Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum VS MyPhone Agua Rio

Local brands Cherry Mobile and MyPhone have already released their aggressively priced Android smartphones – the Omega Spectrum and the Agua Rio. Both are priced at Php4,999 with almost the same specs. Let’s compare both phones and find out which one is better on paper.

spectrum vs rio

omega spectrum vs agua rio

Based on the specs listed above, there’s not much difference when it comes to hardware aside from having different chipsets and external designs. The Rio has the advantage of having a slightly higher CPU clock speed and more color options. The Spectrum, on the other hand, packs Dragontrail glass and support for Miracast. It’s a close fight.

At this point, it’s too early to conclude which phone is the best as we’re yet to get our hands on these devices and see how they perform in the real world.

Some of our readers who have bought the Rio pointed out experiencing lags due to some software issues. The Spectrum was just released today but if you have already bought it, feel free to share your experiences below.

    my hardware problem ang My phone Rio hinde compatible ang MT6582M sa screen display na 1280 x 720.

    MY phone rio must change the processor with newer version MT6582 with 720 display support.

    panget myphone karamihan sa mga phones nila naghahang. tska medyo mahina ung touch screen. So I go for CM Omega Spectrum :)

    MT6582M support only qHD 960 X 540 screen display not 1280 x 720 ..yan ciguro ang cause nang screen lag .

    While Broadcom BCM 23550 1.2GHZ is little bit slower than MT6582 , its support up to 1080P display.
    CM Spectrum with Dragon trail trail glass ,GPS+GLONASS with Miracast ready .

    mas stable ang CM Broadcom BCM23550 with a support up to 1080P screen display

    MyPhone already has an OTA update to install Apps sa SD card.
    at least naging ok sila sa pakinig ng mga feedback from consumers and bloggers like yugatech.

    Just bought the omega spectrum. .so far so good. Interface is better y
    Than Rio mp.responsive naman ang touchscreen. .super nice bright screen. .and you can feel sa touch yung Dragon trail quality ng smartphone. It’s got the feel of the s4. design is great. .slim edges. .matte smooth back case. Very elegant looking. Icons are not big too.

    I had y hands on the 2:
    I like the style and colors of rio however, it is bulky-mataba sya. plastic na plastic ang case and i think mga 1-2 months use, marami nang gasgas. Kung magbebenta siguro sila ng case to replace the old one or to choose another color, then this is the best phone in the market. although hindi masyadong fluid and snappy ang response ng screen…but the camera is superb, malinaw talaga…and mabilis ang internet.

    Omega Spectrum has the style of samsung galaxy S3 including its thickness but with matte plastic rear cover and chrome accents. So, hindi sya bulky at dumihin and hindi halata pag nagkaroon ng scratch. hindi rin masyadong fluid ang response nya especially sa task manager and browser, pero ang home and application screen very snappy. And what I like here is the miracast support and malinaw din ang camera. Hindi ko nakita yung Rio kung may panoramic mode but spectrum does have this feature.

    Verdict:
    Sa software performance…I vote for CM Spectrum
    Sa style…MP Agua Rio
    Sa external condition ng phone in the long run…CM Spectrum

    What I bought? CM Spectrum, kasi ayoko ng gasgasin and dumihin like Agua rio. For those who love colors and can sacrifice the bulk and cover scratches, then MP Rio the the phone for you

    Rio padin panalo dito sa performance and camera, glonass, dragontrail and miracast ang ok sa spectrum

  15. Avatar for abuzalzal abuzalzal says:

    Stress test dapat yan sa mga gpu intensive benchmarks at malamang gagapang ang Cherry Mobile

    Did some research , Yung Broadcom SoC (854 ×480 pixel resolution) umaabot lang ng 13.5k sa AnTuTu….So kung 720p yan malamang 10k below na, not so good

    Mukhang panalo Rio dito although kelangan mo pa ring i-tweak para magkaroon ng SD install

    • Avatar for abuzalzal_BOBO abuzalzal_BOBO says:

      BoBO ka ba? mas maganda parin ung gpu ng cm ome spec, kesa sa mp rio, compare mo kya ung Videocore IV sa Mali400MP2 , tanga tanga kaba? o wla ka lng isip? bobo mo laggers nga ung MP rio e haha.. tang ina mo

    i think mp rio has better cam, better pic quality even they have the same cam resolution !

    I’ll go for rio. dragontrail glass at the end of the day is still glass mababasag padin di mo naman siguro gagawing pang tanching ang phone mo for sure iingatan mo padin. So far mas maganda ang reputation ng myphone pagdating sa phone quality pareho namang kuripot sa update ang cpu nila so malamang pareho din silang di na uusad at hangang sa jellybean nalang. yung grainy na light background problem yun sa matataas na resolution taz yung I ba background mo maliit ang resolution pilubi talaga ang quality. For miracast.. uhmm who really use it?.. just saying. .

    @all

    just a question..

    currently e naka N4 ako. and I’m planning to buy the Rio for my GF..

    tama ba na ayon ung piliin ko among locally released smartphones at 5k range? or meron pa bang mas better option aside from MP Rio?

    ask q lang po sana if this rio can be used overseas?? thanx!

    Pam-bobong tanong lang:
    Lahat ba ng pwedeng ma-root ay pwedeng lagyan ng kitkat? So pwedeng lagyan ng kitkat ang rio?

    • Avatar for Hero Reyes Hero Reyes says:

      kailangan ng source code mula sa cpu manufacturers para makadevelop ng kitkat rom sa isang phone. if magkakarun man ng kitkat rom na hindi nangangailangan ng source code malamang may malfunction sya sa ibaibang part ng phone ex wifi,data,gps, camera…to answer your question.. No di lahat ng rootable mauupdate sa kitkat.. ex galaxy y super active ang developer nun pero hangang gingerbread lang Broadcom din ang cpu nun. Just dont expect too much na mauupdate sila para di ka madismaya anyway konting konti lang ang phone nila na nag jump ng ibang version..
