Cherry Mobile finally unveiled their new quad-core powered android phone, the Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0. The rumors proved to be true and it turned out to be somehow disappointing for some as it has less competitive specs than the A919i Duo.
It’s been teased over the past few weeks and today Cherry Mobile finally confirmed it. The leaked specs were also true and accurate.
Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0 will sport the same processor used in the Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0 which is the 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Cortex A5 processor, 1GB of RAM, and Adreno 203 GPU. As you can see, when compared to the MyPhone A919i Duo, it’s nothing compared to that beast but the lower price tag of this smartphone can’t be ignored.
Priced at only Php7,999, the Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0 brings a lot of value for money including its large 5-inch qHD scratch resistant display and a standard 4GB of internal memory which is expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. Other features are the 8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, and connectivity options such as WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, and GPS.
Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0 Specs
- Android Jelly Bean 4.1
- 5.0-inches qHD (960×540) Scratch Resistant Capacitive Display, ~220 ppi

Another interesting point is that the Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0 is priced equally with the Cherry Mobile Omega HD. The latter has a 5.0-inch HD (1280×720) Dragon Trail Glass Display, 12-megapixel BSI camera, and a slightly bigger 2100mAh battery. The only culprit on Omega HD is the lackluster MT6577 Dual-core 1GHz processor which tends to slow down a bit due to the high resolution of the device. But as always, each smartphone has their own pros and cons so you have to make a choice which one suits you better.
The official SRP of Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0 is Php7,999 and it’s expected to go on sale starting next week. Hopefully, CM won’t have a hard time rolling this thing out just like their other android devices which often faced supply shortage.
Now that Cherry Mobile’s quad-core Ace is here, people can now have their choice. What do you guys think? Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0 or the MyPhone A919i Duo? Shout it out in the comments section below!
bakit sa SM batangas walang available na android phones?
Qhd lang tapos lowend pa ung Adreno 203.. fail rush nanaman.
Maninira na lang sablay pa hahaha galingan mo pag imbento ng kwento next time 1 day daw sira agad eh bat di mo papalitan?
pinakamurang chipset ginamit same with CM Flare MSM8225Q witch means 4 cores na Cortex A5 procesors at Adreno 203
na bulok na at outdated
A919i!!! :) gonna buy it(A919i) on June 1, 2013. Can’t w8. :)
ganda nito. pero hindi na ako bibili ng cm kasi nung bumili ako ng flare e. pagkatapos lang gamitin ng isang araw nung pagkabili biglang ayaw mapindot ng phone so pumunta kami ng friend ko sa service center nila tapos mga limang oras kami nandun and then tinawag na kami sabi nila bumalik na lang daw kami ng isang buwan. then sabi ko “ano po ba ang sira” sabi nila hindi pa daw nila alam sasabihin na lang daw nila pag kinuha ko na. Hanggang ngayon nandun parin kasi last april ko lang binili. kaya hindi ko na tatangkilikin ang cm pangit kasi ng aftersales nila. Mas maganda pa ang starmobile at myphone sa kanila. although, mas matataas ang mga presyo ng mga phone nila compared to cm, pero sulit naman ang binayad mo kasi ang ganda ng aftersales at mga phone nila. Ngayon ang gamit kong phone ay isang phone ng SM at MP. so ang masasabi ko lang sa mga bibili ng cm. GoodLuck na lang sanyu. :D [ShareLangPo]
bakit sa service center ka agad pumunta, pwede naman yan palitan sa store na binili mo kasi 1 day lang kamo lumipas…i think kalokohan lang tong pinagsasabi mo.hahaha!
kung hindi man naisip ni johnmichael na ipa-replace na lang, sana man lang sinuggest nung mga taga service center diba? imho, grabe talaga aftersales ng cherry. pero so far okay naman ung flare nabili ko hehe >:D
Nilalagay yata nila sa resibo yon na pwedeng palitan yung unit w/in 7 days or kung hindi man nilagay sa resibo sasabihin na yon direkta sayo. Hindi siguro pnresent ni johnmichael yung resibo sa service center para nadetermine nila na bagong bili yon :)
isang araw lang ba kamo? diba may 7 days replacement warranty? LOL. Nakakatawa naman itong issue na to. Yung sa akin maganda naman experience ko sa cm.
Di ba dapat replacement muna kadi ala pang 7 days? Bat pina repair mo na agad katawa ka naman…
cm flare ko nga astig dika lang marunong mag pahalaga ng cp
Di naman po lahat ng CM phones ganun. Hindi mo lang din siguro ginamit agad yung mind mo at nag criticize ka kagad. Or baka naman gamit na unit yung naibigay sayo. Pwede mo naman papalitan yun at dapat hindi mo sa service center dinala dahil iisipin nila matagal na yun sayo. Dapat dun sa stall na pinagbilhan mo. I have this skyfire 2.0 right now and it’s working so damn good. And before you buy check the reviews and check the phone that they will give you in the store as well. CM is a good buy, I tell you. :)
dami nagtatangol sa cherry ahhhh hahaha nabibisto na ba ang black propaganda niyo na may inhouse blogger pa kayo para siraan ang iba at ipromote ang produkto niyo? magaling kayo manloko ng tao mas marami nga kayong reklamo kesa sa satisfied customer!
trolls will be trolls
Totoo po yon. Maaring maganda nga po unit nila pero may bad experience rin po ako sa after sales ng CM. Nakabili po ako ng cellphone dati pa. Wala pa po sila android phone noon. Ang nabili ko po ay yung bagong labas ng pinakamanipis na modelo ng cp nila. Nasira po mga 5 araw ko palang nagagamit. Pabalik-balik lang po ako sa service center nila sa my Roxas blvd.2 – 3 buwan. Yun pong mga nakakasabay ko na nagpapaayos din ay may mga nagagalit at nagmumura na po kasi abala na raw at sa kanilang work at pabalik-balik rin sila. Hindi na rin po naibalik sa dati yung unit ko nagha-hang. Kaya sa inis ko po nung huling makuha ko, pinamigay ko na lang kahit mahal pa ang pagkabili ko kasi sa probinsya pa ako umuuwi.
A919i is the best. Because it comes with accesories after it launched and cherry mobile does not have after launching, you still wait the accessories a month. And myphone has excellent service aftersales cherry mobile does not have, you have still wait 4 hours at service center of CM and after the 4 hours they will say to you that you have wait it a month before they give it to you. So for me i’ll go for myphone even if their pricing is much higher than cm phones. MyPhone is the Best local brand here in the Philippines :)
Waaaaahhh! Natatawa ako. hihihi…
Obviously, you don’t know what you’re saying. Try reading “What’s in the box” portion of the reviews of each phone. I’m not a fan of either brand but things you said about accessories is one big lie. One more thing, polish your English. Hehehe…
MyCM manira ka lang bistado na kayo! antayin niyo karma niyo mga bulok kayo!
Matanong ko lng.. Saan kaya ako pwedeng bumili ng mga phone na O+ saka ng cherry mobile here in canada? Is there any online retailer?
if wala sa local mall or electronics and gadgets department store try mo online shopping sites kuya like amazon or ebay
4GB .. kulang :D
a919i pa din
pangit kaya yung feautures ng star mobile tska myphone, wlng kwenta di ako na excite sa entertainment ng phone na yan..tska parang maraming kulang, wla bang improvement, mabuti pa yung cherry mobile khit mura matibay din tska maganda gamitin, sa tao lng yung nka depende, kxi careless kayo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
matibay? magpunta ka service center nila at bilangin lahat ng nagrereklamo sabihin mo ulit dito kung matibay sila.Wag mo linlangin ang tao kitang kita naman sa ebidensiya o punta ka sa online support nila bilangin mo gaano kabibigat ang rklamo ng mga tao
