Added Features of would expect and to love on MyPhone Iceberg:

Clever Motion Feature – allows you to use specific commands or gestures to easily control your ICEBERG. Simply wave-to capture images, hold iceberg right next to your ear to answer calls and many more. (Wave to Unlock / Wave to Capture Image / Wave to DIM (Off screen) / Clever Dial / Clever Answer / Flip to Mute / Flip to Loudspeaker)

Wireless Display – MyPhone Agua Iceberg will also have a TV-out like feature but is said to be wireless. There will be an accessory which will be sold separately after launch of the device. Our source is still confirming more information about this feature.

Theft Apprehension and Asset Recovery Application (TARA) – This is a built-in Anti-theft technology which can remotely disable your handset to secure your data in case the phone gets stolen or lost. TARA is a proudly Pinoy App and exclusive to MyPhone users.

Battery Juice: You can have estimated 9-10 hours of normal usages (whether some sort of text messages / calls / music / 3G). For my opinion, this is best bet local Phablet out there with stunning display.

This huge beast can deliver smooth multimedia apps like watching movies and video streaming (YouTube – performance differs on internet connectivity). Games are one thing to consider, playing smoothly and lag free on games such as Minion Rush, Temple Run 2, Dead Trigger, and Zombie Wood.

Unfortunately, MyPhone Iceberg doesn’t come with Expandable MicroSD slot while others see it as bothersome; the device can run files/movies/music via USB OTG cable that came along in the package. Now you have a freedom to insert your USB Flash disk drive or USB External HDD.

TO SUM UP:
Running on Android OS 4.2.1 Jelly Bean with a Quad Core 1.2 GHz based MTK MT6589 chipset, 1GB RAM, GPU PowerVR SGX 544MP has everything you need on Multitasking and Multimedia.  Dual SIM network, with power battery pack 2,600 will get you throughout the day without spending another dime for battery packs or power bank. What’s greater is the 5.7” IPS LCD HD display gives you the space to work with, and top of that, the performance to deliver responsiveness with a budget Quad-core Phablet price that you can get in the local market.
