Cherry Mobile has a new affordable Android smartphone on the local market and for just above Php3k, you’ll have decent smartphone with a 5.5-inch HD display.
This is the Cherry Mobile Spin Max and it’s powered by a quad-core processor from MediaTek and has a relatively low 1GB of RAM. Its storage is at 8GB that can be expanded through a microSD card.
