Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2 Unveiled: Their first Octa-Core smartphone

Cherry Mobile unveiled 2 new phones including the Cherry Mobile Titan Pro which was recently previewed at their Facebook Page. Along with the Cherry Mobile Titan Pro was the Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2, their next flagship phone. Cherry Mobile also announced new accessories for their Titan 2.0 series. Check it out after the break.

Cherry Mobile Titan 2.0 will now have 2 new battery pack which will give you more power and juices that’ll last all day.

We also had a chance to get a hands-on of the Cherry Mobile Titan Pro and we were able to see its features like the one hand easy which will let you use the smartphone in one hand by just tilting it and the screen will adjust for you. The Cherry Mobile Titan Pro also have Assistive touch and Gesture Shortcuts which are very useful features. There’s G pen alarm that’ll alarm you if your G Pen is missing and Suspension Preview which will give you previews of pictures in gallery and messages in the messaging app. The SRP of the Cherry Mobile Titan Pro is PHP10,999.

But the main attraction during the event was the Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2 which is powered by the latest Octa-Core processor made my MediaTek. It was the first time that I’ve tried an octa-core phone. The phone was very solid and it was thin. Aside from the Octa-Core processor, the Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2 would pack a 2 GB RAM, a 5.0” FHD IPS OGS display and there’s an 18 MP BSI camera with 8 Megapixel front camera.

I’ve tried the predecessor, Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z and I noticed that the first Cosmos Z wasn’t that buttery smooth compared to the Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2. Maybe because, the Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2 now packs a Mali GPU which was better than the PowerVR counterparts and 2 GB of RAM. I believe the Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2 could now run most games smoothly even at FHD resolution

One of the disappointments on this device was the small battery however, we can’t really say how it will perform because we haven’t tested the unit yet. Sometimes, even when the phone has a low battery rating, it performs really well. The Cherry Mobile Z2 is now available for P12,999, just the right price for a local flagship for the Filipino consumers.
