So Cherry Mobile finally revealed that quad-core tablet which they’re been teasing us for a week now. It’s almost the same Ainol Venus but they called it the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt.
The specs were slightly changed to a 1.0GHz quad-core instead of 1.5GHz and the internal storage is just 8GB instead of 16GB. This separates the Fusion Bolt from the regular Ainol Venus that’s out in the market.

Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt specs:
7-inch IPS LCD 720p HD display @ 1280×800 pixels
Actions Semiconductor ATM7025 ARM Cortex A9 1.0GHz quad-core
1GB DDR3 RAM
8GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
2MP rear camera
0.3MP front-facing camera
Li-Ion 4,000mAh battery
Android 4.1 Jellybean
186.2mm x 126.9mm x 10.8mm (dimensions)
320 grams (weight)
The most surprising part is that they will sell this tablet for only Php3,999. Not bad!
Release and availability is sometime in March 2013.
P.S. You can read our story about the quad-core CPU and dual-core GPU used in this tablet here.

Will this be available for the European Market? I live in Ireland and would love to get a quadcore tablet at this price!

Mahal pa rin. Sana 2499 or 1999 lang. Specs not that great.

please make a full review about the CD-R King Android TV Box…
thanks…
I think bang for the buck na siya. Dala ka na lang ng mobile power bank. At least hindi na 512mb yun RAM.
Magagamit ko ito sa pag-aaral ko
mapapamura ka sa price!

Madali ba masira ang Cherry Mobile products? My experience kasi with MyPhone is not so great. Kahit gano ka kaingat sa gamit, sirain talaga sya.
anu ba unit mo? C2 at c8? never had a problem with cherry mobile units, lalo na sa rebranded ones.
Pareho lang yan Cherry mobile at Myphone na sirain.
may bluetooth po ba ito o wala? kung meron, anong version po?
did a quick google about this tablet’s CPUand found lots of negative infos. they say that ATM7029 is not really an A9 but is actually a tweaked A5. you can do your own research. but i think it is still pretty good since it’s just @ 4k pesos. not to blame Cherry Mobile with the specs, nilalagay lng nila ung binigay na specs sa kanila ng OEM (Ainol)..

Very good pricing. Cheaper than buying the Venus Lite from Chinese online retailers. Baka pabili ako sa tita ko when she goes to PH on vacation para may back-up ako.
I have both the Nexus 7 and Ainol Novo7 Venus. I was using the Nexus 7 for Japanese manga but the lack of microSD slot was a nuisance so I bought the Venus. The Venus has the same nice 1280*800 IPS display and it works with Perfect Viewer just fine. No lags or anything. Chrome is a bit laggy, though. Despite the advertised 1.5GHz for the Venus, actual clock is just 1.2GHz so the performance difference between the “1.5GHz” Venus and 1.0GHz Cherry Mobile shouldn’t be that big.
It’s no good for 3D gaming, though. While GPU performance is a bit weak, the real issue is the Vivante GC1000 graphics doesn’t have good game support. Better stick to Tegra, Adreno, Mali or PowerVR.
bibigyan ko yan ng 1 week pagkadating ubos na yan sa market. After a month, isang barangay nakapila sa service center nila.
I rather pay premium price para sa “quad-core” na kasing bilis lang ng dual core. For me masyado lang na hhype na “Quad-Core” daw yung device, eh in benchmark results mas mabilis pa nga yung ibang dual core eh.
Saka I had it with Cherry Mobile, after 3 months bagsak presyo tapos nagpaservice na ako once at inabot ako ng 4 months bago makuha ang unit.
How right you are. My driver’s Cherry phone took all of 4 months to repair. Their reason? Walang parts available.
And when he finally got it, the phone lasted 2 months before biting the dust.
And the marketing head of the biggest appliance chain stores in the country tells me that Cherry products have a return rate of 30% which is why they do not carry their product lines.
Bitter maxado?! yan napala nyo kasi mga OC kayo kundi malas kayo! ako may flare, titan at superion, walang me isang diperenxa, mga panira kayo! anu nabili nyo? baka c2 at c8 lang, these are rebranded, sa labas pa lang, QC passed na mga ito. kng ayaw nyong bumili, din wag! bili kayo ipad or iphone!
Ooohhh… a Cherry Mobile employee speaks.
Say what you want…the return rate is 30% and the biggest appliance chain refuses to carry it.
‘Nuff said
@coachjojoc
Dahil ba positive ang experience ni angel, cherry mobile employee na agad?
Hindi ba pwedeng satisfied customer lang?
Dyan sa sinasabi mong 30% return rate, ano ang mga reasons for return? Return ba because of defect, user negligence, o simpleng return lang kasi nakapili sila ng iba.
Probably kaya ayaw ni “biggest appliance chain” sa cherry mobile, is because maliit lang yung margin na kikitain nila dito. Or the other way around, ayaw ng Cherry Mobile dito sa “biggest appliance chain” kasi marami na silang CM stores / kiosk.
That big appliance chain also sell cheap products that break easily. Cherry also does not need that big appliance chain. Its the other way around. The sales speak for themselves.
Hindi naman siguro 30% ang return rate ng mga ibang (as you call it)cheap products that break easily.
Caveat emptor!
@angel
Actually, they offer better services for non-Android phones. I experienced a similar fate with CM with 2 identical Android phones (forgot it but it was a dual sim one) and both has a touchscreen problem. Took them almost half a year to get fixed. And even blamed me for something I didn’t do. Time I had those phones were max 2 weeks upon purchase palang.
@someone/ronald
In business, it is definitely not that CM doesn’t need that particular “Biggest Appliance Chain” because everyone needs to have a new client, and I’m pretty sure CM need it. But most probably CM can’t offer what the Appliance Chain needs, terms. :) OT na po eto in terms of the topic.
@Coachjojoc
Acceptable RMA rate is only 3% if I recall the International Standards. Hopefully we can get a light on the 30% RMA rate. That’s no joke of a number. That’s basically 900% of the Industry’s standards and 30 out of 100 units are defective or highly susceptible to breakage.
So Angel pag entry level phone okay lang masira?
FYI any product dapat may QC (QUALITY CHECK) = Standards!
So meaning hindi dapat nasisira ang product in a manner where marami nakaka-experience. okay lang yung less that 5% of the total shipped in. Pero promise and I even DARE anyone to go to a Cherry Mobile Kiosk and wait for 1-2 hours, I assure you that there will always be a complainant.
Saka yung naranasan ko na 4 months para maayos ang Cherry Mobile Magnum ko. Ayan ANDROID PA yan ah.
Basta ako, uto uto ang madadala sa “Quad-Core” na yan kung mas mabilis pa MediaTek Dual Core.
I like the Screen and Expansion, but if you actually see deeper how its made possible to be 3,995 then okay…at least you understand what you are buying.
Did you all see the long lines of people to buy this tablet from cherry mobile? It is ike the pinoy version of people waiting outside an apple store when a new device comes out. Cherry Mobile is laughing all the way to the bank and does not care about your opinions or mine either.
Benchmark Test Result (AnTuTu)
Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt – 5,665
Asus Nexus 7 – 12,740
Pero not bad dahil sa presyo niya. :)
how was the score for the CPU Test?
