Cherry Mobile Flare S5

Cherry Mobile unveiled a new budget smartphone with fingerprint reader and Android 6.0 Marshmallow – Cherry Mobile Flare S5.

Cherry Mobile Flare S5 is being powered by an octa-core MediaTek processor, 3GB of RAM, and Mali-T720 GPU – just like the Flare 5. The main differences are the new USB-Type C standard, IPS screen, fingerprint sensor and design. It also has 100mAh less battery. Other than that, both devices have pretty identical specs to each other.

  1. nakabili ako ng cm noong nov.25 this year.after 4 days nagtaka ako kahit diko gingamit ang cp dahil matulog na kami kina umagahan 5% nalang ang battery naka off naman syan hay nako. kakabili lang kulang bakit ganon ka cm.

    1. flare s5 pala ang ibig kong sabihin.diko sya ginamit magdamag dahil natulog na kami lowbat sya gusto ko syang ibalik.kahit fully charge sya at diko ginamit naubos parin ang battery nya kinaumagahan

  2. Ganon rin nangyari sa akin, wala pang isang buwan nasira na ang screen led sobrang brightness nya masakit sa mata. Sobrang init rin pag gagamitin ang lte. Napalitan ko naman ng led via warranty kaso ilang buwan lang nakalipas nagsisimula na naman yung brightness nya. Ngayon na tapos na ang warranty… pinalitan ko nlang ang ibang configuration ng miracast para mabawasan ang sakit sa mata. Problema ko nlng ngayon ay ang automatic installation ng mga programs gaya ng apus, wallpaper app, atbp. Wala namang update galing sa CM… yung mga bagong labas lang ang may V09 versions ng roms. Balita ko rin lahat ng androids nairelease last year and before that ay may virus… dahil sa old version ng youtube na syang dahilan ng kusang paglalagay ng mga apps na kahit anong pilit mong inaalis ay kusang bumabalik… parang meant to be lang. Sulit ang phone base sa specs nya.. pero yung mga issues na nararanasan ko ngayon… mas masaya pa ako sa sony xperia m4 aqua ko kahit sobrang limited ng 8gb rom… pero sobrang stable naman ang sobrang bilis ng internet… by the way, hard bricked na yung flare s5 ko ngayon… sinubukan ko yung sundin yung ibang post kung papaano iupgrade ang firmware o rom ng flare s5… Di kasi available via OTA.

    Magdadalawang isip na akong bibili ng CM products ngayon :( will better spend more for better experience and less hassle.

  3. Nice specs for its price range, but I have to warn the others that the quality/durability/stability of this model’s LCD is poor. Bought 4 units for my team’s use, 3/4 got busted LCD in less than 3 months. The very first unit with problem occur in just less than 1 month of use. It gets very hot in the upper part when you use data (LTE), and I think this is the cause of the LCD problem. Other problem is the bloatwares and it auto installs applications that causes unlimited ADs which causes to install other Apps.

    PROs:

    Specifications, LTE performance, Games, speed, Price, removable battery

    CONs:
    LCD, Bloatwares/AD-wares, easily gets hot when using DATA

    By the way, anyone who knows the original model of this device (CM Flare S5), I believed this is a debranded unit. I would like to search and install for plain android with GApps, the Ads and auto install apps is very much annoying.

    Thanks and Nice Post :)

    1. Thanks for sharing, Rodel! That’s very unfortunate. Were you able to get them fixed or replaced?
