  1. I don’t care how cheap it is but everybody should avoid the Adreno 203+ 512 mb RAM combo…parang imburnal tong kumbinasyon na ‘to

  2. Basta android dapat at least 1GB RAM. Mapipikon ka lang sa lag pag ganyan.

  3. It’s a crap specs if your a hardcore gamer. But a good back up phone for calls, text and music. The only difference I see from Flare 1.0 is the quadcore processor and the 3 point touch. Is there anything else?

  4. i know this should be a budget phone. but at least give it a 1gb ram

  5. maybe enough for gradeschool students pero hindi gagamitin panglaro…

  6. ampota… 4k lang yan, wag na kayo maghanap ng ibang features sa ganayang halaga. potaenang mga pilipinong reklamador

  7. buti pa myphone A848i dito, same price lng pero mas mataas ang battery, 1800 mah, un nga lng dual core nga lng. aanhin mo un quad core na kapos un battery. parang maging kakambal nito un powerbank nyan.

  8. Pwede to pangharabas. Pwede na pang wifi sa waiting shed.

  9. konti nalang ascend g525 na…
    malayo ba speed nito sa ascend?

  10. Kelan ba to magkaka available dito sa cagayn de oro?

  11. For basic usage pwede na tong phone. San ka ba naman makakita ng 4k na quad-core phone.

  12. Ang daming ANDROID devices na basura na binebenta sa market ngayon ! Isa na ito. Basura talaga yang ANDROID na yan.

  13. chillax lang mga dre! eto puff and pass

  14. daming mka myphone nga ng comment

  15. bili ako nito

  16. I stopped reading when I saw “512MB RAM”. Man, 512MB RAM and Android Jellybean is a sure ingredient for disaster.

  17. para naman tanga yung iba dito. bibili ng murang cellphone tapos mag-eexpect ng kung anu-ano.

    para kang bumili ng netbook tapos magrereklamo bakit hindi makapaglaro ng 3D intensive games.

    Hindi naman advertised na pang gaming yan.

    Tama lang yang 512MB na RAM. Bukod sa games, anong app pa ba malakas sa resources?

    Kung gusto niyo maglaro bumili kayo ng mas maganda dyan.

  18. dont expect good specs for 4k only.. wat the!!!!! its only entry level kung gusto nyo good specs ipon kayo above 10k.. ok?

  19. Pang entice talaga yung QUAD-CORE sa ganitong price point. Pero ang tanong, paano naman ang performance?

    Baka naman talunin pa ito ng dual core+1g ram. So of anyone can give us a clear picture, better. At kung ilalampaso lang ito ng mga dual cores with 1gb ram at the same price point (kung meron man) THEN WE CAN SAFELY SAY that this PHONE IS SIMPLY POINTLESS AND HOAX.

    Uki po? Now, on with the proofs!

  20. For fans of the original Flare, this is a good buy. For the same price, you technically get a quad core phone.

  21. Panigurado champion sa low bat yan.

  22. Bullying a phone does not make you cool. It makes you look like a STUPID FOOL…

  23. Sana same battery ng old flare para pwd gamitin yung samsung s3 moded battery d2. Pero i think iba na sya? Well i hope im wrong!

  24. Puro kayo reklamo wala naman kayo maipalit!! Sige nga magrecommend kayo ng same specs or lower specs na ganito ang presyo? Pinag aralan din yan bago ilabas sa market , at least may mas mababa na price. Kung gusto mo ng mas mahusay na phone 20K ang ibudget mo ! Pati pangkain at pambayad sa ilaw tubig mo ibili mo na lang ng phone, Squatter !!! hmmp ….

  26. Reading the comments section never ceases to amaze me. Pengeng popcorn! Hahaha.

  27. wow, nakakahiya mga tao d2. pinag ppyestahan pa ang specs nito. Tingin2x din sa presyo oh. The higher the specs, the more expensive the smartphone. ganun un mga ugok. gamitin nyo din utak nyo minsan, d yan stainless.

    anyways, almost the same specs din dito ung Nokia Lumia 520 (WP8 OS) pero x2 presyo ng L520 kumpara dito sa Flare 2.0.

  28. I don’t have any qualms with this one, for 4k it’s quite a good deal na eh, I mean who would even buy this phone and play hardcore games in it like the other posters say? Pag nakuha ko na baon ko sa monday, I’ll buy this one if available na. Nakakatawa lang talaga yung ibang nagcocomment na panay bash ang pinagsasabi sa phone na ganto, XD I mean, why are you guys even here? lol.

  29. the price for the unit is good, Cherry Mobile is giving the masses the opportunity to buy cheap phones but then better read Tech news with the effect of only having 512mb ram in combination of a Jellybean Android OS.

    What can i say is its useless, JB is optimized for devices having 1gb ram, the fact that when you browse the system settings almost 50mb has already been consumed, if multiple apps are running all at the same time, then the user will already experience lag particularly when playing “hard core” games like Dead Trigger and the new Asphalt 8 or even using different launchers aside from the stock launcher, using multiple camera apps and installing widgets.

    ~anyway if users are only “casual” then this phone is good, but not the best out there….

    ~magaling gumawa ng marketing strategy ang Cherry Mobile dahil marami parin ang bibili nito kahit pa maraming nagrereklamo sa kanilang bad after sales service…. dahil sa maganda sa tunog na “QUAD CORE”

    ~lets see what this phone can do, kasi when i last browsed the FB Fanpage, meron na kagad nagrereklamo….

  30. don’t expect a GAMING phone @ 4k php haha tandaan nyo di lang Kabataan ang gumagamit ng cellphones the same way na di lahat ng nag cecellphone ay gamers :)

  31. Suspetsa ko di tunay na Jelly Bean yung JB nitong Flare 2.0 kundi Jinjer Bread — homecooked ROM ng Cherry Mobile based on a heavily stripped-down version ng JB 4.1…

    Jowk lang! =D

  32. ALAM NYO SUBUKAN NYO MUNA YUNG GAWA NG CM BAGO KAYO MAG FEEDS NANG SALUNGAT PARA MALAMAN NYO

  33. everytime na nagbabasa ako ng Yugatech, I get the same feeling pag nasa 9GAG ako hahahA!

    so funny how filipinos fight each other in the cyber arena hahaha…. bobo dito, fuck you doon, social climber dito, putang ina doon! hahahahahhahaha nakakatawa!

  34. nakuha nyo pa magreklamo eh sa price pa lang nyan panalo ka na! icompare mo kaya ang cm flare 2.0 sa ibang brands na same price range, ewan ko lang kung makahanap kayo ng ganyang specs! ang bobo ng mga nagrereklamo! feelingerz mayaman! edi dun kau sa mamahaling smartphone at ilibre nyo lahat ng nagrereklamo! bashes and hates is a disease! kayo mismo sa sarili nyo makakagamot nyan!

  35. mabilis lang cherry mobile flare kapag wala masyadong naka install na applications, pag may mga themes na and games, SOBRANG BAGAL!!!! kahit text messaging sobrang hirap, hindi maganda response ng touch screen.. makikinig ka ng music? sobrang baba at hina ng quality. calls? hindi malinaw.. sa isang salita, BULOK.. sayang lang pera ko..

  36. What is the video capture quality of this phone? Can it record 720p videos?

  37. Mass bulok mga ugali nio mga cm haters.mga bobo!

  38. Puro kayo reklamo! Wala kang mahahanap na ibang phone na ganyan kamura at ganyan ang specs.. tsk!..

    Yung mga nagrereklamo jan na 1gb ram dapat wait niyo nalang CM flare 3.0 baka 1gb na ram nun..hehe..

    Bili mna kayo CM Flare 2.0 i test niyo bago kayo mag-reklamo..:)

    na try ko na to CM Flare 2.0 kakabili lang ng uncle ko – ayos naman mabilis kasi wala pang apps hehe..

  39. Ayos yan. You guys never fail to amuse me, mga nagfefeeling techy and all that. why would someone compare a local brand of CM to an international brand “SAMSUNG” LOL. CM gives the opportunity to people who can’t afford samsung/apple. kaya nga MURA LANG na may tamang specs lang. buti nga 4k lang na quad core eh. expect mo, Local yan. Ndi ko sinasabing Mahina ang LOCAL Brand. pero. DUH. seryoso, samsung vs CM? :)) Isip isip din pag may time, kasa ka ng kasa ng bibig mo. mag isip isip din. :))

  40. Mga haters!! My flare 1.0 is almost 9 months old na and up to now wala pa ri g flaws ang unit ko! Puro koyo complains nga hinayupak! Kung ayaw nyo sa brand a sa unit na to, better shut up, mukha kayong desperadong putik!!

  41. ask ko lang po kung mabilis ba to malobat sa mga nakatry na nito? Thanks :)

  42. sa mga gipit sa buhay, at may sapat lang na budget OKAY n OKAY nato. kaya sa mga nagbbash dyan FULLTANK kayo!! OINKI ng ina nyo!! mga feeling bigtaym kayo!! RAWWRR XD

  43. Yan hirap satin eh gusto ng mataas na specs. Pero ayaw ng mahal na presyo.. Diba pwedeng makuntento nalang? And okay naman CM sakin(di ko pa kasi natry magpagawa sa SC nila kaya wala pa akong reklamo eh hahahahahaha)

  44. HINDI AutoFocus ang CAM!

    naka pag test ako FLARE ko at yung FLARE 2.0.

    kahit naka Macro shot ayaw talaga.

  45. mga dudezzz! really?. maganda talaga tong flare kapag marunong kang gumamit ng ANDROID ng cellphone. I mean hindi kasi automatic namamatay ang mga apps kpg na-iclose mo na, so makakaexperience ka talaga ng pagbabagal at pagkaubos ng battery. best solution, i-root mo tapos install ng auto task killer. boom!!!!! BOBO lang ninyo.

  46. hahaha use it muna. saka kung passive user ka lang dead end kn talaga sa kung ano lang yung usual na nagagawa ng phone. subukan nyo mag root at maglagay ng apps/gamed kahit pa 512mb lang ram nyan, baka sabihin nyo “ASTIG”. ang dami ko naka install na games. lahat nasa SD card na class 10. iisipin mo mamahalin cp ko pero “hindi”. alamin nyo mga tweaks muna. mga haters na bobo hahahaha

  47. meron na ako nito flare 2.0, at pati 1. Panalo sa prisyo ang phone na to pati sa performance. Yun e kung alam mo ang mga tweaks,

  48. hala bibili pa naman sana ako ayy :(

  49. meron ba kayong original rom nito,,?
