#cm skyfire 2.0

When the Cherry Mobile Hyper dropped by our HQ last week, it tagged along another 5-inch handset which goes by the name of Skyfire 2.0. The latest Skyfire is among the first batch of handsets that received a 2.0 moniker next to its name. As you might’ve already guessed, the name isn’t the only thing that changed here and we’ve taken the liberty of enumerating some of the improvements that the Skyfire 2.0 has over its predecessor. Occupying the majority of the area at the front is Skyfire 2.0’s 5-inch display which sits in between the three capacitive buttons below and the 2MP front-mounted camera at the top that’s flanked by the phone’s sensors and earpiece. Over to the back, you’ll find the Skyfire 2.0’s 8MP snapper along with its built-in flash and couple of brandings painted over a glossy back plate. Other than that, we think that Cherry Mobile Skyfire 2.0 will be a strong contender in the 5-inch dual-SIM category. After spending two days with the CM Skyfire 2.0, we have to say that we were so far impressed by its looks and how well it handled some of the basic tasks we’ve thrown its way.
