What is the difference between the MyPhone A878 Duo and the MyPhone A898 Duo?
Both phones have the same specs and looks (actually you cannot distinguish which phone is the A878 or A898 and the only way to distinguish them is the VGA front facing camera of the A898, A878 by the way has none), but the MyPhone A898 Duo comes with 1GHz dual-core MediaTek MT6577 processor, which supports 3G connectivity and a VGA front-facing camera. While the MyPhone A878 Duo doesn't have 3G connectivity and a VGA front-facing camera.
