Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0: Quad-Core Phone on the Budget

Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0
Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0 has been launched today.  Despite of the anticipated Cherry Mobile Omega HD release today.  It was said to us that the Omega HD failed to arrive in the Philippines today.  So as a consolation, I am now presenting the Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0!!!  Quad-core phone that cost you below 10,000 pesos.  This Flame 2.0 has projected promising specifications so far and I will be posting the first hand information on this unit.  This Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0 is priced at 6,999 pesos.  This will be available this coming April so watch out for that!  This is an ultimate phone for those who want to enjoy a quad-core in a much lower price.  Right on the budget.  We all know that the cheapest quad-core in the market would cost you roughly 18,000 pesos, but before you set you expectations high, let take a sneak peak of this unit first.

Striking Feature:  Picture-in-Picture Function

This is one of the unique feature function of this quad-core phone.  Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0 has this Picture-in-Picture Function, wherein you can take pictures simultaneously using both the front and rear camera.  Nice huh?!  This is a good function for camera whores out there.

The picture quality is definitely good.  What is more interesting is the new imaging feature.  Will this new imaging feature makes this gadget a hit to the consumers?  Let us see in the next few days and weeks.

Update: 

AnTuTu Benchmark

Here is the AnTuTu Benchmark of the Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0.  It exceeded HTC One X in way.  See for yourself on the picture below.

It exceeded my expectations also as per performance but as per the battery capacity, this could be the downfall.  You might want to invest on powerbanks or bring your charger with you most of the time.  Let us see if the people will have the same feedback with this phone once it becomes available in the market.

  1. For real? 1600mAh for a Quad Core Phone? This won't even last you a half day. Exceeded your expectations? Let's figure it out on actual day to day usage.

  2. Exceed expectations as PER PERFORMANCE. Thanks for that one. But the downfall of this unit would be the battery since it will eat up a lot for a quad-core phone.

    1. they are selling this one for a cheaper price so I don't think that they will expand the battery life. Syempre business is business din.
