If you think Myphone Rio is a bit pricey, then you might want to consider its lighter version, which is the Rio Lite.
MyPhone has introduced on their social media site the arrival of Rio Lite, the little brother of their highly popular 5-inch quad-core phone Rio. Both phones are powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor and Android 4.2 Jellybean. However, there is a huge difference in specifications between the two siblings but a minimal difference in the price.
Rio Lite sports a smaller display of 4.7 inches, and lower specs camera at 5MP main and 2MP front facing. The RAM size was cut into half at 512MB compared to Rio’s 1GB.
The design of the Rio Lite is minimalist. You can find on the top portion of the phone the 3.5mm audio jack as well as the micro USB port for charging the device. On the right side is where you will find the volume and power buttons. At the lower glass front of the device is where you will see the Home, Back, and Recent Apps Buttons.

In my opinion, the Rio Lite is very affordable. However, if I have 3999 pesos on hand. I would think twice about getting this phone because its bigger brother (which has better tech specs) only cost 1K pesos higher at 4999 pesos.

I would rather wait for a few days to a month to figure out ways to produce that additional 1000 pesos so I can get Rio.
