We recently spotted CloudFone’s new smartphone, the Thrill Plus. At Php3,999, it’s an affordable device with a 5.5-inch display, MediaTek CPU, and 2GB RAM. There’s another smartphone though, also from CloudFone that packs similar internals and price – the Excite Prime. Let’s find out which one is better on paper in our specs comparison below.
| CloudFone Thrill Plus | CloudFone Excite Prime |
|---|---|
| 5.5-inch IPS LCD display, 267ppi | 5.5-inch IPS LCD display, 267ppi |
| 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6580 quad-core CPU | 1.4GHz MediaTek MT6592M octa-core CPU |
| 2GB RAM | 2GB RAM |
| Mali-400 MP GPU | Mali-450 MP GPU |
| 16GB internal storage | 16GB internal storage |
| microSD card support | microSD card support |
| 8MP rear camera w/ LED flash | 13MP rear camera w/ LED flash |
| 5MP front camera | 5MP front camera |
| Dual-SIM | Dual-SIM |
| 3G | 3G |
| Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n | Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n |
| Bluetooth 4.0 | Bluetooth 4.0 |
| GPS, A-GPS | GPS, A-GPS |
| Android 6.0 Marshmallow | Android 5.1 Lollipop |
| 2,500mAh removable battery | 2,820mAh battery |
Based on the spec sheet above, it looks like the Excite Prime dominates in everything including a better CPU, higher rear camera resolution, and larger battery. The Thrill Plus gets the upper-hand though in OS version as it runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box and it’s equipped with dual front-facing speakers. That said, if you’re going to choose between the two, the Excite Prime is the best choice, but if you want to enjoy Marshmallow and louder audio, the Thrill Plus is the one to consider.
Both devices are available for Php3,999. You can read our review of the CloudFone Excite Prime here.
