As you can see on the above comparison table, the first generation RIO got the upper hand for being affordable (500 pesos cheaper) and having a removable battery. Meanwhile, the RIO 2 earn plus points for having a newer Android version, scratch-resistant display, bigger internal storage, bigger battery capacity, higher resolution front camera and free Globe SIM with 1 year internet.

In terms of similarities, although they are a year apart, both still have the same MediaTek MT6582 chipset, 5-inch HD display, 8MP main camera, 1GB RAM and connectivity features. With the advantages mentioned above, is it (the MyPhone RIO 2) worth the higher price tag?
ill go on My Rio 2, just need to add 500 pesos and you'll have better specs!
ReplyDeleteMyPhone RIO 2 is much more better for me :)
ReplyDeleteI think MyPhone RIO 2 won the faceoff

ReplyDeleteLove the specs. This one is different from the myphone cp I've tried :D
ReplyDeleteThe MyPhone Rio 1 is more affordable than the Rio 2. But both still have the same MediaTek MT6582 chipset, 5-inch HD display, 8MP main camera, 1GB RAM and connectivity features. Therefore for it's affordability I would choose Rio 1>
ReplyDeleteOh my non-removable pla batt ng rio2. But overall it is still better than the rio.
