Cherry Mobile taps Ainol for cheap ICS tablets

A number of readers have pointed out to me last week that Cherry Mobile is already selling what could be a co-branded Ainol Paladin tablet so I confirmed it with the folks from CM if this as indeed true.

We posted our review of the Ainol Paladin here back in January which was a huge hit for being the first ICS-powered tablet in the Philippines. That, plus the fact that it was really very affordable at Php5,800USD 99INR 8,379EUR 94CNY 720.

Cherry Mobile’s official statement was that “Ainol is an exclusive ODM Partner” (Official Device Manufacturer). This means CM can actually carry any or all of the tablets that’s being manufactured by Ainol. That also means you get local warranty and support service for those units as well.

I was also surprised that Cherry Mobile is doing a sale on this unit and priced it at only Php4,999USD 85INR 7,222EUR 81CNY 620.

Check out the poster above for details of this sale (along with all other Android devices from CM).

  1. No.

  2. Finally they woke up from the public clamor, could this be much better than those cd-r king fastpad that carries the A10 processors?

  3. nice one..affordable tablet.

  4. Here’s hoping they’ll carry the one with IPS screen as well (Advance 2). Php 6500

    As far CDRKing fastpads, the 8″ (android 2.3)one with Allwinner CPU is actually very good, save for the screen that washes out at slight angle (although to be fair, most, if not all cheap (non-IPS) Android tablets have pretty much the same deficient screen. The CPU is up to task, though, it promises to play HD Videos without hiccup, and it lives up to it’s promises!

    The 7″ Fastpad with Rockchip CPU is still good, and have a better built quality than the 8″one but it does not decode HD videos as well. Php 5800

    The Pavizio (sold at Toy Kingdom!) also has the Allwinner CPU and is a good performer as well, but like the Ainol review at Yugatech, it’s gyroscope will not work on Temple Run (tilted to the left). But cheap at 5,500.

  5. Not worth the money of people,

    STOP SAYING ITS 50% OFF! No one in the IT industry makes money in a 50% sale!

    Like the W900, would I really pay a 14,999 Phone?

    Its ridiculous how Cherry mobile is doing the same tactics of saying 50%, 70% off like Alcatel or Fila shoes.

    Just for everyone who reads this, compare the CHERRY MOBILE service center and the Samsung Mobile Service center both in SM North Edsa Annex Building.

    I guarantee you that CM has 2x more waiting customers EVERYDAY. So simply think about that.

  6. tempting ung Cherry Pad Advance

  7. Question:

    Is the quality of Cherry Mobile Android Phones/Tablets good enough? reliability wise?

    The prices look tempting

  8. Question:

    Does this deal will hit Cebu stores? I bought my wife last year a cherrypad turbo and have been satisfied ever since… I sometimes even borrow one… I would like to buy my own tablet from cherry mobile

  9. i went to megamall and saw the poster but they don’t have the unit yet said the saleslady.

  10. their prices are unbelievably great but the question is the quality and longevity of the device…

  11. Don’t waste your money on these cheap gadgets. After 4 to 6 months, sira kaagad.

  12. haven’t tried any cherry mobile device yet. but with this price,the quality can be a little underrated yea?

  13. Can anyone confirm if these devices have Google Play or Google Market?

  14. The ainol paladin has some hardware issues which include the MIPS based processor that gives a lot of android apps incompatibility but as compensation gives great battery life and great video decoding. Additionally, there is the phantom touch issue which the tablet has some random presses hopefully cherry mobile could fix this issue.

  15. sinisira lang ng Ainol ang pangalan nila dito sa Pilipinas, wag sa cherry mobile.

  16. I checked their store last Tuesday, they showed me the Cherry Mobile Advanced and I noticed that the LCD is sticking out on the edges. I was about to buy it when the sales person pointed this out to me. Then they brought out another unit and still the same problem. I ended up not buying any tablet from CM. Credit to the sales person for being honest though.

  17. so the cherrypad advance is the v1 and not the v2 IPS where they have fixed the screen issue? i hope CM releases one with the v2

  18. if u hav d money,do buy the expensive ones but if u intend to buy cheap w/ comparable quality go 4 CM Ainol..it’s worth 4 ur money…:-))

  19. I purchased this device. It’s not bad for 5900. Sulit n rin s features. I bought it kasi nga gawa ng Ainol! So far I’m enjoying it. I can play 3D games.. Ok din ung HDMI output. Responsive din ung touch screen and the speed is OK. Videos OK din. Can Play any format. Actually, if you hve a USB Keyboard, LCD TV meron kanang mini laptop. Very nice for 5900.

    Cons; Walang volume button for easy access. I have to install volume widget para mablis ko ma adjust ung sounds. Pero pag nsa loob kana ng Games dmo malalakasan at mahihinaan and sounds.
    Sablay din ang Audio, mahina kelangan p naka headset para talga marinig mo ung mga pagpindot mo ng keys (if keypad sound is enabled). Alam ko mgagawan p nila ng paraan un.. I just have to wait for updates.

    Kung afford nyo mamahaling device dun kau. Pero kung nagtitipid kau OK n to!

    Overall good device!!

  20. bakit kaya sinasabi nila na hindi daw pwede and broadband stick sa CM paladin, almost lahat ng store at saleslady,,, pwede nman eh,, dali lang set-up and need lang ng cable mini usb to female usb,wla kasing free na kasama, ginamit ko yung free cable sa ainol advance 2,, maganda pa paladin kasi clear and picture if browsing sa advance distorted ang picture, thanks na rin sa cable,,

  21. i just bought new cherry paladin last june 15 , 2012 after 14 days, hindi na siya nag ON biglang nag shutdown..kaka charge ko lang at full talaga…discouraging talaga kaya wag pa loko sa mura

  22. .. hi.. ahhmmff capable po ba yung yahoo messenger xa cherry mobile paladin ???

  23. Uu nman. Download ka s Android Market… Pag di pedi YM dyan di yan Smart device! :P

  24. I really don’t like Cherry Mobile as well based on experience. I bought a Cherry Mobile Stellar and it’s battery life was ridiculously short. I think mine was an isolated case since other reviews said that the battery life of it was adequate. Anyway, it’s in the service center right now and it’s been 3 weeks already because the USB port got REMOVED and I gotta pay P600 for a part that costs P50 (due to the labor costs). I really would discourage anyone from buying CM except for their really basic cheap phones but for something more high-end, I suggest just pass on it.
