Cherry Mobile W900: The Dragon Phone for Php9,999

Cherry Mobile is set to launch a new mid-range Android smartphone next week they aptly called “The Dragon Phone” because of the 1.2GHz Qualcomm SnapDragon chip that came with it.

This 4-inch smartphone isn’t really a successor to the Magnum HD or the Magnum 2X but more of a parallel release as an affordable but decently spec’ed handset.

Yugatech 728x90 Reno7 Series

Cherry Mobile W900 specs:
4-inch capacitive display @ 480×800 pixels
Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 1.2GHz processor
Adreno 205
512MB RAM
1GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD (8GB included)
HSPA+ 21Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, WiFi hotspot
Bluetooth 2.1
GPS w/ aGPS support
DLNA certified, DivX, Dolby Digital Plus
5MP rear camera w/ 720p HD video recording
VGA front-facing camera
Android 2.3 Gingerbread

If I am not mistaken, this could be the same chip that was used in the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and the HTC Incredible last year.

I failed to check the battery capacity but my guess is that it will be around the 1500mAh rating which is the norm. We’ll post more details once we get more time during the May 3 launch event.

The W900 should be available in Cherry Mobile store nationwide next week with a suggested retail price of Php9,999.

      I’m also a proud owner of cherry mobile android phone, the Candy Chat. Been using it for 4 months now, never had a problem.

      I think most people are referring to phones that have TV, most of them are easy to break and have firmware issues.

    Geez, you guys are so pretentious. You pretend to be nationalistic, intelligent and better than the average china man. Our country’s chinese community comprise less than 5% in terms of population but they control more than 90% of our wealth. Your insinuations that you are far off better if you avoid using anything that’s made in China is hilarious, stupid and downright pathetic. I’m sure the “pinoy-wannabe-patriots” blabbing here don’t even have P50,000.00 in the bank. Stop discriminating against people more successful than you because of hard work. All you do is yada yada yada…

      Excuse me. For somebody who does not know me personally, you certainly are good at making judgements. Why not look yourself up in the mirror. How much do you earn? If you happen to hold a regular job, how much tax do you pay? Even if many businessmen (chinese) cheat on their taxes, what each of them pays is definitely more than what you make in your sorry ass lifetime and that includes the miniscule tax that you pay (if you have the less holier-than-thou conscience to do so). So shut up, indio!

    Ang tanga ng mga PROUD PINOY kuno dito. Bitawan niyo na yang mga cellphone, laptop, keyboard o mouse na hawak niyo kasi 100% may made in China diyan. Mga gunggong, pasalamat kayo sa workforce ng China may nahahawakan kayong mga cellphone ngayon. Kung hindi, tignan lang natin kung maafford niyo kahit Nokia 5110.

    Mga makitid na utak! Wag kayong pakabayani masyado, konting training pa mga bopols.

    I think wala naman sa kung mamahalin or mura ang smartphone mo. If it serves its purpose then ok. My latest globe postpaid is unli 599, because wala ng stock ng samsung galaxy y, I was forced to get cloudfone ice, I’m surprised na kahit medyo low specs siya, so far ay responsive siya, and I loved it, comparing to my brother’s sgy, this is more beautiful. Nasa gumagamit lang yan, Iphone man ang gamit mo, kung hanggang text ka lang, sayang lang…
