It looks like we have a clear winner here. Although they were a tie in some areas, the Cherry Mobile Flare S6 definitely beat the Cloudfone Thrill Snap on the majority of them.
For starters, the Flare S6 runs on a newer chipset with twice as much RAM as the Thrill Snap. The former also has a better selfie camera and a slightly bigger battery.
The Flare S6 also comes with a fingerprint scanner and 4G LTE connectivity — security and connectivity components that should already be a standard inclusion in any smartphone today.
Both the Flare S6 and the Thrill Snap are available nationwide for an affordable price of Php3,999. If you want to know more about the Flare S6, you can check out our full review.
