Performance and Benchmarks
Powering the Excite Prime is a 1.4GHz MediaTek MT6592M octa-core processor with 2GB of RAM. Performance is good as we didn’t experience lags, crashes or random reboots. UI navigation is fluid with smooth transitions in between apps. It is also good for gaming but don’t expect the same performance you can get in flagship devices. Take a look at the benchmark scores below.
* AnTuTu – 28,349
* Quadrant Standard – 16,138
* Vellamo – 1,272 (Multicore), 801 (Metal), 1,745 (Chrome)
* 3D Mark – 4,397 (Ice Storm Extreme)
Connectivity and Call Quality
Connectivity-wise, the Excite Prime supports dual-SIM, 3G connectivity, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS – the basic configuration. What’s lacking though is LTE connectivity which probably helped in keeping its cost down. Mobile data and call quality is good as well as long as you’re in an area of good reception.
Battery Life
Given its size, we were expecting the Excite Prime to carry at least 3,000mAh battery, but Cloudfone only equipped it with a 2,820mAh. Still, it’s pretty much decent especially for a light to moderate user who is mostly on social apps and web browsing.
In our PC Mark benchmark, its battery life was rated at 8 hours and 6 minutes. While in our video loop test (Airplane mode, Full HD on loop, 50% brightness and volume with headset plugged in) it managed 9 hours and 36 minutes of playback, which is average.
Conclusion
After our time with it, we still find it unbelievable that the Cloudfone Excite Prime is priced under Php4K as most of its strongest points are usually found on offerings that are at least Php5K. It has a nice build, good HD display, decent performance, good camera (but needs some improvement in AF speed), Android Lollipop, and an average battery life. It’s not perfect though, as there’s no LTE connectivity and has an underwhelimg loudspeaker, but if you’re in a tight budget and don’t mind the cons mentioned, the Excite Prime is a good buy.

Hi . I bought one yesterday. But it happen na may mga apps application na recommended for download. sobrang annoying nya though naka block naman sya sa settings pero from time to time na ioopen ko yung phone ko lagi syang nag aappear. What do I need to do para mag stop yung pop-up nun buti sana kung useful yung App d naman.
Thanks!

Pano po matanggal yung vibrate ng cep pag nagttype?
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.
hi. PWEDI BA ITO MAGAMIT IN OTHER COUNTRIES? GAGANA BA ANG SIM PAG NILAGYAN KO SYA SIM FROM OTHER COUNTRY? TNX. KASI SABI NG FRIEND KO, PAG DINALA DAW ITO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE SA JAPAN, MAGAGAMIT MO LNG DAW SYA PANG WIFI OR INTERN ET..DI DAW SYA MAKAKA CALL AND TXT.
Pwede ba itong maupgrade to marshmallow? Please reply anyone? Kasi gusto kong bumili.
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!
sad story, mukang pareho tayo re screen and ghost touches. San po sa Ortigas service center nila? thanks
obviously defective yan nabili mo. lahat ng snabi mo nver ko naicounter lalo n ung umiinit. akin 2021 n ginagamit ko pa. still runs smoothly.
