5-inch HD IPS display @ 1280 x 720 resolution	5-inch HD IPS display @ 1280 x 720 resolution, Dragontrail glass	5.5-inch Full HD OGS IPS display @ 1980 x 1020 resolution, Dragontrail glass

2100mAh battery	2200mAh battery	2800mAh battery
Php4,999	Php4,999	Php7,999

Looking at the table, we could see that some of the internals used for the three newcomers are identical like the 8-cored MediaTek processor and 16GB of internal storage. Below is the breakdown of the similarites and differences:

Similarities:

1.3GHz MediaTek octa-core processor
16GB internal storage
4G LTE
Connectivity
Dual-SIM
Android 5.1 OS

Flare S4 Plus advantages:

5.5-inch Full HD OGS IPS display @ 1980 x 1020 resolution
3GB RAM
16MP rear camera
8MP front camera
2800mAh battery

Since the Flare 4 and Flare S4 has the same SRP of Php4,999, you’ll be basically paying three grand more for a bigger screen and battery, a gig bigger of RAM, and better optics front and back. On the other hand, the Flare 4 and Flare S4 will only let you decide if you want a display with Dragontrail glass, but are willing to sacrifice the Flare 4’s aluminum sides for a plastic back.

madaling ma low bat kindly fix the stand by battery drain issue…………

jax0216 · 11 years ago

hi. i have the CM Flare S4, just want to share that the battery seem to be discharging way too fast. I also own a CM Cosmos Force and it lasts significantly longer that my Flare S4. this is not an accurate estimate but it seems to drain 1% per 5mins. and this is on standby, connected to wi-fi. i have cleared all known apps that eats memory, resources and thus battery. it still drains way too fast. hope they will put a “fix” on it soon. aside from that issue, i am very satisfied with this phone.

Gary · 11 years ago

Is s4 plus a dual 4G

ding · 11 years ago

Doogee F5!

Thor Carillanes · 11 years ago

I love Cherry Mobile but ayun for this time I’m switching muna to Alcatel Flash 2. Until they realize that Android stock rom is better and until they’re able to figure-out a way to sole the fast draining battery issue…

Non-Removable naman battery ng alcatel flash 2. sa una ang saya mo ang tagal maubos ng battery. pag tagal at mablis na maubos. badtrip kna palit kana CP. e sa Cherry mobile flare s4. removable kaya anytime pag pumalya battery palit lang. at dami pwd sulution. power bank. MOD battery. kaya happy happy ka parin sa unit.

what do you mean by this “On the other hand, the Flare 4 and Flare S4 will only let you decide if you want a display with Dragontrail glass, but are willing to sacrifice the Flare 4’s aluminum sides for a plastic back.”?

akatsuki · 11 years ago

don’t buy in lazada. items there are 50% of the time has defects.

Henie · 11 years ago

50%? If this were true, then I must be insanely lucky having bought over 40 items from Lazada and has yet to receive a single defect item. I’ve ordered a phone, flash drives, memory cards, powerbanks, battery, watches, appliances, etc.

bukangkangkanalang · 11 years ago

tama ka jan henie i have ordered lots of item at lazada and they are all working fine.

shamcey sup · 11 years ago

Carl · 11 years ago

Wow Ha. 1.3 Ghz lang ang Speed. Hay naku. May maigi pa ang Flash Plus diyan eh.

P N Bear · 11 years ago

Don’t both Flare 4 and S4 have the same screen size? Moreover, what are the available colors for each?

Capman · 11 years ago

The batteries are lacking

Trapcard · 11 years ago

^Typical Peenoise, “The batteries are lacking..” the heck.. I’m sick of this kind of complaint.
You are actually getting more than it’s worth.. I don’t think your ‘battery is lacking’ statement makes sense.

Capman · 11 years ago

^You know the Alcatel Flash Plus? It has a 3500mah battery and it costs less.

Unfortunately for TRAPCARD · 11 years ago

… your comment itself is much more characteristic of “Peenoise” than the comment you were complaining about. Not to mention that it makes you look like a pompous, pretentious prick. People have the right to complain, and you didn’t have to read it. You have no right to tell them that they’re “getting more than they’re worth” unless you want to keep sounding like the paid dog of lazy, noncompetitive fat cat businessmen. Businessmen who would be out of business last decade ago Thursday if it weren’t for the amount of resources they throw into preserving their old, decrepit models instead of adapting to the pace of technology and *consumer* demand.
