Along with the Alpha Neon, the Cherry Mobile Alpha View has been announced at the Mobile World Congress. It’s one of the company’s next-generation devices that tout the Windows Phone platform.

It features a 6-inch display with in-plane switching (IPS) technology and high-def screen resolution. Running under the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, along with Adreno 302 graphics and 1GB of RAM.

Except for the larger screen, larger battery capacity (2600mAh) and exterior design, the Cherry Mobile Alpha View has the same specs as its smaller brother, the Alpha Neon. Both devices offer 8GB of internal storage, with external expansion available via microSD for up to 64GB. It accepts two dual SIM cards—one micro and the other standard-sized. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0 and 3G HSPA+ connectivity.
The Cherry Mobile Alpha View will be available in black and white flavors. Since it has slightly better specs, the Alpha View will cost less than 100 euros (approx. Php4,290) but most likely more expensive than its smaller sibling.
