to sport a Full HD (1920×1080 pixel resolution) display which is currently the norm for flagship android phones from well-known international players such as Samsung, HTC, LG, and Sony. The Cosmos Z will be available this August for Php11,999.

These two smartphones doesn’t directly compete with each other, as the first one is 5-inches while the Iceberg has 5.7-inches. But since they’re currently the best among the two brands, we figured they are the ones competing against each other, too.
Now, take your pick. Is it the MyPhone Agua Iceberg or the Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z?
cherry mobile cosmos z.
best phone ive ever had.even bought another one!! =)
ive heard so many negatives about cherrymobile before.but since they had cherrymobile cosmos z out in the market ive decided to try it. and I WAS SO AMAZED!
GOOD BATTERY LIFE ,SHARP CAMERA 18MEGAPIXELS EVEN HD VIDEO ,ALL IN ONE SIMPLE PHONE. I EVEN BOTH ANOTHER ONE THE OTHER DAY.
THE MOST AMAZING PHONE EVER!!
I’ll go for MYPHONE.. di nagla-lag at ung CAMERA QUALITY mas maganda kesa sa CHERRY. Though yes, mas maganda cam specs ng CM pero pag icompare mo sa MP, mas maganda pa din kuha ng cam ng MYPHONE ket mas lower cam specs. Just saying. :-)
whether it’s MyPhone, Cherry Mobile, StarMobile, Torque, remember it’s not always the outside look that fully matters, you should always go for if not best, better specifications…
things to consider:
1. the chipset integration, number of cores (it might be a power juicer)
2. the battery life (you don’t want to be empty-handed of power in the middle of nowhere)
3. size doesn’t matter as long as you are comfortable with it.
4. you go search and READ a bunch of reviews before spending your 1year hard earned money.
in my preference, i’ll go with a phone that will provide me with these specs:
– 5-inch IPS LCD with Full HD resolution, ~441 ppi
– 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6589T (i don’t know what its counterpart in SNAPDRAGON) processor
– 2GB, 16GB is quite adequate for me..
– 13 or 18 mp’s BSI camera is essential for me (for taking photos during trips)
– and ofcourse, the battery life. i’ll take 2,500+ maH for a longer power life…
WHAT KIND OF PHONE AM I REFERRING TO?? I still don’t know. will take a lot of reviews. besides, another month means another flagship phone, who knows, i might catch a better one..
