MyPhone A818 Duo – Video Review
This is my video review of the MyPhone A818 Duo – an insanely affordable (yet very functional) Android smartphone.
Since most gadgets & devices always look good on paper but sometimes fall short during actual (real life) usage, I decided not to delve on the technical specifications of the phone and concentrated instead on how functional and useable this device is.
Enjoy.

So what did you think?
What wasn’t covered during this video review is the “Pinoy Content” SIM which comes along with it. That particular SIM contains all the Pinoy factoids, prayers, trivias, which can be easily accessible via a featured app that comes with the phone itself.
Also, games and apps aren’t reviewed in-depth since a person with common knowledge of what an Android OS is capable of is well aware of what this smartphone can deliver. If you are still wondering if games and apps run smoothly on this device… the quickest answer to that is – fair enough. Not blazingly fast, but not crawling either. Then again, performance varies depending on what app or game is used on it. It works.
No complaints here. For a device that costs Php 3,999.00, you get all the bells and whistles you could ever ask for (except for 3G capability).
What’s your take on the MyPhone A818 Duo?

Hi chuckie Good day ! :) i just wanna asked if my|phone a818 duo is available for instagram? Thanks :) God Bless
August 20, 2012 @ 8:53 PM
Soon. From what I know, MyPhone is currently getting license to use Instagram. It will be available soon. :)
August 21, 2012 @ 7:02 PM
Update… Pwede na magdownload ng Instagram for A818 Duo. You have to go directly to the Google Play Store via browser.
August 20, 2012 @ 7:18 PM
im lovin myphone a818 duo right now.. instagram, games, blogs and emails all run smoothly! :) nice review! proudly pinoy tlga!
August 20, 2012 @ 8:55 PM
You’ve used Instagram on your A818 Duo already? From what I know, MyPhone is still getting their license for Instagram.
August 20, 2012 @ 9:36 PM
I really love my new a818 duo. Im contented and proud as well. Apps from android, instagram, microsoft office and many more. I really love it. Proud pinoy. :))
August 21, 2012 @ 12:15 AM
How were you able to install Instagram on your A818 Duo? Instagram still isn’t available for this phone since MyPhone is still acquiring the license.
August 21, 2012 @ 9:28 AM
I already have an instagram. I downloaded it from google play store. Actually It is the 1st app I downloaded on my A818 Duo. :)
August 22, 2012 @ 5:43 PM

August 29, 2012 @ 7:14 PM
hi.. ilan ang message capacity ng inbox?
September 7, 2012 @ 6:42 PM
This is great! I wanted to see whether this is real or not and when you showed its capabilities, I immediately wanted to buy one na! and with the trade-in madness, I am very sure I can get my money back and more. :) Thanks very much!
September 20, 2012 @ 8:54 PM
inbox msg cap 2500 i think havent really got passed the 2500 mark ^)^
September 22, 2012 @ 11:34 PM
Fair enough! But dual sim siya di ba? So combined messages na ng dalawang sims ang 2,500??
About sa inbox, threaded view ba siya? And may 3×4 virtual keypad ba? Thanks!!
September 23, 2012 @ 2:52 PM
Contact capacity depends on the kind of SIM you have. No built in 4×3 keypad. Messaging thread is quite similar to the iPhone’s. Bubble type.

September 28, 2012 @ 1:17 AM
that was not entirely a review. are you part of myphone sales team? your review is nowhere near any tech reviews i have seen. you can do better than this. sorry but please take this as constructive criticism.
September 28, 2012 @ 2:06 AM
No. I am not part of the sales team. Secondly, if you find my review too shallow or lacking… You’re free to look elsewhere.
October 6, 2012 @ 6:13 PM
i hope next time you give your constructive criticism, appreciate first what the person has done… do you even have a site that also do reviews?
September 28, 2012 @ 11:06 PM
pwede bang gumamit dito ng 2gb memory card lang o kailangan 16gb tlga?
October 6, 2012 @ 8:52 PM
You can use any SD card as long as it doesn’t exceed 16GB.

Hello Sir,I’m Raymond from pampanga balak ko kasing bumili ng android phone ngaun @ very affordable price.ang pinapipilian ko po ngayong bilhin ay this unit which is A818 DUO thats cost only 3999 or SAMSUNG GALAXY POCKET aroung 4700 cost.At nabasa ko sa spects ng dalawang unit na napakalaki ng kaibihin nila,. sa presyo,sa specs,resolution,at lalong lalo na ung camera.ung processor nga lang hindi pero mukhang okay na sya base on its price.ang isang concern ko lang po ay mahilig kc ako sa application,games and sounds.Sa experience nyo po, okay po ba ang ba battery nya?kahit magsounds and do games okay poba ang battery nya.?tumagal din poba?mga ilang oras po ang capacity ng battery nya while gaming and do other application?pakisagot lang po sana.salamat^_^
October 6, 2012 @ 8:54 PM
Ok ang battery ng A818 Duo. Matagal siya pero siyempre depende yan sa paggamit mo. Kung normal usage, it lasts for a long time.
October 2, 2012 @ 2:16 PM
what games can we play on this phone? im planning to buy one. :D
October 2, 2012 @ 2:28 PM

October 12, 2012 @ 3:05 PM
Batt life is good. But it also depends on your personal usage. Siyempre, pag mahilig ka sa games, ubos agad. But battery is pretty solid.
October 9, 2012 @ 7:50 PM
ilang araw po battery life?
October 12, 2012 @ 3:05 PM
Depende sa gamit mo siyempre. Kung di mo gagamitin, matagal. :)
October 10, 2012 @ 12:41 PM

November 3, 2012 @ 11:54 AM
Go to your contacts. Press the “option” button. Dun mo makikita which contacts to hide and to reveal.
November 3, 2012 @ 12:06 PM
only search, new contacts, delete contacts, groups, speed dial, and more (import/export display options, accounts, share visible contacts) are only available. I still haven’t seen the contacts :(
November 3, 2012 @ 12:28 PM
Hi problem solved :) thank you so much :D
November 14, 2012 @ 5:05 AM
may Installment product po ba kayo sa myphone
November 20, 2012 @ 5:30 PM
i just need to delete my contact list but everytime i do so, hindi siya na dedelete! di naman ako naka air plane mode kasi this is what appears after “trying to do so” cannot delete contact while in air plane mode :( but i am just right here in our house …
November 20, 2012 @ 5:58 PM
Try turning device off, remove battery and put it back after about 30secs. It might help. Might. I’ve never encountered a problem like that before. Weird.
November 23, 2012 @ 10:20 PM
kuya, 3999 pa rin ba yung price ng phone na ito until now?
November 24, 2012 @ 1:35 PM
