Here Comes the MyPhone Rio 2!!

After taking part in Google's Android One project, MyPhone is bringing back its line of affordable Android smartphones that not only captured the local market by storm since 2014, but also cater to the digital lifestyle needs of the budget-conscious Filipinos. This time, the local mobile phone brand introduced the successor to the brand's most popular smartphone, the MyPhone Rio 2.

What makes the Rio 2 different from its predecessor is, well, everything in terms of specifications and features. Its biggest selling point is that it is one of the first locally branded Android smartphones to run the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

The MyPhone Rio 2 has a 5-inch HD IPS capacitive multitouch display equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch resistance and runs on a 1.3 GHz quad core processor. Its 8 megapixel rear camera with Sony sensor and Blue Glass filter, as well as its 5 megapixel front camera, are perfect for taking selfies. You can expand your storage through your microSD card up to 64 GB on top of its 8 GB of internal storage. But the most significant thing about the Rio 2 is its massive 2800 mAh battery which is ideal for those who want to do heavy activities on your smartphone for a day.

The Rio 2 is available in MyPhone concept stores, kiosks and authorized dealers and retailers for a very affordable price of P5,499.00. This comes with a free Globe prepaid SIM with free mobile data monthly valid for one year. If you want, you can purchase it online at Lazada.
