And just like what I’ve predicted after the announcement of the Cherry Mobile Flare, there will be a phone that’ll be coming to a local brand which will be very affordable. And yes, the P4,000 Quad-Core tablet, Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt came in and then there’s the Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0 which was just announced this week. Too bad I was not able to attend the launch. I never thought that there would be a Quad-Core phone at this early 2013. The phone got a freakin Quad-Core Snapdragon Processor! Oh and calm down your horses because this is not the same Quad-Core Processor that can be found on the Asus Padfone 2 and the Sony Xperia Z. But hey, come on guys. This is a freakin Quad-Core Phone with a P7,000 price tag. Want to know more about the tablet? Check it out after the break.
So what does this baby got for us? Well, the Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0’s Snapdragon Quad-Core doesn’t have the same performance as the other Snapdragon S4 processor. The Quad-Core processor inside the Cherry Mobile Flare is a Qualcomm MSM 8225Q 1.2 GHz processor. I’m not sure how it performs but I hope that it can perform better than the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt’s Quad-Core processor.
The phone doesn’t have a HD display but the screen is already decent at 4.5” qHD display. It has a 5 megapixel rear camera and a VGA front facing camera which you can use for your Skype. The smartphone has a 4 GB internal storage and a microSD card slot that can support up to 32 GB. Of course, there’s the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Powered by a 1.2 GHz MSM8225Q processor and 1 GB of RAM, I think this smartphone could have a blazing speed. I’m just quite skeptical about its battery since the battery is just rated at 1600mAh. Oh and before I forgot, the phone is powered by Jelly Bean.
