We put the two quad-core offerings of MyPhone and Cherry Mobile side by side!
Since we’ve now reviewed both the MyPhone Rio and the Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum, two devices that are vying for the under 5K quad-core crown, we decided it would be nice to put the two devices side by side to see the differences in design, benchmarks and camera performance, sort of like a quick guide so you can decide for yourself which device you want to buy.

MyPhone Rio
Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum
The two similar photos were taken inside our lightbox with just ambient lighting with the main lights off. Both photos were taken with similar lighting conditions.
That’s it. Hopefully after you’ve seen the two devices side by side and read our review you’ve figured out which one out of the two devices you want to buy. To summarize our two reviews, we found that the Rio performed better than the Omega Spectrum because of its better processor, though the Omega Spectrum has the Rio beat when it comes to glass protection and battery life. As far as design is concerned, it’s mainly subjective and depends on your preference, although we did notice that the Rio’s plastic casing (on our first version) has suffered immensely from paint chipping, while the Omega Spectrum (which has been in our possession since April 22) has not had any kind of damage on its exterior.
