    Why of all of you so mentally intelligent?
    we is only talking about the reviews of CM Life.
    It is yet not even released. but today, tomorrow and yesterday you all giving bad reputation to cm life. and hey you all, you all have bad english!

    (pwidi na? ur dipindi?) ahahah

    tae naman kayo sasalita agad d pa nga released e.kahit mura lang yang cm life, tgnan nyo si cm flare, andaming issues nuon, pero sobrang daming tangkilik… ganito lng yan mga pre..
    kaya andaming nagsasabing mabagal ang services ng cherry mobile kasi marami silang mga buyers or fans lets say nlng. hindi nila magagawa lahat yan. indemand eh. magtaka kau kung ganito.. bagong labas, mahal, at pangit specs, natural walang bibili, natural na walang magpapaayos, natural hindi sya indemand, kea natural na walang reklamo.

      @Mr. English kung marami na bumenta ang CM eh pano pa kaya ung Apple specifically ung iPhone(lets say sa US dahil dun panigurado marami ang bumibili)?? di naman sila nagkakaproblema sa customer service dahil unang una kakaunting porsyento lang ng iPhone ang may factory defect at pangalawa maganda ang paghandle nila sa complaints,etc. hindi dpaat gawing excuse na di nila kayang gawin ang lahat, kaya nga nilang magbenta ng madami at maglabas ng phone monthly tas simpleng pagpapalit lang ng touchscreen aabutin ng buwanbuwan?BITCH PLEASE

    • Avatar for nikkojames15 nikkojames15 says:

      Really now? You dare compare Cherry Mobile to Apple?

      Una, Cherry Mobile rebrands the phones they sell. Minor lang ang control nila sa manufacturing process, like logos, colors and minor changes to the lineup like what camera to use, etc.

      Pangalawa, multi-billion dollar company ang Apple, so natural makakapagprovide sila ng good after-sales service. Kumbaga, lamok lang ang Cherry Mobile kumpara sa Apple.

      Pangatlo, ilan ang Apple Stores and Apple Resellers sa mundo? There are more Apple-owned Stores (not counting resellers) in the state of New York alone than Cherry Mobile Customer Solutions outlets in the entire Philippines. Every Apple Store/Reseller doubles as a service center.

      Lastly, Apple replaces units with defects (assuming it’s their fault) dahil kaya nila. Ask Cherry to do that, and they won’t last long enough to release the next Flare/Fusion Bolt/whatever. Hindi kaya ng Cherry ang replace lagi, so they opt to repair the units, kaya tumatagal sa Customer Solutions.

    Well, waiting for more feedbacks, kapag maganda ang mga reviews definitely I will buy this phone !

    Kung ram lang naman ang issue, get at least a class 6 MicroSD card, pwede niyo gamitin siya as “virtual RAM” gamit yung RAM Expander app sa Play Store.

    Question lang po sa author. Ano po ang mga sensors na kasama dito? Accelerometer, etc… Maganda sana kung may compass sensor na gamit ng ibang apps na kailangan ko.

    Kung hindi natin tipo o gusto yung featured unit dito. Huwag nang manira, exit window agad. Hindi ginawa yug unit para sa’yo..

    • Avatar for Tata Tata says:

      A rhetorical question is a figure of speech that is asked in the form of a question to make a point. Rhetoric, on the other hand, simply means art of persuasion. The author does neither, so the conundrum is not accurate.
      It should be “lowly life”, with or without dash, depending on its use in the sentence, ….referring to the state of life….of the people referred to…. so both of you is wrong. FYI “is wrong”… because both persons were taken in a collective sense; “are wrong”… is wrong grammar.
      PS. You could eat your English language anytime. Lol!

    • Avatar for retarded-ka-tards retarded-ka-tards says:

      @tards mentally retarded ka nga. Sinabi nang “taken in a collective sense” marunong ka pa kasi sa may pinag aralan eh kahit kinder d ka mapag aral ng yagit mong angkan. Kya ikaw yagit dooon ka nalang maglaro ng basura sa squatter niu at barong barong. Bakit alam mo ba when to use plural at singular. Wala yan sa squaqua oy!

    • Avatar for Bartolo Colon Bartolo Colon says:

      @Tata: “so both of you ARE WRONG” dapat diba. because “both” is a plural word since it implies two.

    • Avatar for lol lol says:

      @bartolo
      haha. i guess he meant saying that. XD

    • Avatar for carlo carlo says:

      @Tata “Both of you is wrong” –is absolutely WRONG! ano ba?? may collective sense ka pang sinasabi. hindi yan collective noh! nakakabobo lalo yung mga nagdudunung dunungan. i won’t expand more on this dahil hindi ito grammar blog. sana lang tigilan mga pagmamagaling dahil lumalabas lang lalo katangahan niyo.

      Hey y’all, you’re spending too much time fighting over grammar and stuff, why not just leave it alone? If you want to have right grammar, why don’t you just do things my way?

    Pwede na ‘to. Pamato ko sa PIKO.

  11. Avatar for Justin Justin says:

    Specs-wise and price-wise, yes, this is indeed a promising phone. Also, yes, I’m sure it will sell like pancakes. But personally, I wish they came out with a 1GB RAM version. I wouldn’t mind paying an extra P1000 to get twice the RAM. Sayang.

    @ Sir Ret, kami po kasing mahihirap ay walang pambili ng tinutukoy mong gadget, di naman po kami nagrereklamo, nagiging mabusisi at matanong lang dahil mahirap at magastos ang magkamali.
    Sa mga nag she-share ng matalinong pagkukuro kuro sa CM Life, maraming salamat po sa inyo

    Will it only be 2-point multitouch? That’s the one thing I find irritating about the flare.

    Is the Mali 400 GPU better than Flare 1’s Adreno 203 GPU for Gaming/UI Fluidity Performance?

    • Avatar for evollove evollove says:

      It’s the same GPU paired with previous Samsung Exynos chipsets, which powered the first 3 iterations of the Galaxy S line.
      It’s also the GPU for the NovaThor chipset which powered the first flagship Xperia S since Sony divorced itself from Ericsson.
      To date, I’ve never heard of a flagship with the Adreno 203 as its GPU.
      I rest my case.

    • Avatar for evollove evollove says:

      Let me correct myself: The 2nd and the 3rd iteration of the Galaxy S line and the first 2 iterations of the Galaxy Note line.
      (First Galaxy S had a PowerVR SGX540)

      Still better than the Adreno 203 and the PowerVR SGX531 in the MT6577.

    • Avatar for Chriselle Chriselle says:

      wag natin compare sa s2 and s3 though, meron dual core and quad core version din kasi yung gpu na mali400

    • Avatar for abuzalzal abuzalzal says:

      SUBSTANTIALLY and SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER

      If I’m not mistaken eto yung the same dual core version gpu ng mga Rockchip SoCs. It can pretty much run most of the casual games out there, pero hindi ko lang sigurado yung 512mb ram limitation

  17. Avatar for jego207 jego207 says:

    Durable naman ba ang units nila? Mahihirapan ka ba mag games sa specs na yan? Sorry, hindi ko gamay ang Android. :)

  18. Avatar for Kami Kami says:

    Please, enlighten me with a jellybean handset + 512mb ram? I read previous comments not only here but in other sites that it just doesnt work.

    Price wise, ofcourse. This will sell! Good luck kung may stock pa ito after few weeks of release.

    But of course, kudos cherry mobile!

    I think the time for basic bar phones will come to an end pretty soon.

    • Avatar for abuzalzal abuzalzal says:

      Tolerable siya kung browsing at basic phone functions, huwag ka lang mag expect sa games. Pero since MALI400 yung gpu medyo ok na rin siya kumpara sa taeng Adreno 203.

      This phone is actually pretty good for the price

    • Avatar for plask plask says:

      I agree with @abuzalzal, this smartphone is pretty good for the price. Definitely eyeing for this as my secondary phone next to my aging yet solid Samsung Galaxy S3. This phone’s totally unbeatable for the price.

      CM Flare was a great phone. and this is better than it. Mali400+MT6572. mga taga ibang brands jan, hwag na po ma “S”

    • Avatar for bajigjig bajigjig says:

      Taeng Adreno 203. haha it is indeed a sh*tty GPU for complex games.

    • Avatar for wew wew says:

      @bajigjig bale pairalin din po minsan ang utak ano po….tingin tingin din sa presyo bago ka magsalita jan ng kung anoano…

    • Avatar for PhSMASH PhSMASH says:

      @Web3, medyo ok na sna ung nsabi mo, dko lng ngustuhan ung “Kesyo na advertise dito”

      ndi nman po advertisement ito, e2 po tech reviews site :D

  19. Avatar for bolshebik bolshebik says:

    i would assume dual sim rin ito?

  20. Avatar for evollove evollove says:

    Dual-core and Mali-400 GPU combination? Does this use the NovaThor chipset found on the Sony Xperia line back in 2012? And on a somewhat related question, does the ArcMobile 401D also have this chipset?
