Cloudfone Excite Prime Review

Display and Multimedia

The Excite Prime is equipped with a 5.5-inch HD IPS display which equates to 267ppi which is still decent for a screen of this size. It’s bright with accurate colors and good viewing angles as well which makes it a good device for viewing photos and watching videos.

Speaking of videos, it comes with a ClearMotion feature that makes your videos more fluid and lifelike as it simulates higher framerates.

As for speaker quality, it’s very audible but is very trebly and doesn’t offer much in terms of bass. That being said, it should suffice for calls or casual listening but if you want better quality, you might want to stick to your headphones (as the Spotify Earphones included in the package sucks) or external speaker.

OS, UI, and Apps

Running the software department is Android 5.1 Lollipop with stock UI. It’s not an issue if you like to personalize as you can just download a good launcher at the Play Store.

Pre-installed apps are kept to a minimum which is good. It only has TouchPal Keyboard, Cloudfone Care, Clean Master, and the usual Google Apps. Only Clean Master can be uninstalled though.

Storage-wise, it starts at 16GB with 10.82GB of usable storage out of the box. It’s limited but it’s better than the 8GB starting point in other budget smartphones. To compensate, it supports microSD cards with up to 32GB capacity as well as USB OTG.

Camera

Cloudfone equipped the Excite Prime with a 13 megapixel AF rear camera and 5 megapixel front. The front camera has a wide-angle lens with built in Beautify and Wide Selfie feature. Image quality is decent and is good enough to post on your favorite social networking sites. As for the rear camera, image quality is quite nice — sharp with good colors and contrast. The only con we see here is the slow auto-focus even in bright conditions. See samples below.

As for its video recording prowess, it can shoot videos at up to 1080p resolution at 30fps in 3GP format. Quality is good as well but you will notice that it’s a bit jittery as the camera keeps on refocusing. Watch sample below.

    Tip> For much smoother press and swipe/lock
    Go to settings>look for the build number in About phone > Status>Press it 7 times > Go back to your settings look for the developer option > Look for the animation option for the default that should be set to 1.0 set all the animation settings to > 0.5x or just choose none(Im currently using none).

    Result: Much smoother navigation Hope this will help you guys :D

    I have one like this too. ExcitePrime At first i was very happy because maganda talaga yung phone and i feel na sulit ang bayad ko. I brought one last June 2015 pero around October 2015 after 4 monthsNasira na agad ang touchscreen ayaw na gumana ng ibang letters sa keypad. Tiniis ko kahit ganun pero just 2 weeks ago new year’s day ayaw narin mag read ng Sim card hindi ko pa dinadala sa service center buti nalang may nag regalo sakin ng new phone, pero wala pang 1 year ito sira na agad kaya ibig sabihin di talaga matibay i had the same experience with cherry mobile. Buti pa yung Iphone 3 ko napag lumaan na ng panahon almost 7 years na pero gumagana parin.

      Nabili mo kamo nung June 2015? Kaya pala nasira agad, hindi pa yan tapos. January 2016 na-relase ang Excite Prime.

    THIS IS NOT A GOOD PHONE. Bought one in JUNE 2016 sa SM Cubao the next month it’s not working anymore. Even if I was not using it, it keeps on browsing different applications installed. Nanginginit sya tapos me mga part ng screen na di gumagana. All of the phones I bought tumatagal sa akin until ipamigay ko sa iba. And maingat ako sa gamit, but this one is surely a disappointing product. Pinaayos sa service center sa ortigas. After a day balik na naman sa dati. OMG! Sayang lang pera pag bumili nito… Definitely a waste!
