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. For a full list of CM Flare specifications, check it out below.

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. Ofcourse the Cherry Mobile Flare
      The Cherry Mobile Flare’s processor is clocked at 1.2 GHz while Burst is at 1 Ghz
      1600 mAh for Cherry Mobile Flare while Cherry Mobile Burst is only 1500 mAh
      However, these phones are almost identical. And some resellers tag the Cherry Mobile Flare higher than Php 3,999. So the Cherry Mobile Burst is a good alternative. And Flare is almost always out of stock. :)
      Hope this helped you out in choosing your phone.
