Display
The A848g Duo has a pretty good display for it's price with its 480x800 pixels WVGA Capacitive display screen, the screen display quality excellent for the price.
I personally like icons provided by MyPhone in the phone, they are an eye candy.
Speed
With the Dual Core 1 GHz Processor the A848g Duo is quite fast for a budget phone. There is not much lag when using it. With the Android Jellybean 4.1.1 installed its really that fast as the Jellybean is made to make use of the optimization of the hardware. The screen is quite responsive too
Battery
In using the A848g Duo, with the battery of 1600 mAh would last for a day or two depending on what you will use. In a moderate wifi & texting usage it could last one day or more and in heavy usage it could only last for one day or less depending on which apps or phone feature you will use (e.g. Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi).
Camera
The rear camera is 5.0 megapixel while the front camera is a VGA type. The shots are quite good but not what you can expect from high end smart phones.

The phone comes with the installed Android Jellybean 4.1.1 with the User Interface by MyPhone. It is one of the fastest and has many feature in the Andoid OSes.
Built in apps:
MyPhone includes different useful apps in their phones.
TARA app
One of those is the very potential useful TARA app that is really featured by MyPhone. It is an anti-theft app support that is run by MyPhone.
Post by Xavier Alpasa.
The story goes like these: the phone owner accidentally dropped his mobile phone after a Capiz Yolanda trip and the unit was sold by the driver to someone who inserted a new sim, after such he was prompted via TARA app! the good thing is the buyer of the new owner has settled with the original owner otherwise the phone would alarm with the word "Magnanakaw!"
This is a very good and an innovative app and has a big potential to grow and have many users, TARA app in unreformatable as it is embedded in the phone itself.
