MyPhone A898 – Full Specs
So many speculations have been going around ever since I released the sneak peek of the my|phone A898 a couple of posts ago. Many have been asking about screen size, battery, processor, etc.
Wonder no more because below are the full specs of the my|phone A898 for everyone to feast on.
Hope this sheds some light and answers a ton of your queries. Pretty good specs if you ask me.
For those asking if this phone has 3G, the answer is YES. “UMTS” is 3G.
What do you think? Leave your comments and questions below. Cheers!
UPDATE 1:
For those asking… This is NOT the MyPhone A878. Check the specs of the A898 above and compare it to the specs of the A878. They are different.UPDATE 2:
If you’re looking for the full specs of the MyPhone A878 Duo or if you are confused between both models (cause they actually look quite similar), you can check it out here.UPDATE 3:
You’ll be VERY surprised by how much the regular market price of the MyPhone A898 will be when it comes out. Pleasantly surprised.

September 19, 2012 @ 2:26 PM
wonderful specifications at an affordable price… pero i wish that it would really pass QA (Quality Assurance).. baka matulad sa glitch sa A858 na instead of MEMORY, MENORY ang nakalagay.
September 19, 2012 @ 2:33 PM
no Java and WAP? can it be downloaded on google store or anywhere for the phone?
September 19, 2012 @ 3:22 PM

tnx po pala sa reply
September 24, 2012 @ 12:22 PM
Not today. :)
September 23, 2012 @ 4:12 PM
totoo bang 1 day release lang ito sa september 28? then after nun, hindi na siya ibebenta sa mga kiosk?
September 24, 2012 @ 11:11 AM
i guess pakana lang… un a818 swap madness dati one day promo pero naulit ng 3 times kaya impossible HINDI, kailangan nila ng benta test nila cguro kung maraming papatol sa new model kaya i suggest tago nyo po un pambili at hope sa 3rd release ay masupdated ng ang specs… pero depende din sa sales nila kung marami… your choice be the first buyer o wait patiently.
September 24, 2012 @ 12:20 PM
Ibang unit po yun
September 23, 2012 @ 8:26 PM
flash 11.1 supported na ba to?? and true ba na 4GB RAm & ROM??
September 23, 2012 @ 10:19 PM
pede b iswap ung a858 ko d2 sa a898?…
September 24, 2012 @ 12:21 PM
Not sure. Check with MyPhone outlets. :)
September 24, 2012 @ 12:00 AM
lahat po ba ng android ng myphone is qwerty keypad? hindi sya napapalitan ng alphanumric keypad? thanks..
September 24, 2012 @ 11:09 AM
napapalitan. madaming android keyboard sa google play site, pwede ka mamili ng gusto mo ang customizable pa, yung iba libre yung iba me bayad.
September 24, 2012 @ 12:21 PM
Napapalitan. Pero you will have to check Google play.
September 24, 2012 @ 10:51 AM
Sir Chuck, question po. Naglabas na ang Myphone ng bagong unit. Kaso a878 ang model and not a898. Would that mean to say na parang “beta” or “trial phone” lang ang a878 at meron lalabas na “enhanced” spec which would appear on the a898? Thanks.
September 24, 2012 @ 12:23 PM
A878 is not a beta model. Iba lang ang specs. No 3G.
September 25, 2012 @ 1:26 PM
Alright sir. Thanks for that. I’ll just wait for the a898. It’ll be a nice “what-ever-the-occassion-is” gift to myself. (^^^). . .
but then again. Maybe next year there will be a better model . . . :) heheh.
September 27, 2012 @ 3:38 PM
There will always be better models in the future. Ganun ang technology.
September 24, 2012 @ 10:53 AM
same lng yata ung a878 at a898.
September 24, 2012 @ 12:23 PM
Nope. Diff specs.
September 24, 2012 @ 11:11 AM
is the a878 different from this one o pareho na din ito?
September 24, 2012 @ 12:24 PM
Different.
September 24, 2012 @ 12:32 PM
how much naman po ang pedeng abutin nito in your caculations?
September 24, 2012 @ 12:36 PM
ilan po yung internal memory nitong a878?
September 24, 2012 @ 1:03 PM
is it really different from a878? kase all of the specs were almost the same..only 3g and internal memory ung difference.. can u please clarify this..
September 24, 2012 @ 2:53 PM
Kaya nga iba ang specs kasi ibang modelonang A878.
September 24, 2012 @ 1:31 PM
Hi Chuckie, tutuo ba ito or what you meant was A878? May ini-realese kasi ngayon, and based sa blogs e nakamali daw yung mga nagsabi na A898 ito. Dapat daw A878 ang sinabi. Please clarify. Thank you.
September 24, 2012 @ 1:32 PM
KALA KO BA NAMAN CHUKIE YUNG A898 NA YUNG LALABAS EXCITED PA NAMN AKO !
September 24, 2012 @ 2:54 PM
Sinabi ko ba na yung A898 na ang lalabas? Wala naman akong sinabi diba? Ikaw ang nag-assume. Ang sinabi ko lang, “Malapit na”. :)
September 24, 2012 @ 1:43 PM
ayos kala ko iisa lang yung a898 at a878 buti nalang magkaiba sir chuckie pa pm naman ng price and a898
September 24, 2012 @ 3:16 PM
Sir chuckie, pagpasensyahan niyo na yung iba diyan… ahaha more patience. anyway. any news po ba kung maglalabas sila ng 5in na cp? tsaka meron po bang lalabas pa before a898? para kasing wala pang a888, o kaya a838? meron ba nun? tsaka a848? diba? bago ung may 9? curious lang. baka lang. as always, God bless! [bro fist]
September 24, 2012 @ 3:47 PM
Alam ko may iba pang lalabas na model. May nakita akong mas malaking model pero quiet muna ako dun. Walang 888 na lalabas. :)
September 24, 2012 @ 3:59 PM
Ang kulit ng ibang tao dito, di makuntento. Basta ako, I’ll try na makahabol sa launching ng a878 sa friday pero kung hindi sana hindi maubusan ng stocks once mag-regular price siya. :-D
September 24, 2012 @ 4:40 PM
tanong ko lang po kung upgradable to jelly bean?
September 24, 2012 @ 4:58 PM
May Kasabay Po bang Sale ang A898 Pag Inerealease na po sa market
September 24, 2012 @ 9:47 PM
Not sure. Will update when I get more information.
September 24, 2012 @ 5:46 PM
sir chuck tanong lang po kung itong a898 at a878 e orig model ng myphone or rebranded from other companies. kung rebranded po e ano po orig model name nito. curious lang po ^_^
September 24, 2012 @ 9:46 PM
These are not rebranded China phones. All content and design are made by a Pinoy team. Kaya nga MyPhone is the only local smartphone company that is considered a “Pinoy-Phone”. :)
September 25, 2012 @ 12:29 AM
sir chuck, maybe the content are done by pinoy team but the hardware and design, i dont’ think so. kc ung micromax a45 same xa ng a818 except for the front cam and also mobile phones from QMOBILE and Tinno s8030
similar cla sa a818 at iba pang myphone models.

September 25, 2012 @ 9:57 AM
Hi jay, thank you so much for sharing the link. Based on the links, pwede ngang ni-redesign lang ng pinoy team yun cp design at sinabing “design” na nila ito
September 27, 2012 @ 3:34 PM
Content and design PINOY. Hardware of course and manufacturing is done in China. Kahit iPhone gawa sa China. Lahat naman halos dun na gawa.
September 24, 2012 @ 8:32 PM
Sir Parang ung specs sa taas prang sa A878 yan Diba wlang tv At 3G ang A898 Sana po Confirmed Nyo po ang mga Mistakes T.Y. :D
September 24, 2012 @ 9:44 PM
Ang nakasulat sa specs sa itaas is “TV-Out”. Not “TV”. Walang TV ang A898. TV-Out lang – option to play video on TV… kaya TV-Out ang tawag sa kanya. Wala akong mistake sa specs ko.
September 25, 2012 @ 12:43 AM
Tama po yung pinost ni sir chuck. Yung “A878” po ay murang version ng “A898” na may 3G at Front Cam.
September 25, 2012 @ 12:24 AM
hello po, sir chuck i think mga mid december o november pa to ilalabas… sayang i was so happy na ung bagong release ay ung a898… d pa pala.. pro tnx po xa tip no…

September 25, 2012 @ 6:50 AM

September 27, 2012 @ 3:35 PM
I’m not yet allowed to talk about cost. Pero di masyado nagkakalayo
September 25, 2012 @ 7:50 AM
Buti na lang, they are DIFFERENT animals altogether… Shopping around for a sub 10K for an Android… hmmm, with this development, I am waiting out on a purchase til after Xmas 2012 hehehe

September 30, 2012 @ 2:17 PM

September 25, 2012 @ 11:27 AM
yung RAM tlga, 4GB+4GB stands for, 4GB internal memory and 4GB free sd card,, yung RAM iba siya… kaya sana check nyo muna kung may 4GB na RAM kasi so far ang mataas na alam ko is 2GB and its using S4 Quad-core processor… sana 1GB ang RAM nito.kaya sir.. sana makakuha na kayo ng mga buzz mula sa MyPhone… looking forward to your complete review… ^_^
September 25, 2012 @ 5:17 PM
bka ibig nyang sabihin ung 4gb ay pra xa app storage, at ung other 4gb ay pra xa internal storage.. just like xa CM Paladin my 1gb xa pra xa apps.. at internal storage na 5.60gb
September 26, 2012 @ 12:26 AM
Tama bro… for os yung iba, at app din,,, kaya baka matira is 2GB siguro lang, not sure din eh,,, basta, walang panama ang CM dito… PINOY tlga…

MyPhone A878 Duo Full Specs | All Chucked Up!
September 25, 2012 @ 7:45 PM
[…] A878 Duo, people have been leaving plenty of comments asking if I made a mistake regarding the information I posted about the MyPhone A898. Many have been wondering if I was actually referring to the A878 […]
September 25, 2012 @ 9:46 PM
anu po yng resolution ng A898…? thanks
September 26, 2012 @ 12:28 AM
wvga screen ay mga 800×400 ang resolution nya kung tama ang source ko,,,,so basically 208.01 pixel density…
I hope nakatulong ako.
September 30, 2012 @ 8:33 PM

September 26, 2012 @ 4:53 AM
i’m a huge fan of myphone. been using myphone mobiles since 2009. i really am looking forward to the A898. when will it be out on the market? how much would it cost? thank you for the sneak peek! God bless!
September 26, 2012 @ 11:02 AM

September 27, 2012 @ 9:55 AM
my front cam po ba ung a878???? ito pong a898 meron??? bakit po wala pang image???
September 28, 2012 @ 2:42 PM

September 28, 2012 @ 8:23 PM

September 29, 2012 @ 3:09 AM

September 30, 2012 @ 1:01 PM
hello po, tanong ko lang po sana, kelan po release nito?? salamat po
September 30, 2012 @ 5:55 PM
ano ang GPU nyan?
October 1, 2012 @ 7:16 PM
hey there chuck,
the A898 has the makings of a very good smartphone without the retarded price. but i just want to ask a clarification on the A878.
i visited 3 retailers (actually two myphone stores) today and asked if the a878 has 3g compatibility – and they said yes. one store (memo express festival mall) even showed me that it has tethering functionalities – come to think it, how can you share your internet connection if you don’t have 3G or UTMS?
I read the specs on the box, and it only read gprs / edge. yes, you could connect with gprs, but it’s painfully slow, and share it?
your thoughts, sir?
best regards!
October 1, 2012 @ 7:36 PM
Yes. The A878 Duo doesn’t support 3G contrary to what other vendors say. Most Android smartphones already support tethering so that isn’t surprising. If you’re looking for a 3G unit, the A898 is the one you should look out for. :)
October 1, 2012 @ 9:45 PM
DLNA po ba sya?
October 7, 2012 @ 5:20 PM
Wap and java supported sana. 2 points nlang di pa cnama.
October 1, 2012 @ 9:48 PM
super advantage po ba pag may 3G or ok lng kung wala? I’m still going to buy CM w100 kasi swak nmn specs para sa budget. pero alam kung wala syang panama sa upcoming na myphone a898 duo. sana may big promo this holiday season….
October 8, 2012 @ 11:52 PM
@Arnee Dasig
dpende xa need mo kung kelangan mung na maging updated ka trough social media, browsing the web, watching youtube videos, big advantage xa ksi ang 3G mas mabili kesa EDGE,GPRS,at 2G
October 2, 2012 @ 6:56 PM
astig tong phone na to..Talo pa nito ang ibang phones na mejo kamahalan sa market. and its 3G..good thing it has a flash for a 5mp cam.. makapagipon nga
October 3, 2012 @ 2:07 AM
Ok n sana…. One problem. . . . 1800mAh Battery. Baka di sya gaano tumagal sir.
October 3, 2012 @ 2:11 AM
Aku rin nag reply s comment ku. Haha.
Kung juice lifespan pu. Recommended Lenovo p700.
The best in the market so far with 2500 mAh.
Di nga lang ganun kpwersado specs like our very own
MyPhone A898.
Hmmm. Anu kea bibilihin ku? >.>
October 5, 2012 @ 10:55 PM
@:Lanceey
i think you should also consider buying this phone.. :) its because na ang batt. ng phone na to ay.. Li-poly, not Lithium-ion, remember Li-poly is better and has longer stanby time than Li-ion batteries
October 11, 2012 @ 11:07 AM
Sir hindi naman po sa kinekwestion kita. But you got it all wrong po :D
The lithium-ion battery:
Advantages
* High energy density – potential for yet higher capacities.
* Does not need prolonged priming when new. One regular charge is all that’s needed.
* Relatively low self-discharge – self-discharge is less than half that of nickel-based batteries.
* Low Maintenance – no periodic discharge is needed; there is no memory.
* Specialty cells can provide very high current to applications such as power tools.
Limitations
* Requires protection circuit to maintain voltage and current within safe limits.
* Subject to aging, even if not in use – storage in a cool place at 40% charge reduces the aging effect.
* Transportation restrictions – shipment of larger quantities may be subject to regulatory control. This restriction does not apply to personal carry-on batteries. (See last section)
* Expensive to manufacture – about 40 percent higher in cost than nickel-cadmium.
* Not fully mature – metals and chemicals are changing on a continuing basis.
The lithium Polymer battery:
Advantages
* Very low profile – batteries resembling the profile of a credit card are feasible.
* Flexible form factor – manufacturers are not bound by standard cell formats. With high volume, any reasonable size can be produced economically.
* Lightweight – gelled electrolytes enable simplified packaging by eliminating the metal shell.
* Improved safety – more resistant to overcharge; less chance for electrolyte leakage.
Limitations
* Lower energy density and decreased cycle count compared to lithium-ion.
* Expensive to manufacture.
* No standard sizes. Most cells are produced for high volume consumer markets.
* Higher cost-to-energy ratio than lithium-ion
So there..
You can google it if you want to ^_^
October 3, 2012 @ 7:57 AM
This phone have a front cam right? I saw the upper part of the phone on your sneak peak and I haven’t noticed the front cam, all I saw was the proximity sensor and a notifs light. So does it really have one? Another thing, it is posted on the full specs that this phone is only color black. But, you are holding a white phone on your sneakpeak. So, are they also going to release a white version? Hoping for your reply. Thank you. :)
October 9, 2012 @ 3:55 PM
yes bro paki check naman kung me front cam to talaga. marami nagsasabi meron daw pero sa preview, di ko makita ung front cam na un! un ang naging bentahe ng cm w100 e. pde kasi mag video call.
October 12, 2012 @ 1:57 PM
Yes. May front cam
October 3, 2012 @ 8:05 AM
it depends sa price nya if this will be a good buy. mas maganda nga specs nito sa w900 ng cherry mobile peru kung mas mahal naman, wala rin, basura pa rin to compared to cherry’s flagship phone.
October 4, 2012 @ 11:46 AM
tama.. iphone and black berry is made in china patented lng yan sa US..
October 5, 2012 @ 12:34 PM
kailan ang release date at magkano ang rumor price?
October 5, 2012 @ 4:42 PM
Mukhang mauunahan na sila ng kalaban dahil malapit na i announce ang starmobile astra. Ang a898 wala pang balita. Alin kaya sa dalawa? Myphone kasi tested na matibay while starmobile hindi pa yata. Ok rin ba ang quality ng starmobile?
October 5, 2012 @ 6:38 PM
Hello po ulit, Sir Chuckie! Ask ko lang po. Can the A878 and A898 view and download PDF files through Adobe Reader? Can both phones download an e-book?
October 5, 2012 @ 7:16 PM
Pwede mag PDF. Just download a free e-book reader from the Google Play Store.
October 5, 2012 @ 9:51 PM
hi sir chuckie ask ko lang po when po probably i launch ung myphone a898 at ano po estimated price para makaphanda po kami… Thanks
October 6, 2012 @ 11:37 AM
Sir Chuck! Idol, Magkano kaya ito pag inilabas na sa market? sana umabot ito sa Tagbilaran City, Bohol.
October 6, 2012 @ 3:00 PM
hey chuck, is the 898 nfc ready?
October 6, 2012 @ 7:55 PM
Will this be able to support skype video call? Thank you. :)
October 6, 2012 @ 8:51 PM
Yes. It’s 3G and it has a front cam. :)
October 7, 2012 @ 3:29 PM
meron na po bang exact date kung kailan siya marerelease at price? parang mas astig kasi a898 eh kaya baka hindi na yung a878 ang bilhin ko XD. salamat sa mga info! :D
October 7, 2012 @ 9:01 PM
Malapit na. Magugulat ka sa price. Mura. :)
October 7, 2012 @ 10:30 PM
salamat ng marami sa review sir! mas nagkaroon ako ng reason na tangkilikin ang my|phone dahil sa reviews mo from the previous versiong ng phone nila :D
October 8, 2012 @ 12:07 PM
How much? Pls. Reply wid the exact amount. Ilang gig ung mmcf meron xang kasama s pag purchase?
October 8, 2012 @ 8:06 PM
May kasamang memcard. Sorry, cannot mention exact amt muna. :)
October 11, 2012 @ 9:44 PM
I’m totally getting paranoid. Price nalang aabangan. Bec. Gud specs na sya. Hope na cheaper xa. Napaka daming competitors kc like cherry, torque and star mobile. I’m tired reviewing all of this so sana pasok ung price and we will buy 3 units its for me and for my family. One thing nalang chuck! Can u tell us if mag launch ung a898 duo this oct. Or not? Un nlang ? Nmin hndi n kung how much. Tnx. More power!
October 12, 2012 @ 3:28 PM
Perhaps this month. But I cannot confirm yet since things like that are up in the air pa. But I do know that price is very affordable.
October 8, 2012 @ 12:32 PM
kailan kaya ito ilo-launch? sana this october or first week ng november.. CAN’T WAIT !! haha :D
October 8, 2012 @ 9:53 PM
salamat po sa info sir chukie. buti na lang at nakapagpigil pa ako kanina. i bought my wife an A878 yesterday at pinagaaralan naming gamitin. satisfied kami at decided na rin akong magpalit ng phone tulad ng binili ko sa kanya. ngayon ko lang nakita itong post mo habang pinagaaralan ko pa over sa internet ang mga features at capabilities ng A878. definitely i’ll wait for the A898 at sana malapit na. 7k yung bili ko maybe di ito tatawid ng 10k, sulit na sulit kaysa mag iphone or s3 at compared sa ibang brand subok ko na rin ang myphone na durable at reliable.
October 9, 2012 @ 2:11 PM
You’re welcome. Thanks din! :)
October 8, 2012 @ 10:36 PM
May nabasa ako.. Ang MyPhone a898 ay lalabas ng last week ng Oct. or first week ng Nov.. P7999 ang SRP.. whoooo… sna nga totoo toh.. CAN’t WAIT !!
October 9, 2012 @ 10:31 AM
I don’t think it would be P7999, kasi 7999 na yung SRP ng A878 eh. Di naman siguro same price kasi taob ang a878 niyan.
October 9, 2012 @ 10:37 AM
P6999 po ang SRP ng MyPhone a898.. =))
October 9, 2012 @ 7:28 PM
6999 po ang SRP ng MyPhone 878 (sorry, typo..)
7999 nmn ang 898.. =)
October 9, 2012 @ 2:30 AM
tnx sa info chuck..:) kung totoo ang nabangit na price,by dec.kya mas maging mura pa ng kunti ang price nya?xDD..
October 9, 2012 @ 2:12 PM
Basta pag labas niyan, mura yan. Salamat din. :)
October 11, 2012 @ 1:57 PM
sir Chuck… nice to know you have this website. and your into affordable technology. susubaybayan ko na mula ngayon tong site ninyo… web designer po ako pero talagang wala akong oras magmaintain na gaya nitong site.. ito ren po talaga ang mga balak kong i-maintain na site dati. pero celeb na kayo and still you got the time to showcase the things that you love. kudos sir Chuck!
definitely the gadget to watch out for. myphone is really into this smartphone race.
October 12, 2012 @ 3:24 PM
Thank you bro. Hilig ko lang talaga. Subukan mo magmaintain in ng techblog kung hilig mo. Di naman kailangan regular. Basta may naipopost ka. Kaya yan! :)
October 9, 2012 @ 1:56 PM
magkakatalohan dito ang star mobile astra ahaha…let us see who will give a big and a nice deal.sabayan daw sila
October 9, 2012 @ 2:14 PM
Nagkakatalo sa aftersales. Remember… MyPhone has Sony Service Center.
October 9, 2012 @ 6:03 PM
Pag na Release ito Nationwide poh buh.?
October 12, 2012 @ 1:58 PM
I would suppose so. :)
October 9, 2012 @ 9:50 PM
Sana marelease na siya agad.
October 10, 2012 @ 12:04 AM
Chuckie, just to clarify, that’s 4gb internal memory + 4gb ram?
Thanks much bro
October 10, 2012 @ 4:18 PM
my babe got the a878 and its really cool. Camera i very superb as well as the the other apps. I like the idea of the screen size not that big and not that small.Reasonable price also. I give my 99% thumbs up to it.. Now i am wondering how much more when this a898 released. :))
October 12, 2012 @ 3:11 PM
You’ll be surprised how close the price will be to the A878
October 12, 2012 @ 4:22 PM
baket kaya ganon price strategy ng MP?
halos same target market sa pricing. pero may danger na masurpass nung bagong models ung mga big brothers nila. hhhmmm… di kaya gamble ito sa part ng MP?
October 10, 2012 @ 4:21 PM
lupit naman ng ram 4gb, walang katulad for the win, kulang nalang yun lte at nfc. hopefully less than 7k hehehe. wishful dreaming. hehehe
October 10, 2012 @ 6:05 PM
how much po ung a898?
October 10, 2012 @ 6:32 PM
Tnx for the reply chuck I really appriciate it. I can’t wait for the launching of a898 duo.
October 12, 2012 @ 3:21 PM
Malapit na! Oh… You’re welcome :)
October 12, 2012 @ 7:27 PM
Pls. Have a unboxing review paglabas ng a898 duo. And paki post nman po ung list ng add. Of sony service center for our info. Tnx! :-)
October 13, 2012 @ 3:34 AM
Will do. :)
October 10, 2012 @ 9:10 PM
:: My WILD Analysis ::
Kaya “SIGURO” hindi pa inaanounce ang release date ng My|Phone a898 eh dahil uunahan nila ang pag-launch ng StarMobile Astra na kung susuriin, di nagkakalayo ang kanilang specs. Hindi pa rin sinasabi ang release date ng Astra kaya hindi makapagsalita ng tapos ang MyPhone.. (Mag-uunahan kumbaga =])
but, I’m still waiting for My|Phone a898!!
SANA NGAYONG OCTOBER NA… =))
October 11, 2012 @ 2:33 PM
di pa pala release ang Astra?
hehehe ang deal breaker lang sa dalawa eh sana magkaroon ng last minute changes sa screen. hehehe gawing HD
October 11, 2012 @ 2:34 PM
sorry for posting again.. just would like to add that the specs are also close to that of Lenovo P700i.
October 11, 2012 @ 7:02 PM
oo nga no.. mejo parehas din sila ng specs.. kaya lang, masyadong mahal ung Lenovo p700i.. =)
October 19, 2012 @ 10:24 PM
Possible pa din b makrecieve and makapg send ng mms ang a898 even n hndi xa wap capable?
October 12, 2012 @ 3:25 PM
Pag ginawang HD, magiiba presyo ng phone.
October 11, 2012 @ 12:42 AM
Gosssshhhhh!!!! CAN’T WAIT! I’m wishing that they will release a white color of A898 too. That will be more satisfying for me. ;) thanks for posting this blog! So helpful! :)
October 12, 2012 @ 3:22 PM
You’re welcome. :)
October 11, 2012 @ 7:28 AM
balita ko nga ehh strategy un ng starmobile ehh …banggaan sila hahahah
October 11, 2012 @ 10:48 AM
kylan poh marelease ung a898…….
October 11, 2012 @ 10:49 AM
sana mailabas din agad dito sa baguio…
October 11, 2012 @ 6:05 PM
reasonable price nalang ang paguusapan.. f mahal din di din papatok bec. Parating ung astra and anjan pa lenovo, cherry, torque and etc. Still waiting for the launching.
October 12, 2012 @ 3:26 PM
Remember, it’s all about after-sales. Pag nagloko or nagkaproblema ka sa phone mo, saan mo itatakbo ang unit mo para ipagawa?
October 12, 2012 @ 7:32 PM
Sana makasama din sa gsmarena ang myphone para makita din ng mga banyaga ung cp na proudly pinoy. I’m sure maaamaze cla s specs. And price na my ganito pa lang cp s pinas. :-)
October 12, 2012 @ 8:25 AM
Aaaargh! Still no signs of launching! I’m getting impatient! Hook me up my phone! Price nalang.. baka masungkit pa ako ng cherry,torque or starmobile f hi price ka… buti nlang naka tablet ako bec. F not mapwepwersa ako na mag buy ng android phone. I don’t care if wat brand. For me its just a name. I want to pay for the specs. Not for the name brand. Lahat ng gadgets ngayon is all china made even iphone. :-)
October 12, 2012 @ 10:27 AM
yep very true! lahat gawa sa China. and there are also different grades of plastic used. depende sa budget ng company na magpapagawa sa China. hehehehe
Look at Lenovo now, hehehehe taking the upper hand in the PC industry. so dont cancel out gadgets porke made in China. matakot kayo pag di gawa sa China yan. haha walang after sales support yan locally.
October 12, 2012 @ 3:12 PM
Ok lng kht ordinary plastic housing lang bec. My alternative cases nman jan para di magasgas ung unit ang importante is specs. And my mga service center din nman ang cherry, starmobile and torque na no. 1 competitors ng myphone. Actually I want myphone but my daughter told me na kung cnu ung mura n my gud specs dun kami wich is reasonable. That’s y I want myphone to hook me. :-)
October 12, 2012 @ 3:25 PM
Maybe u r correct but lenovo n p700i cguro ung tinutukoy mo. Men mahal xa and mababa internal mem. Nia compare s a898 and di nia matatapatan ang myphone bec. For sure mas mataas ang taxation nila imported kc di din uubra pang masa lenovo f itatapat s myphone. Ang true competitors ng myphone na talagang nkikipag sabayan s kanya is cherry,torque and starmobile idagdag mo p ang will phone ni willy revillame. :-)
October 12, 2012 @ 3:34 PM
Smart buying lang po ako sir just clarifying di po ako nkikipag talo just saying wats in my mind. Hope u understand and kaw n lumagay s position ko na every year 3 units ang buy ko for my family that’s y I’m reviewing all units ng myphone,cherry n dumagdag pa ang star mobile and torque. Suite kc s budget. Last yr po is 3 unit ng dragonhone ang binili ko for me and for my family xmpre xmas na gift ko s knila n mg upgade nnman. Suggest po un specs. Ang bayaran hndi ung tibay ng plastic housing.
October 12, 2012 @ 3:47 PM
No comments na ako. I’ll just sit and wait for the launching para matapos na ang mga spekulasyoeven getting paranoid. Wahaha!
October 12, 2012 @ 3:38 PM
Don’t just pay for specs alone. Look further than that. Think about aftersales. Who has a reputable service center to fix your unit kung magkaproblema ka?
October 12, 2012 @ 3:54 PM
I agree.
October 12, 2012 @ 4:18 PM
sir chuck. you have mentioned once, na Sony ang sumasalo as service center ng myphone?! can you confirm that? Sony, and not Sonyericsson?!
October 12, 2012 @ 7:34 PM
Sony poh not sonyericson ang sabi ni chuck.
October 13, 2012 @ 3:32 AM
Yes. Sony. Sony Ericsson has ceased to exist.
October 12, 2012 @ 8:36 AM
Guys and girls! Pay for the specs. Not for the brand name. F cno ang my gud specs. And cheap price wid good service after sales un ang true na pang masa and pang pinoy talaga. So we must challenge the 4 big mobile company ( cherry, myphone,starmobile and torque ) GUD SPECS., CHEAP PRICE, NICE SREVICE AND UPDATES AFTER SALES YUN ANG MANANALO AND WILL CONQUER THE MOBILE SALES. :-) :-) :-)
October 12, 2012 @ 11:34 AM
sir chuck, ano po status ng battery ng a898? kapag stand-by and talk-time?
-waiting 4 ur response.. =]
October 12, 2012 @ 2:25 PM
Rumor is 8,999. Hmm? Let’s see f wat the competitors will do. Xmpre sikat n my phone they will released much More gud specs than a898 at the same price range. Hay! Nid to review nnman for the new phones sakit talaga sa ulo every ber months. Every yr nalang kc nag uupgrade ng unit. Hayst! My phone pls. Do hook me up to your low price. 3 units ang buy nmin ng family ko.
October 12, 2012 @ 4:19 PM
nice competitive price… sana ganyan lang. hehehe yung tablets din ilabas na. baka may mga dual core tabs na sila naka pila jan. (i.e. Pipo)
October 12, 2012 @ 7:09 PM
I’ll wait for the tablet pero di lang un my lalabas pa na phone na mas bigger ang screen daw. Not so sure but not impossible my phone is getting better and powerfull. :-)
October 13, 2012 @ 10:34 AM
surely, they will also break the into the 5″ arena.
October 12, 2012 @ 5:15 PM
sir could you PLEASE if you know now or when you are told the real RAM it comes with. 1 gb will do even S3 1 gb lang THank you po
October 12, 2012 @ 5:19 PM
i guess sir chuck will agree with this if i say it was a technical fault for MP… RAm is not around 4gb obviously… thats too much for a smartphone handset. i guess its 1gb if not 720mb.
i think they were referring to the memory card that comes along with the package. and the phone’s internal memory altogether.
hence 4GB + 4GB
October 12, 2012 @ 6:14 PM
Thank you . Hopefully 1 gb ram. Honestly I dont really know what ram specs is needed for good smoth gaming ( action, racing, fighting ) and watch Youtube ( 480p) mostly.. Kung 512 MB lang RAM ba okey na for both purpose , if not what is the least RAM needed for my usage . No multi tasking. Kung gaming gaming lang .Tapusin muna game before watching youtube.
October 13, 2012 @ 10:28 AM
512mb ram is also enough. ICs can handle the memory traffic well enough, shempre wag lang heavy graphics. halimbawa, NBA 2K13, baka sinukin na si A898. but then we’ll see. iba pa ren ang real world experience. baka mali ako.
October 12, 2012 @ 6:08 PM
Sir for gaming okey na ba yung 512 RAM that you think it will have ? as far as gaming alone will it based on specs give the same experience ( no lagging ) as the galaxy S2 na 1GB RAM. Kasi mga action/racing/fighting games ang type ko Also watching youtube video (480p mostly at most 720p very seldom)
Kung no difference or no noticable difference eh eto na siguro kunin ko instead of S2 para makatipid.
Yung specs niya sabi MEMORY 4GB +_4GB. So you think this is a typo and not RAM ? If So what do you think this means ?
Also yung battery niya Lipolymer . How does it differ to Li-ion as seen commonly in cellphones. If say 2 same phones with same specs and usage but 1 has 1800 mah lipolymer and the other has 1800 mah li-ion , which will have a longer battery life and about how many % longer battery life ? Which type of battery is more durable ?
October 12, 2012 @ 7:19 PM
In actual gud n ung 512 in my xperience pero much better f mas mataas ung ram for multi tasking and iba pa din ung 1 gb na ram kc f ever n kapusin ung 512 mag rerestart ang unit mo automatically kaya nga ung low ram like Lg optimus l3 and alcatel glory x nid mag d.load ng task killer para hndi mag restart ung unit. Correct me f I’m wrong.
October 13, 2012 @ 10:31 AM
well, with android, siguro yung Froyo lang and lower ang ganon. pero ung mga bagong OS, like GB, ICS and JB. meron na silang mas magandang memory handling. kaya hindi na mag rerestart yung unit. ang mangyayari, mag stop lang sha for a certain time just to kill the unnecessary backround apps, then back to work.
October 12, 2012 @ 7:24 PM
PARA PO SA PAULIT ULIT NA NAGTATANONG 3G NA PO ANG MYPHONE A898 AND MY FRONT FACING CAM PO XA NA POSSIBLE S VIDEO CALLING. DUAL CAM NA POH FOR SHORT. :-)
October 12, 2012 @ 11:08 PM
grabe.. magfa-5 months na kong nagtsatsaga sa CPng gamit ko.. pag-alarm ko nlng ito kc walang magawa.. ANG TAGAL kasi lumabas nitong Myphone a898..
October 18, 2012 @ 1:22 AM
Lalabas din a898. Baka mas mainip ka f a919 pa wait mo.
October 12, 2012 @ 11:37 PM
di po ba? a878 po ito kuya chukie?..
October 13, 2012 @ 12:00 AM
Its a898 po not a878. Magkaiba poh cla. 3g n po ung a898.
October 13, 2012 @ 2:48 PM
anu ba magkaiba kung may 3g ang a898? sa wala
October 15, 2012 @ 2:43 PM
Mas advance poh my 3g ung phone phone pag mag browse poh and when watching youtube etc.
October 16, 2012 @ 12:54 PM
pag nka 3g ka malakas ang internet connection mo kahit simcard lang gamit mo kahit wlang wifi.
kesa sa gprs lang ang bagal.
October 12, 2012 @ 11:42 PM
Meron Kaya itong update for Jellybean para may offline voice typing/dictation ?
Pag may updates for myphone firmware…. Madali ba like Samsung KIES or medyo complicated gawin so jus bring to service center to have them do updating when there are updates available.
October 13, 2012 @ 8:57 PM
Hello po. Ano pong pagkakaiba nito sa Galaxy Nexus???? Thanks po in advance!!
October 16, 2012 @ 11:50 AM
Ang pagkakaiba nila is may pang date ka pa na matitira na pera pag ng myphone ka kc mas mura. So buy my phone and enjoy ur date. :-) sa specs ok ang my phone.
October 14, 2012 @ 6:57 PM
ka punta ko lang sa myphone store wa pa raw silang idea kung kelan ito rerelease.
October 14, 2012 @ 9:40 PM
kuya chuckie, pansin ko lang po dyan sa standard package, ano po yung handset???
October 15, 2012 @ 10:29 AM
am using a P700 now and considering changing to P700i but i read somewhere that the A898 is better. maybe so according to specs above but the p700i has a major advantage with its 2500mAh battery – that’s a lot of super juice!!!! and it really outlasts my S2, Note, iphone4s!!!! darn!!!
October 15, 2012 @ 1:25 PM
o_O
October 16, 2012 @ 11:30 AM
Is it true na may lalabas pang a919 by my phone? Nasa flyers na daw. Pls reply.
October 16, 2012 @ 11:47 AM
Removable b ung batt. Ng a898? Para f ever na low batt madaling palitan wid xtra batt.?
October 17, 2012 @ 8:30 AM
Para san ung wap? Makakapag internet pa din ba ung a898 tru load convertion kahit wlang wap?
October 17, 2012 @ 8:50 AM
Ano effect s phone pag wala pong wap? Eh di b un ung browser ng phone?
October 17, 2012 @ 9:46 AM
WAP is a network, more like the internet. but for much smaller devices (i.e. mobile phones). you connect through it via GPRS (its a service) on 2G or 3G.
para sa mga lumang phone, pag may WAP astig kasi makaka browse ka sa internet via your phone.
October 17, 2012 @ 11:04 PM
Ah ok dats gud info for me so u mean dina ganun kaimportant ung wap kc 2g and 3g nman na ung a898?
October 17, 2012 @ 11:09 PM
yes marc, since android has its own browser and can render html pages like a regular desktop browser… its just but ok. and since WAP is layed out more simpler than HTML, its clear that the phone can handle that as well.
October 18, 2012 @ 6:46 PM
kuya chuck,is a898 has upgradable up to 4.1 jelly bean or up to 5?
October 19, 2012 @ 2:38 AM
Sorry. Not upgradable.
October 15, 2012 @ 2:49 PM
I think ang abvantage ng myphone is cheaper sa lenovo mo and gawang pinoy. Tangkilikin ang sariling atin..
October 15, 2012 @ 4:29 PM
tanong lang din.. saka kay sir Chuck.
gawang pinoy ba talaga ang myphone? or ginawa lang sa Pinas (assembled)?
kasi yung hardware na gamit dito eh OEM din at may mga devices na may striking similarities sa specs with this one. to mention one, its the Lenovo P700 = MP A878.
October 16, 2012 @ 11:34 AM
My phone is assembled in china also. Pero ung buong concept including research and development is from my phone here in the phil. Ganun din ung ibang co. Like iphone and Lg.
October 15, 2012 @ 11:52 AM
html5 po ba ung browser nito
October 15, 2012 @ 2:53 PM
buy a real phone! wlang kakwenta kwenta to. IPS display? hahaha. cheap!!
October 15, 2012 @ 4:08 PM
Yap its cheap phone kaya nga pinoy phone for juan dela cruz.. pero much better nman cguro to kesa sa gamit mong nokia 5110. Bwahaha and u must be day dreaming that u hav an iphone. Chill lng pero bato bato s langit ang tamaan bukol. Cheap pala eh bakit ka ngbabasa ng mga comments dito. Dun ka sa hi ends. Bec. Dito we r paying for specs., service after sales and not for d brand names. :-)
October 17, 2012 @ 11:13 PM
very well said marcj…hehe…GO MYPHONE!!!
October 15, 2012 @ 3:01 PM
Galing ako s myphone store yesterday. Sadly hndi pa din naka release ung a898. Huhuhu! And take note ubos ung stock nila a878. Best seller nila un ngayon. Grabe dami n gumagamit talaga ng myphone. :-)
October 15, 2012 @ 3:27 PM
Baka end of the week of October pa ang release nito..
October 15, 2012 @ 4:47 PM
ako naman, nung nag visit ako sa SM Dept. myPhone kiosk sa MOA. tinanong ko ung isang sales lady dun about A878 kung dual core ba sha, sagot saken single core lang daw. nahawakan ko sha pero di ko na in-on, i think hindi pa mashadong naibahagi sa mga reps ang tunay na details nung binebenta nila.
October 16, 2012 @ 11:54 AM
Di mo na dapat tinanung humiram ka sana ng box nung unit kc andun ung specs.
October 17, 2012 @ 9:40 AM
hehee di na ren. alam ko naman sa sarili ko eh. no need to push it through her face.
October 15, 2012 @ 5:56 PM
if the a878 is selling that well then baka madelay release 898 para mas marami mabenta 878 tapos when the 898 comes out and people come to know na 3g na rin eto, benta nila 878 sa sulit or wherever then bili naman 898 . Eh di mas marami units mabebenta total units 878 +898 ang Myphone di ba . Kaya siguro kahit pahapyas eh ayaw bangitin ito sa namamahagi nang facebook page nila about 898.
REMOVABLE BA battery nito ? How about the 878. coz kung removable eh di bili nalang extra battery or portable battery charger di ba . mas mura parin kesa say bumili nang galaxy s2 or the like
October 19, 2012 @ 2:24 AM
Yes. Removable battery. :)
October 15, 2012 @ 6:17 PM
ano bang okey but affordable na portable charger for myphone that can also work with other cellphones na good quality, perforamcne and durabikity na di naman kalakihan para komportable sa pocket/bulsa at readily available sa mga malls.
kung heavy gamer , tapost video taking pa 1800 mah may not be enough to last a day. Buti na sigurado
Thanks
October 16, 2012 @ 11:56 AM
Dala ka charger cgurado un kht mamutla ka kalalaro di ka malolobatt. :-)
October 17, 2012 @ 9:47 AM
search for belkin power pack. 1600mhz yata.
mga around P800…
October 19, 2012 @ 2:27 AM
MiLi Charger is ok. Comes with assorted plugs for all smartphones. Perfect portable power supply. :)

Its simple kailangan maibenta muna ung certain no. Of units ng a878 b4 irelease ung a898. Dahil cnu n magbuy ng a878 if meron nang a898. And f true na my a919 ganun din gagawin nila kailangan bumenta muna ung new unit nila b4 irelease ung inaadvertize nila. :-)
October 16, 2012 @ 9:49 PM
eto po yung proof na may a898 tlg silang irerelease. meron p nga silang a919 na irerelease din kasi nakaindicate dyan yung mga phone kahit ung mga di pa narerelease na kasali s promo nila. http://www.myphone.com.ph/#!promo-mechanics/c23bo
October 16, 2012 @ 10:25 PM
hmm ano kaya spec nang 919 ? baka jellybean na, baka 4.5 screen 1gig ram (if so the 898 may be 512 ram like 878, 8mp cam dual flash…. ang daming possibility. Sir Chucy where are you ? Investigate pls specs kasi kung promo say before jan 15 baka sabay ilabas 898 and 919
October 16, 2012 @ 11:37 PM
Di ko na mahihintay ung a919 even na lam ko mas maganda specs nun and much wider screen. Galing ako s myphone kiosk but still no sign of a898. Ang sbi ng saleslady madami p daw lalabas n new units ng myphonend puro ics and 3g.

But how many colors does it have?
November 2, 2012 @ 9:31 PM
1st week daw ng November ilalabas ang A898, 7499 pa rin price nya:D
November 3, 2012 @ 7:30 AM
Nagtanong ako sa Myphone booth sa SM Pampanga this Friday lang. Wala pa daw. Pero pagpasok ko sa Edgecom, may nakita ako. Kaya lang nagdalawang isip ako kung bibili. Naisip ko kasi baka fake naman yung nasa Edgecom.
November 3, 2012 @ 9:48 AM
Sir Chuck, november na po ngayon.. Available na kaya itong A898 model ng My Phone? Nagcacanvass kasi ako ng murang smartphone yet impressive at sa tingin ko durable din.. Nag-isip ako between A878, Cherry Mobile Titan at ito ngang A898.. Mas angat sa akin na bilhin tong A898.. Sana po eh maging available na rin sa market nowadays..
November 3, 2012 @ 9:47 PM
May nakita rin ako kanina sa Fonerange sa SM Clark. meron din. At ang Fonerange ay di nagbebenta ng imitation kaya palagay ko availabla na talaga siya. 7,499 ang presyo niya.
November 8, 2012 @ 11:37 PM
sir d mu ba natanung kung available cya sa sm clark?
November 9, 2012 @ 5:03 AM
Sa SM Clark nga yung Fonerange na sinasabi ko. Available siya dun. Pati sa Edgecom, SM Pampanga.
November 9, 2012 @ 7:58 AM

November 9, 2012 @ 8:46 PM
You’re welcome. Baka mapagpalit mo yung store. FoneRange sa SM Clark at Edgecom sa SM Pampanga. May Edgecom din kasi sa SM Clark pero wala silang A898.
November 5, 2012 @ 11:01 PM

pihado Vin, maglalabas ng affordable quaddies si MP, kasi sila Mediatek at Qualcomm magla-launch ng affordable quadcore processors early next year. kaya exciting ang mobile computing sa 2013. malulula tayo sa mga afffordable gadgets.
