MyPhone A919 Duo: Latest dual-core Android smartphone from MyPhone (Price, Specs, Review)

Written By Marvs on Sunday, November 25, 2012 | 71 comments so far

Pinoy phone maker MyPhone continues to dish out very good products particularly in their Android smartphone lineup. The latest would be the MyPhone A919 Duo which is also their top model to date. It features a dual-core MT6577 processor from MediaTek and boasts a whopping 5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen (same with Cherry Mobile Titan) at 16M colors with resolution of 480 x 854 pixels (196 ppi pixel density).

The MyPhone A919 Duo has an 8MP autofocus rear camera with dual LED flash that can record 720p HD or a 3264 x 2448 pixels image; video call is made possible by its VGA front camera. It runs on Android 4.0 ICS and is powered by a Li-Ion 2,000 mAh battery.

It looks like the MyPhone A919 Duo came from the same OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) as with the Micromax A110 Canvas 2 from Indian telecommunications company Micromax. It has an introductory price of Php7,990 which is still very affordable considering its features.

Is this upgradable to jellybean?

December 2, 2012 at 6:37 PM

Although the RAM of this phone is only 512MB, it may still be possible to upgrade the MyPhone A919 to Jelly Bean, you can check the xda-developers forum and search for the Micromax A110 for steps on how to do it.

December 12, 2012 at 4:03 PM

i noticed yung back cover ng unit sa picture sa taas ng page ay iba sa working sample unit sa myphone stores. doon sa store kasi smooth yung texture tapos may mapa ng Pilipinas but yung picture sa taas textured tapos wala yung mapa ng Pilipinas. May I know if yung textured back cover ang nasa unit pag binili mo o kagaya nung nakita ko sa myphone store...thanks...

December 12, 2012 at 4:29 PM

Yung makinis na may map ang talagang back cover ng MyPhone A919.

The picture above with the textured back cover is the Micromax A110 Canvas 2 na kaparehong unit lang ng MyPhone A919, syempre customized na for MyPhone yung back cover with the Philippine map.

how to root this phone?? pwede pakituro. tsaka di ko din makita kung pano sya iupgrade to jelly bean

December 16, 2012 at 6:05 PM

I could probably write an article about rooting the MyPhone A919.

December 22, 2012 at 4:56 PM

hi i am a micrimax a110 user. your a919 is just a rebranded phone of micromax a110(google a110 and you wil see ;) ). can you please provide us the system image rom of you a919 so as we kick the development on our phone.

December 23, 2012 at 7:29 AM

It's not a rebrand, Micromax A110 and MyPhone A919 just happens to have the same OEM which is common these days on most electronic devices to bring down costs.

who was the manufacturer of this phone then...?

January 2, 2013 at 8:07 PM

@Anonymous Simply put it: "An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by another company and retailed under that purchasing company's brand name. OEM refers to the company that originally manufactured the product."

January 14, 2013 at 2:10 AM

I wrote a blog post for this phone. it is so wonderful to use! even with the offer to upgrade to the iphone 5, im not thinking twice about letting it go. it is fast, efficient and versatile! i think every Pinoy should have one.

January 15, 2013 at 9:52 AM

January 15, 2013 at 11:17 AM

@Albert Sun Ceniza No need to root the phone kung mag-install lang ng games. Available ang Wildblood sa Google Play

January 15, 2013 at 2:21 PM

@Anonymous Enable TV out on your phone and connect it to your TV using 3.5ST to RCA cable. To see reference picture >

Yung mga apps/games pwede bang sa mem.card siya i-store/save? Thanks in advance. I'm planning to buy this phone, and I want to know if it's really worth it. :))

HI Marvs...what is the problem of my cp MYPHONE A919 duo..its always wifi internet disconnected siya..I'm using SMART intenet sim card...please help naman....thanx in advance...

February 22, 2013 at 10:20 AM

@commentsNot clear if you're trying to connect via WIFI or Data.

But I presume you wanted to connect using Data services since you're using Smart SIM, make sure set Data connection on your phone.

Just a few questions Sir :)

I'm very tempted to buy this model. My only reservation lies in the uncertainty na baka hanggang ICS na lang sya and it will not get a JB update.

Do Myphone models also receive official OS updates with the likes of big name brands like Samsung, LG etc?

And if not, are these models supported by custom ROM makers like Cyanogenmod or XDA?

Can we use Micromax ROM with A919?
Thanks :)

@AnonymousSoftware updates really depends on the manufacturer. You can use Micromax A110 Canvas 2 ROM with MyPhone A919 since they are the same model.

@AnonymousThe A919 could be mistaken as S3 at first glance specially if it has a jelly case since they're almost the same size.

Sir, how do you buy apps on google play wihtout a credit card?

March 15, 2013 at 9:50 AM

A919 lasts bat life lasts around 2-4 hours of continuous gaming, maybe the same for web browsing since laging on ung screen.

Don't have info yet on how to upgrade A919 to Jelly Bean, di na po pwedeng upgrade RAM at di rin pwedeng magkaroon ng tv feature.

Google Play only accepts credit card as mode of payment. Pero madami namang free apps available so di na kelangan magbayad.

@AnonymousCheck your mobile network settings, place your SIM card in the SIM1 slot of the phone. You may also have to consult the tech support of the provider.

May 3, 2013 at 11:41 PM

@vince rafael gamutinI recommend a firmware update, if you don't know how to do it, let the service center techs do it for you.
