Upon reading the specifications you would think that it is almost similar with high-end devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S2 or HTC Desire X. But most Filipinos would doubt about is the quality of this device in terms of durability and battery life.
First of all, this smartphone is created for practical people who didn't mind of having a branded product. Yes smartphones from popular companies are expensive and most of them are tagged as being trusted. Surprisingly, MyPhone is part of Sony Philippines. In terms of durability and quality, I can say that their products are exceptional. I personally own a MyPhone A818 and I've been using it for 6 months. So far, so good and I haven't experienced any technical problems on my current phone yet.
The question for most Filipinos, why would I buy this phone?
Well, personally, I love the Android OS Platform. It enabled me to customize my phone whichever way I wanted to. Plus the apps are really remarkable especially the E-book reader. I'm also a book lover; and having a smartphone which has a capability of viewing e-books is such a handy way of reading novels wherever you go.
