MyPhone Rio 2 and Rio 2 Lite are Now Officially Launched

After a couple of leaked images showing the smartphones itself and their respective specs, MyPhone has officially launched their two new most awaited smartphones of the year the Rio 2 and the Rio 2 Lite. As expected the devices sports new upgrades in terms of software, some technical stuff and physical design, but not as much as many bloggers expected them to be.

Since the local smartphones and tablets community has heard that MyPhone was indeed going to release new generation of Rio devices, many had speculated that this time we were going to see a much bigger display, higher resolution, higher processor and RAM on the new Rio 2 just like we normally see on new flagships from the likes of Samsung and Apple. Unfortunately no, most of the expected specs did not make to this year's Rio 2 phones. But still we see some significant updates on these new smartphones like the Android 5.0 Lollipop which is the first local smartphones to sport the newest mobile OS (other than non-Android One devices) and the internal storage has been doubled since the first wave of Rio smartphones. Perhaps next year we'll see more high end specs for next-gen Rio phones, we don't know. See the devices specs and prices below.
