Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt first impressions

Just this week, Cherry Mobile launched the Fusion Bolt, a 7-inch Android tablet with a quad-core processor. Although its specs seem to be common for tablets nowadays, its sub-Php4k pricetag is not.

As we have mentioned in our recent article, the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt is a relabeled Ainol Novo 7 Venus Lite. It sports a quad-core processor clocked at 1.0GHz, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. In addition, it has an IPS HD display, a microSD card slot, an HDMI out port, a 2 megapixel rear camera, a VGA front-facing and runs Android 4.1.1 Jellybean.

Aesthetic-wise, the Fusion Bolt looks like a regular Ainol 7-incher minus the Ainol logo. It’s plastic rear, however, is quite different. Instead of having a glossy or matte finish, it has a diamond-patterned back that gives an illusion that it’s made of rubber. It actually feels good in the hands and fingertips as the texture makes it less likely to slip. Overall, the device looks and feels solid.

We did a series of benchmark tests of the CM Fusion Bolt using AnTuTu, Quadrant, Vellamo and GLBenchmark. Check below for the results.

AnTuTu gave it a score of 5,985 while Quadrant Standard gave it a score of 2,722.

With NenaMark 2, it gauged its Vivante GC1000+MP GPU at 34.9fps.

      Anong 11.9k?
      Puro 5k+ kaya Antutu score nito kahit sa ibang pinoy tech reviewers.

    mataas ung specs nya, mababa naman ung score and rating nya sa benchmark.. di natin maloloko ung benchmarking ng android on how they rate your phone hardware specs performance..
    i have a branded phone single core. 6735 ung rating ng antutu benchmark.. mas mataas ung single core ko compare to fussion quad core ng cherry mobile..
    if bibilhin ko to, it is not for gaming purposes jus for viewing purpose only..

    Can’t wait for this. Been looking for a nice, cheap e-book reader tablet. Mukhang tamang tama toh.

    Kung balak niyong bumili nito, yung screen dapat target niyo (HD IPS!), di yung CPU/GPU. Maiinis lang kayo pag games hanap niyo. Yung quad nito parang dual-core lng ng iba. At GPU nito mas malala pa sa iba. Hanggang 2D games lang malalaro niyo ng maayos dito.
