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.
UPDATE: You can read our full in-depth review of the Cherry Mobile Flare HERE.
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? Cherry Mobile Flare can get you to your favorite website in a few seconds through the help of 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity.

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.

HEHEHE.. LOCAL PHONE.. CHINA!, JUST LIKE MYPHONE, FIREFLY, CHERRY MOBILE. SAME 0+ THEY ARE ALL EQUAL…,LUMAKI N AKO SA MGA GADGETS NA IYAN.. AM I RIGHT?.. THEY ARE ALL CHINA LOCAL LAHAT NG PYESA LOCAL/CHINA.. KHIT ANONG INGAT MO MY MTTPAT SA IYO N MDLING MSIRA.. IBA PRIN ANG SAMSUNG, NOKIA, SONY ERICSSON, LG. S PRICE PLANG HALATA N… DI BA KAYO NAGTTAKA SA PRICE?. as usual kya nga mura eh..
Lumaki k na sa mga gadgets na yan? Why bother to grow up with this gadgets kung alam mo palang low quality? How would you know that these phones are low performing phone not unless you have one? I don’t see the logic why you would continously use or probably get such phone if it is low quality as you are claiming…
true
And did you know that other parts of your said, and well known phone brands comes from china?
yeah I agree. some phones are made from China and it doesn’t mean it has a low quality. rmmber china is in the 1st world country and one of the advance city when it comes to technology :)
Yes you’r right.. kaya lang naman naging expensive yang mga brand na ya kasi sinasabing “BRANDED DAW”?? ee kung sa kanila mo bibilhin mura lng nmn.. kaya ganito price dito kasi LOCAL nga .. di MAHAL sa SARILING lugar. xD pero kung tutuosin ka LEVEL lng ng local phones yang mga BRANDED na yan. .
feeling ka din noh. parang marunong ka din gumawa ng cellphone..
saka hindi ibig sabihin na galing ng china mabilis masira , bopols din toh ee , yung china phone ko nga na s2 mini copy , binaha na lahat-lahat working pa din ee, saka ang cellphone ngayon matagal na ang 1or2 years na gamitan kasi magpapalit ka din naman ng cp na mas upgraded pagtagal …. nonsense ka pre papansin ………
oo lumaki ka na sa gadget kasi social climber ka eh
kung di ka nga naman illiterate bout gadgets.. LOL.. tingin2 din sa specs paminsan-minsan dude.. dumaan ka na man kaya at lumaki sa mga ganyang gadgets.. bakit parang halos wala ka atang ka-alam alam?? samsung ba ka mo?? same sila ng brand ng processor ng FLARE, Snapdragon.. research2 din pag may time.. wag kang tanga! ^_^
Kung techie ka hindi ka titingin sa brand name. Sa specs at software ka magbe-base. hinay hinay kuya, kase napaghahalataan kang walang alam sa mga gadget. Sayo basta kilala ang brand kala mo matibay na at maganda. Baka nga di mo din alam kung pano malalaman pagkakaiba ng clone sa original.
tamatama
up up for this ads im using flare also. nice phones bagsak ang iphone. heheh
Can you just stop putting all Filipino products to a shame! FYI locally branded phones can also compete with well branded ones, because their cheaper, as durable as theirs, and they also have a great quality. Well branded phones are also from China like Samsung, etc. Cherry Mobile products like this phone, Flare is very durable, there are no/minimal reports through comments about their phone being broken. Kaya ikaw, bawiin mo ang sinabi mo. Palibhasa hindi ka pa nakakagamit nun. COLONIAL MENTALITY ata yan! PATRONIZE OUR FILIPINO PRODUCTS!
hahaha! ampotang comment yan! :D
alam mo bang madaming tao ang nagaantay na maging ANDROID ang OS ng mga phones na gawa dito or sa china. kasi mas mura at ok nmn ang quality. dati pa lang kahit di pa android ang OS nyan..gusto ko na xa. eh ngayon android na. san ka pa! affordable pa! kalevel na xa ng putragis mong ewan ko sau! haha
puta ka hindi mu pinagmamalaki ang gawang pinas edi umuwi ka sa pinapangarap mung bulok na bansa at dun ka mag malaki ng walng kwenta mung phone!!!!!!
anuka ngayon
ung iphone sa china din ginawa so madali plng masira ung iphone?
hahahha ikaw na ang myaman
