Cherry Mobile's Game Changer

Cherry Mobile recently announced this September 20 2013 their new handsets. Its the "Dual Core ng Bayan" upgraded to "Quad Core ng Bayan" which is a good value for its price. For only Php 3999, you can now have a quad core smartphone with decent specs. This phone has mostly the same features with the first gen of flare which helped Cherry Mobile gain reputation. This has 1.2ghz qualcomm quad-core processor together with 512 ram and Adreno 203 gpu. The ram is not upgraded with the same 512mb. But if you are looking for a great entry level with great feautres smartphone, you could go for Flare 2.0



And also, their #gamechanger event is not yet over with only flare 2.0, they also have Flare 2x, Burst 2.0, and Cherry Mobile APOLLO. Unfortunately, we have no info yet on burst 2.0, but we have a little info about Flare 2x and APOLLO.

Flare 2.0 Specs:
  • 4″ WVGA IPS display (480 x 800 resolution, 233ppi)
  • 1.2GHz quad core Qualcomm MSM8225Q processor
  • Adreno 203 GPU
  • 512MB RAM
  • 4GB internal storage
  • 3G/HSPA
  • WiFi
  • Bluetooth
  • GPS with A-GPS
  • FM Radio
  • 3.5mm headset port
  • 1,550mAh battery
  • Micro USB port
  • Dual SIM functionality with dual standby support
  • Price: Php3,999

Flare 2x Specs::


  • 1.2Ghz Quad-core
  • 1gb Ram
  • 4gb Rom
  • 8MP rear Cam
Burst 2.0 Specs:
  • 4.5"fwvga capacitive touch screen
  • android 4.2 jellybean
  • Quadcore 1.2ghz
  • 5mp camera/vga front camera
  • 512mb RAM and 4gbROM
  • microsd up to 32gb
APOLLO Specs:

  • 4.5" hd (1280×720) Screen (not sure if IPS or Super AMOLED)
  • android 4.2 jellybean
  • quadcore 1.2ghz
  • 12mp camera/5mp front camera
  • 1gb RAM and 4gb ROM
  • microsd up to 32gb

Cherry Mobile APOLLO for me, will sure be a big hit and cherry will have big sales on this device.(only for me). And the 4.5 inch HD screen will sure have a large ppi. This is the first Filipino device to have a 4.5 inch HD display. The downside of this apollo is that this has only 4gb of ram which is seen on other Filipino handsets(kung baga, Laos na, hindi na uso).



Full review for Flare 2.0 coming soon

Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt Specs, Features, And review

If you want a tablet with great screen, quad core processor, and solid build and design quality but with small price, the you should go for the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt.





The Screen

    
       
I can say that this tablet amazing one because of its Screen and Build Quality. Its Screen sports a 7" HD IPS display Capacitive touchscreen and a visible viewing angle of 178 degrees. WOW, how good it is.
This tablet is really great for surfing the internet and watching 720p videos. This device generates vibrant and crispy colors. You cant spot pixels on it. Reading on this device is much more interesting than other device, while playing games here is much more easy thanks to this spectacular screen.
Screen Rating: 9/10


The Build and design Quality
As you can see above in side view it looks like the nexus 7. On first look you will mistake this device for nexus 7 because this has the same materials used. The only thing that this device is not really nexus 7 is that this has bigger bezels and there is a rear camera. Its dimensions are 186.2 x 126.9 x 10.8mm and has a weight of 320 grams which is not bad for a tablet. Overall this has solid build and a satisfactory design. This has a white version also. 
Build and Design Quality rating: 9/10


Performance
This device impressed many people when first unveiled. But when I bought one, its sluggish and I experienced keyboard lags when I am Typing. Issues are also reported about the performance of this device but fortunately, ainol has the firmware update. So after the update, its much better and efficient. This device has a 1 GHz Quad Core ARM Cortex Actions Semiconductor ATM7025 chipset and a 440MHz Mali-400 MP4 (Quad-Core) GPU.

You will experience lags on games but for a very short period of time only.

Antutu results 

Prototype (not updated)

Updated
Without the firmware update, you will experience lags on gaming, but with the firmware update,
you will never experience lags especially on Temple run 2 and Dead Trigger. Its my experience.

IF you have any experiences, PLS share it to us........

Cherry Mobile COSMOS X2 vs Star Mobile KNIGHT

The Knight had been already in the market by past several days, while the Cosmos X2 is out just now August. The Knight Has Impress a lot of people but, will the warrior stand against the Beast? Lets Find Out.

Cherry Mobile Cosmos X2 vs Star Mobile Knight
Design

The knight has a really good design, it is small, thin, lightweight, square design. But I dont like the soft and easy to break back cover. Once you have accidentally sited, pulled, fold the back cover, it will automatically break. The other thing that I like about Knight's design is that it only have a 7.5mm thickness. Cosmos X2 brings you a different taste, it is just a little bit bigger than the knight with 4.8 inch screen which is good. 4.8 inch is better than a 4.7 screen because it's not too small but also not too big. This Device has a Samsung Galaxy S3 Taste which is great. Some Specs of Cosmos X2 are similar to S3. This Phone has an advantage of physical Home Button and two capacitive button "Back and Options". The X2's back is
Brushed-Metal-like-Plastic. A really great Idea. The back Cover is not like the knight's breakable back cover. For Me I Prefer the Cosmos X2 for its Better Design against the Knight.

Design Comparison: The Bold words are the Benefits

Cosmos X2  
  • 145 x 74 x 9.85mm thick
  • 4.8 inch screen
  • Brushed-Metal-Like Plastic Back Design(Strong)
  • Comes with White and Black Colors
  • Removable Back Cover (Removable Battery)
  • 114mg weight
  • Physical and capacitive buttons   

Star Mobile "K"
  • 138 x 66.7 x 7.5mm thick
  • 4.7 inch Screen
  • Matte Plastic Back Design(Weak)
  • Comes with White and Black Colors
  • Removable Back Covers (non-removable bat.)
  • 120mg weight
  • Capacitive Buttons

Screen

The Cosmos X2 wins when it comes to the screen. Why? Because it has a 4.8 inch SUPER AMOLED HD DISPLAY compared to The IPS DISPLAY in The Knight. Although the Knight has a greater ppi, Cosmos X2 still wins it because a 4.8 inch is a not too big and not too small compared to a small screen in "K". Also the Screen of Cosmos X2 is a great chemistry with its Battery.

Screen Specs Comparison:

Cosmos X2



  • 4.8 inch Super AMOLED HD 720p screen.
  • 312 ppi


Star Mobile Knight


  • 4.7 inch IPS HD 720p Display screen.
  • 315 ppi


Camera

Both Phones have an 18MP BSI rear cam. They both have a flash. But The Knight has an advantage because it has a dual LED flash. The quality when it comes to knight is really great. But What I dont like about it is that it has the basic camera features even it is a different cam app. The X2 has also a different camera app, but more features than the "K" cam. The Image Quality in X2 is also great compared to Knight.

     A shot by Theodore Estadilla(author) in Pili

The Camera on the X2 can easily capture image in lowlight conditions but with great quality. But the Knight is much better when it comes to lowlight, but in outdoors, I think that the X2 is Better. On the image above on the knight, it has an extreme lowlight condition. The Knight beats X2 in indoors, flash and in front camera, while the X2 beats the "K" in Outdoors. In General, The Knight Wins me. Although the X2 has greater quality photos in outdoors, but what about the flash and the front cam? But if you will compare the pictures in both phones, you will not notice any difference. The X2's camera is great but For me, its the KNIGHT.

Camera Specs

Knight

  • 18MP rearcam BSI
  • Dual LED flash
  • 8MP BSI frontcam 
Cosmos X2

  • 18MP rearcam BSI
  • Single LED flash
  • 5MP BSI front Cam

Performance

The performance on both phones are almost likely the same. But the benchmarks of both are far from another. The X2 sports a  1.2GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6589 processor together with 
PowerVR SGX544MP @286Mhz GPU, 16gb of storage, and 1gb of ram. The "K" on the other hand comes with the same CPU and GPU and RAM. But X2 has extremely bigger storage. The storage in X2 is 4x larger than Knight's one. And the Battery of X2 is bigger than the "K" by 200mAh. In this round the X2 sure wins it, not because of storage, but also with the taste that cherry brings to the user together with the CPU and GPU and thats why the X2 has bigger Benchmark Scores than the "K" even with the same Specs.

BENCHMARKS

Cosmos X2


Wow! Seriously? 13810 score on antutu? Thats great whoooo! I am amaze with its score so bad. Greater than OHD 2.0, Skyfire 2.0, O+ 8.15, and Micromaxx Canvas 4.

Knight

A very far score with the X2 but still "K" comes with a REALLY great performance and a highly acceptable benchmark score. Hoooray for the LOCAL BRANDED DEVICES

FULL PHONE SPECIFICATIONS

COSMOS X2

  • Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
  • 2,000mAH Battery

Conclusion

The X2 is solid, great, fast, reliable, and amazing handset for you to buy and can compete with other international brands in a decent price. The Knight on the Other hand is a solid, decent, fast and great smartphone that can also compete with other international brands and also with a decent price for its specs. If you are a gamer, android Guru, also a video/photo man, the X2 is there, if you like photography, the "K" is there. But for me, The Cherry Mobile Comsos  X2 is the winner on this battle because of its solid phone and camera performance. 

Note: The camera on the X2 is a really great one and I am not saying that the X2 brings us low quality                     photos. The X2 can really compete with knight's camera using its features and outdoors quality.
