VIDEO: Cherry Mobile M1 Unboxing and Setup

Very ugly design and build quality. The chipset and other features are good though. You’ll get the same innards with better design and build quality at a lower cost with other smartphone brands.

What the other guy said. Also, is the Wi-Fi and Data connection any good? Cherry’s previous flagship, Cosmos one plus, has terrible data connection coverage.

Does the USB Type-C support video out when connected to an HDTV using a USB Type-C to HDMI cable?

A BIG NO. In my all-around android experience (VR, 3D, lots of pics and video taken, plenty of useful apps with large data, usb storage and even using the phone as powerbank to power usb fans and just totally using the phone for all its worth), No Micro SD is a big no. There’s no future here. For those phones with no Micro SD slots, 128GB internal storage (64GB at least for the next few months only, again that’s based on my experience) is the only redeeming factor but then the exorbitant price vs. a replaceable, getting-cheaper-by-the-day 128GB Micro SD goes back to a BIG NO again. CM M1 phone could have been a top choice to add to the confusion in selecting a recommended newest phone at least for me. I’m tired of people crippled by “memory full” problems for years both in Android and IOS.
