If you absolutely have to have an Android KitKat phone, well, your options just got a whole lot cheaper. MyPhone recently launched the Rio Craze, an entry level 4 inch smartphone with a dual core CPU and KitKat out of the box. The price? Php1,999!

Of course, that’s about as good as it gets as the rest of the specs scream feature phone rather than smartphone. It only comes with 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a 1.3mp main camera and 2G (no, not 3G) connectivity.

Well, for its price point, you certainly can’t complain. It would probably make a good phone for a grade-schooler or something.

  1. Its a useless phone,, cant even install a 20mb skype app,, says insufficient memory,, that is why i hate local phones,, anyway,, you guys should get developers who are technically inclined into actually creating a useable phones,, specs dont even match up to themselves,, kitkat phone without any memory to download apps and even make use of the actual system and speed,, cant even direct download to memory,, wtf??

    1. eh bat mo binili?? kung maka-english ka akala mo kung sino ka tapos hanggang 2k lang na phone kaya mo bilhin.

    2. dont expect a low end phone to perform what a mid-range phone can do… that 20mb skype app will expand once installed because the installer is compressed data.. stop and think for a second before ranting..

  2. I wasted my money with this phone.. Insufficient storage kahit 4gb ang mem card take note wala pang na do download ah

    1. There is an android defect or miss match between versions, apple solved that. To solve that deactivate a setting on your play store setting

  3. just bought MyPhone Rio Craze for my lil bro..with 2GB SD Card. Too bad :( d mka pag download ng maraming apps.. hays :/ kitkat pa naman android.. “insufficient storage device”

    1. alam mo tinny, 512mb lng ksi ung internal storage ng rio craze, sa 512mb na un, doon ka lng makapg install ng app na gusto mo, and ung sa 2gb sd card, ang alm ko kasi d un pwede installan ng app, pwede don ung music, videos, or pictures, but not recommended as a storage for application..

    2. haha.. what id do to my llil bro’s phone was just install a gameboy emulator.. end get all the games he wants.. classic games are good too for those who haven’t played them..
