CM Flare 2X now out, packs twice as much RAM

Cherry Mobile has just started selling the Flare 2X which, in a nutshell, is similar to the recently announced Flare 2.0 but with 1GB RAM encased inside a shiny new packaging.

In addition to the RAM upgrade, CM also gave the Flare 2X a minor facelift on the imaging department, equipping it with 8MP snapper instead of 5MP.

Cherry Mobile Flare 2X specs:
4″ WVGA (480 x 800) 3-point touch screen LCD, 233ppi
1.2GHz Qualcomm 8225Q quad-core CPU
Adreno 203 GPU
1GB RAM
8 megapixel AF camera w/ LED flash
VGA front-facing
3G, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth
dual-SIM
4GB of internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD
1,550mAh battery
Android 4.1.2 Jellybean

All of these subtle improvements will only set you back Php4,499USD 77INR 6,499EUR 73CNY 558 which Php500USD 9INR 722EUR 8CNY 62 more than what you’ll pay for a Flare 2.0 which is priced at Php3,999USD 68INR 5,777EUR 65CNY 496. It isn’t too shabby at all considering the benefits of having 1GB RAM. However, do note that the handset is on a limited stock so it’s best if you grab one while it is still available.

Ano kaya ang reactions ng mga unang bumili ng Flare 2 na hindi nila nalalaman na may 2X pala?

Ok sana siya kung gumagamit ang Cherry Mobile ng LCD/LED capacitive touchscreen, hard touch kasi eh. At 1,550 mah battery? Mas ok pa din sa mga high end market bumili. But this is just my opinion, anyway if you want to buy it just go! Just always remember to be practical. :)

I love it. It’s for everyone who wants to own a quad core phone and experience Jelly Bean without emptying his bank account.

FINALLY

CM acknowledging that Jelly Bean + 512 mb RAM doesn’t cut it anymore

Now get rid of that dog-of-a-gpu called the Adreno 203

Bought this one yesterday. Ok naman sya misis ko lang naman gagamit. Basic fb, viber, surfing simple games. Napansin ko lang mabilis malowbat. Or ganun ba talaga kabilis madrain. Online kasi lagi coz of pocket wifi at home. 4,499 price at any CM shop. Still waiting for jelly case from CM wala pa daw stock kasi kakalabas pa lang. Better than its competitor at the same price and specs.
