Today, I want to share with you my amazing experience with MyPhone Rio Craze.

Before I got this Rio Craze, I was little confused about what smartphone should I buy because there are lots of varieties of smartphones available on the market.

It was 6th of Dec. 2014 when I went to the mall and looked for the gadget store. There, I was hopping in every gadget kiosk and fortunately I spotted the MyPhone kiosk which one of my preferred brand. At the moment I was seeing their phones, I was caught by MyPhone Rio Craze displayed in the stole glass by its slim design and eye-catching color. I was encourage by its features and specs which are listed below:

Android 4.4 KitKat
4" capttive touchscreen
1.3GHz Dual Core
1.3MP Main Camera with Front Cam
Dual Sim
WiFi

These features really suits to my needs and budget. Now, I can stay connected with my friends and family through social media as it can install Facebook and other social media apps, games for entertainment, for recreation and leisure like dictionaries, e-commerce, education and a lot more helpful apps whenever I'm connected to WiFi. It also increases my contacts as it has two sim slots which I can insert sims with different networks. Through this, I can manage and save my contacts with the same network like Globe and the other like Smart. Aside from that, I am able to watch videos comfortably with it's 4 inches wide captive screen with good screen resolution. I can also took selfies through front camera with my best angle post and the beautiful scenery as my background or capture every moment using rear camera whether picture or video recording and save my files to SD Card which is expandable up to 32 GB. It also supports screen shot which I sometimes use to capture my activity on-screen. Another feature I like is its signal LED at the right side of the speaker because whenever I received messages, notifications or missed a call it keeps on blinking on green color even when the screen sleeps unless I have already viewed all it. It also keeps on blinking on red color when the battery level reaches to 15% or lesser. See? This signal LED reminds me if I have received a message and the like when I left my phone in my bag all night and checked it by morning. Aside from its features, what I like most from MyPhone Rio Craze is its affordability which only costs Php1999.00 only. It is really a reasonable price for a "budgetarian" like me.

Its been one and a half year now since I bought this amazing smartphone which I really enjoyed using it and found it very useful to me. Thanks MyPhone!
