Yung flare s3 ko po, pag hapon na wala na makita sa front cam niya, sobrang dilim na. Pero pag umaga ok naman sobrang linaw. At yung pag nagpopost ako sa fb ng mga pictures ko, lumalabo compare sa nakasave sa gallery.
How about the GPS ? Have anyone tried it already ? Like using Waze or any GPS apps?
wtf.. 1800mah, octa core 1.3ghz, 1gbram.. so uneven!
kabibili ko lang ng flare s3 octa kanina pero di aq satisfied sa quality nya, medjo mabagal ang processor nya compare sa S3 then 6gb lang yung rom nya kala ko ba 8gb rom what happened??. plus the fact na may defect ang earphone when it comes to call, di ko naririnig ang kausap ko
putek yan mas ,mura sa sa flare s2 q … . . gagzti cherry mobile yan
useless battery. 1800 is not enough , another fail of cherry mobile
Sobrang baba ng battery capacity, kaya free yung powerbank eh. Magbabaga sa init yang phone na yan. 1GB RAM? Come on! Anyway, nice try!
Users now somehow check specs before buying. Not worth buying.
any idea kung magkano original price talaga? or 4,499 talaga sya kahit after the feb 28 sale?
lolz. magsisisi na sana ako sa pagbili ko ng fuze s. nakita ko yung batt. waley.
thumbs down po sa battery. dinagdagan nila ng additional cores meaning to say mas lakas kumain ng battery.pero ang battery hindi nila pinalaki kahit 2100 mah man lang. still 1800 mah. im heading on the next cherry mobile festival this year…
sayang nmn 1,800 MAH lang
ilan po ba ang battery capacity ng CMflareS3 octa?
It’s 1,800mAh. Article already updated.
Ilan yung maH nung batt?
Battery?
Motolite Enduro 7 plates maintenance free brod. LoL!
