I'm still waiting for the official numbers but according to TechPinas' trusted source inside the company, MyPhone is selling close to 100 units of this model per hour in some key outlets! That's tremendous market performance for a local smartphone release.

So what's the key to the success of MyPhone my28? Two things.

First, the device is plain ultra-affordable. Can you imagine: For only Php 888, you already get an Android 5.1 Lollipop smartphone with a 4-inch WVGA display, 5 MegaPixel main camera, 2 MP front cam, 1.2 GHz Quad Core ARM Cortex A7 and Mali 400 based Spreadtrum SC7731 chipset, 512 MB of RAM, and 8GB of expandable storage! Again, all that for just 888 Pesos! If you can't call this a 'great value for money Android phone', I seriously don't know what else to tag it.

Second, it's the generous freebies from Smart Prepaid that are included in the bundle. Quoting what I shared a few days ago, every MyPhone my28 Prepaid Bundle from Smart comes with a free Smart SIM card that lets you enjoy 100 MB of free mobile data per month with every Php 10 top up, 7 days of FREE Facebook, Twitter, and Viber access, as well as a rebate of Php 30 every time you load up a mininum of Php 100! That's a lot!

Earlier today, I congratulated my good friend Mr. Kevin Tan - Vice President of MyPhone - for the success of my28 via Viber. He replied (and I'm quoting verbatim), "Hey Mark! Smart Ambassador ka rin, right? We are very happy and thankful that we got to forge such a powerful partnership with Smart! Laban na!"

I couldn't be happier for our friends at MyPhone - including Mr. John Chica and Patrick Cabusay. The people behind this loved Pinoy brand are some of the most hardworking and dedicated individuals I know. They deserve this early 2016 success, no doubt.
