It's interesting to look back at this review of the CD-R King Yukon Android Fastphone from a decade ago. It's amazing to see how far technology has advanced since then, with more affordable Android phones now offering much better specifications.

The CD-R King Yukon Android Fastphone was priced at Php1,880 and came with a 1 week replacement and 1-year warranty period. It featured a dual SIM/dual standby capability, a 4-inch HVGA display, 256MB of RAM, 512MB of internal storage, and dual cameras (VGA rear + VGA front). The phone ran on Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread), which was already outdated in 2013.

Looking at the specifications now, it's clear that the CD-R King Yukon Android Fastphone had limited capabilities. The 256MB of RAM, in particular, would not be sufficient for running today's games and apps smoothly. Additionally, it lacked 3G/HSPA connectivity, which would have limited its internet browsing capabilities.

However, it's important to consider that the CD-R King Yukon Android Fastphone was a budget phone, and it's understandable that it had limitations given its price point. The phone was targeted towards users who needed basic smartphone functionality but couldn't afford more expensive options.

It would be interesting to hear from anyone who owned the CD-R King Yukon Android Fastphone at the time. Their experiences and opinions would provide valuable insights into the phone's performance and usability. Overall, while the CD-R King Yukon Android Fastphone may not have been a high-end device, it likely served its purpose for those who purchased it during that time.

ako nga rin eh noong bata ako akala ko lang na cd at dvd lang binebenta nila pati na rin mga mp3, mp4 pati dvd player meron na rin sila.

natalo kasi dahil sa mga naglalakihang e commerce platform tulad ng lazada. tapos makaluma at mabagal pa ang kanilang sales process. wala man silang POS at manually deresibo sinusulat pa details doon. Natuluyan nang namatay si CDR king dahil sa pandemic at hindi na babalik ulit dahil yun nga kay lazada at shoppee.
