EXCLUSIVE: MyPhone Agua Iceberg Official Specs, Features, Photos

MyPhone has an upcoming flagship android phone that it expected to set the competition on fire as it will be the first ever locally branded smartphone to sport an aluminum back cover. But is that all? No, it’s not. We have some official information that you should know. Check it out after the jump.

As some of you may know, we have a friend who has access to all sorts of MyPhone stuff that’s why we’ve been able to get official specs and other details ahead of its official announcement here on NoypiGeeks. Today, we’ve reached out to him again and he gladly gave us all the information that we’ve all been waiting for.

New naming scheme

EXCLUSIVE: MyPhone Agua Iceberg Official Specs, Features, Photos

Before anything else, let’s start with the name. My source told me that MyPhone is going to a new direction of naming their devices and they are now ditching the My Phone Axxx brand in this release. To start it out, they’ve decided to name this device as “MyPhone Agua Iceberg”. The name is literally cool, right?

No more Philippine Map on Smartphones

MyPhone listened to customer’s concerns as they will now start excluding the Philippine map on their future smartphones. However, feature and bar phones will continue to have it on their back covers. This issue has been discussed immensely throughout the web and on our comments section too. There are mixed opinions and it always come to a point where the nationalism of a person is being questioned. Well, at least the arguments will be put to rest now.
