It has a larger main camera resolution, slightly larger battery, and updated Android version – Marshmallow. Another big advantage the my85 DTV has, as the name suggests, is the DTV feature. This function is extremely handy especially if you’re the type who doesn’t want to miss out on your favorite TV show.
