Just a word of caution, the listing while (probably) legit, has errors… the 3GB Flare X should have the 1.7Ghz processor not 1.3 (as listed) and comes with Kitkat (though they could have flashed it to Lollipop, as Cherry Mobile had released the Lollipop ROM). Problema lang sa online buying, if it turns out not as listed, hassle to return it…

Otherwise, the 3GB version of the Flare X is a great phone and still can go toe-to-toe with recent releases including the 6,999/8499 Flash Plus 2 and the 6999/7999 Firefly Aurii Envy. It may not look as nice and doesn’t have fingerprint scanner but otherwise works well as those mentioned for up to 2k cheaper. Downside of the original Flare X is battery will probably not last through the day , if you are a heavy user, but at least it has removable battery, so you could just pop a fresh one in and be ready to go…

One thing I liked it that backcover (in gold, silver, and rose gold ) replacements can greatly enhance your phone’s aesthetics, and since they come pretty cheap (less than 250), you could almost forgo a case (if you dare risk it – camera can scratch easily), and have a great feeling phone on your hands….

It has a different processor compared to the the first gen. Flare X so that is why the clockspeed is down to 1.3 Ghz.

tama po yang nakkita niyo. dinowngrade nila yang flare x nang walang abiso. yan ang isa sa pinang hihinayangan ko since binili ko sya para sa 1.7 variant. pero napabili pa din ako dhil sa 3gb ram na sa flagships pa lang noon meron
