Cherry Mobile ay muli nang nagtataas ng hamon sa lokal na merkado sa pamamagitan ng paglilabas ng pinakamura na dual-core Android smartphone sa Pilipinas, ang Magnum 2X (isang upgrade ng Magnum HD).

Mga specs ng Cherry Mobile Magnum 2X:
3.8" capacitive display @ 480x800 pixels*
1.0 GHz NVvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor
8GB internal storage
hanggang 32GB via microSD
512MB RAM*
5MP rear camera & VGA front-facing camera
WiFi 802.11 b,g/n, WiFi hotspot
Bluetooth 2.1
3G/HSDPA
GPS w/ aGPS support*
Android 2.2 Froyo (upgradable to Android 2.3)

Ang ilang impormasyon sa itaas ay hindi inilabas (yung may asterisk) ni Cherry Mobile ngunit ang kaunting paghahanap ay nagbigay sa amin ng karagdagang detalye. Hindi sigurado kung kaya nitong maglaro ng full HD videos pero dahil NVidia chip ito, malamang na kaya nito. Mas maliit ang display size kumpara sa 4.1" ng unang Magnum HD.

eonzerimar · 15 years ago

ask ko lng sirAbe possible ba palitan ng os ang mga CP na katulad ng cherry with another flavor of android?

Norison · 15 years ago

Upgradable siya sa Gingerbread…check mo na lang sa website ng cherry mobile.

Gumz · 15 years ago

how about the battery life?

Zero987654321 · 15 years ago

This phone has NO Gingerbread out-of-the-box, nor does it have a camera flash, or even HDMI TV-Out (or that’s what GSMArena.com is saying; they don’t even know what Wi-Fi networks its Indian cousin, Micromax A85, can connect to)

So much for the Dual-core processor.

But hey! At least it’s new for under 16k; a second-hand SGSII will run you at least 19k, Optimus 2x around 15k. :)

The Gingerbread update is now available on the cherry mobile site. I did it and the phone is amazing now.

same spec as LG O2X. but i rather get O2x if got the money.

It’s amazing that a dual core NVIDIA Tegra device can be priced this low. Makes you think how profit-hungry the other OEMs can be…. It’s still not for the brand conscious though. My friend is yet to recover from the horrors of a cherry phone getting bricked on a single-drop.

To anyone who actually wants to see what it looks like, here’s a preview of the K-Touch W700 (which is basically the Magnum 2X):

Looking pretty good given the specs.

Very competitive for P16K.

aze · 15 years ago

magkano to sir?

jj · 15 years ago

bad after-sale service. better invest from other OEMs

Ric · 15 years ago

Slightly off topic. If Cherry can create a phone with 8 GB of onboard storage, I wonder why HTC won’t? I wonder why they insist on relying on micro SD cards?

lawrence · 15 years ago

probably because it will pull the price of their units tad higher.

good things this one has huge onboard + sd slot. card slots are still better than none like iphones, atleast consumers have options.

The designers of this phone are just plain stupid??? A lot of consumers like me needs to have flashlight function on their phones.. heck a nokia 101 has one

wilde · 15 years ago

Only stupid people use their cellphones as flashlight.

BoRiS · 15 years ago

watch the videos! i’m beginning to fall in love with this! if Cherry mobile did not change anything from this other than the name, Magnum 2X would be an awesome phone.. i’m a huge Android fan and this is pretty worth it if the price is under 20K! :)

I think Totem is right! :) the K-Touch W700 is the exact resemblance of the Magnum 2X.. ^_^

Ric · 15 years ago

Not bad. I kinda like the design of this thing. If I didn’t have a phone, this one is definitly worth considering.

TheWunderDhog · 15 years ago

How bout release date?

milanaorly · 15 years ago

how bout battery life?

Totem · 15 years ago

Actually, the OEM is K-Touch W700 :)

Eason · 15 years ago

Originally the Micromax A85, anyways I hope Cherry won’t have another delay in their products just like Magnum 1 last year where it was delayed from Sept to December.
