MyPhone Iceberg versus MyPhone Vortex |
MyPhone released two flagships in less than 3 months, first the Agua Iceberg last July and the Agua Vortex this month. Many people said that this is some sort of "Product Cannibalism" but some believed that it is a great marketing tool. Time will only tell which is which and most of us probably will never know. Read more to know who has the greater potential.

The Iceberg takes on the challenge with a slightly lower price and higher battery capacity but Vortex returned the blow with expandable storage and added 1MP to its camera. The screen size is about preference, they have the same resolution but different pixel count due to their sizes.

then Starmobile or CherryM out with phone model labeled "Poseidon" :D
ReplyDeletei am buying one of these myphone powerhouse models... i need to finalize soon... however, since they are pretty much the same animal, i would like to know more about the battery performance!
ReplyDeleteAng hirap naman mamili sa dalawa.. :(
ReplyDeleteIceberg, who needs to expand to 32gb?! May USB OTG naman eh at better battery pa! :D
ReplyDeleteyeah, but the "better battery" is to compensate for the bigger screen which use up more battery power, so all in all, same lang din yung batter nila
Deleteand just to mention it will be a harder decision between the two kase yung sa vortex ay removable, meaning pwede kang kumuha ng spare.
Deletecan you install apps in usb OTG? not sure if rooting this phone will do that. might be something to think about.
ReplyDeleteIceberg has a unremovable battery though. I dont think 2600mah can last a day with a screen like that
ReplyDeleteSana dalawa ang bulsa ko
ReplyDeletei go for vortex... 5.7 inches is not for day to day use.
ReplyDeletei want vortex.... walalng
ReplyDeleteVortex FTW!!! syempre dun ka sa expandable kung techie ka. 16 g is not enough since kakain pa ng space yung OS at sa high def pics malamang sandali lang mapuno ang 16 gig =)
ReplyDeleteVortex but you need extra battery, to extend your net browsing.
ReplyDeleteVortex has it all.. I would recommend all Filipinos who can afford this price to acquire this unit. All quality phones put together = My/Phone VORTEX
ReplyDeleteKahit alin ang magustuhan ninyo maganda pareho, ako iceberg gamit ko ok naman ang batt, nanonood ako ng series doon for more than 5 hrs..malakas lang sa batt pagnagshare k ng internet(wi-fi spot)...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comparison! I'm planning to get a new one probably on March. I remember when I got my myphone a888 a day before its release then it got cheaper several months after. >__<
ReplyDeleteGuys! ano dpat gwin? may nalabas kasi na Alert sa Iceberg q.. "Please remove Battery, Out of Temperature"
ReplyDeletenag start ndn nya mamatay mag isa.. tapos kpag bubuhayin mo ng Full charge p nmn.. ngging Battery Low.. at kelangan agad i charge..
is this, phone defect? i havent done anything.. wla pa to 4 months sakin.. and still warranty covered.. hnd q dn sya nalalaglag..
is it the case to affect too? after using Leather case, the notice starts to appear repeatedly..
Please Help!..
I just bought Myphone Vortex and I would prefer the Vortex is better than the Iceberg (Opinion) but when Iceberg Mini released I was amazed. my cousin is using Iceberg I like the features yeah the screen is much bigger but when it comes to durable and handy thing I would prefer Vortex. I can store a lot of games and I love it. the vortex white is pretty :D
ReplyDeleteGanyan din un iceberg ko. Kelangan nang palitan battery. Napalitan na; sa sony service center. Battery plus labor, p1000. 0936 436 8248 ang cp# ko, kung meron ka pang tanong.
ReplyDeleteMeron pa po kaya brand new neto? :)
