- microSD card expandability rate is a bit lower than of the DTC Gear’s 32GB expandability limit
- Has better battery capacity than the DTC Gear’s 4500mAh battery
- Is relatively more affordable in pricing, though pricing of the DTC Gear might have been lowered throughout its stay in the market
- Has the advantageous position of being new in the market
- Carried by a well – known local brand
- Provides more features than the DTC Gear
- Water proof features, which was not present in the DTC Gear’s list of specs
All in all, it seems that the MyPhone MY112 has a lot more in- store than the DTC Gear, since the latter was about a year old already. It could be safely said, that the improvements on the MY112 came from tackling a few deficiencies experienced with earlier disaster based devices, which hopefully, MyPhone was completely removed. As for the DTC Gear, it is still one of the most sturdy disaster devices in the market, though, with the more affordable take and a more improved device features, we can honestly say, that the MyPhone MY112 is a more worthy buy, overall than the DTC Gear.
