Cherry Mobile had another ground breaking launch in their recently concluded Cherry Mobile Flare Up event. The Cherry Mobile Flare carries fantastic specifications and features even though it has a tremendously cheap price tag.  We had the chance to play with the device in their launch and we can safely say that Cherry Mobile Flare is a very potent android phone that may take away some market share from the big brands.

If you’ll remember, we recently featured their 1GHz single core processor devices called Cherry Mobile W100 and Cherry Mobile TV. It seems like Cherry Mobile doesn’t want to waste their time as they introduces this cheap yet powerful device.

Features

The Cherry Mobile Flare is powered by a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor together with a sufficient 512MB of RAM for seamless navigation and play time. It has a 4-inch IPS screen display with 480×800 resolution which means that it can easily render beautiful colors and wide range of viewing angles.

Apart from those powerful hardware, the Cherry Mobile Flare also sports Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich straight out of the box so users will enjoy the ICS goodness without needing to shell out a huge sum of cash. In terms of multimedia capabilities, the CM Flare has a 5-megapixel shooter and a VGA front-facing camera.

It also features the usual Dual-sim and Dual-standby feature of local brands so people on the go will always be connected on two networks without needing two phones. Do you love web surfing and social networking?

Interested in getting the Flare? Well, you have to wait a couple of weeks more because we were informed by Cherry Mobile that it will not be available until mid-November. The official price of Cherry Mobile Flare is only Php3,999. We’re hoping to get a review unit so we can take it for an in-depth review but we’ll just have to wait until then. Are you interested in buying one?

      1. It has 4gb internal memory but only 2gb of which you could use. Still, not bad for a PhP 4thou worth smart phone, along with all its very impressive features.
