One of Cherry Mobile's newest offerings this summer is the Flare Y7 LTE, packing a big display, a 13-megapixel rear camera, and Android Go on board. It's also currently hailed as one of the most affordable smartphones with a dewdrop notch today. Here's your first look on the device.

The box itself is reminiscent of other Cherry Mobile offerings. A slide out will reveal a box full of the usual components -- the phone itself, a SIM ejector tool, a few papers, a micro USB cable, earphones, and the wall charger.

当我们把设备上的所有贴纸都去掉后,Flare Y7 LTE 在外观上并非普通的 Cherry Mobile 设备。我们是认真的,这款设备拥有玻璃般的背面饰面和哑光聚碳酸酯机身,散发出高端的质感。

我们在正面配备了6.2英寸显示屏,顶部被5兆像素自拍摄像头凹口切割。底部的下巴也很大,但在横屏模式下导航时非常有用。

令人惊讶的是,设备的所有按钮都位于手机的左侧。音量按钮是独立的圆形按钮,而电源/锁定按钮则是药丸形状的。

卡槽可以通过右侧的弹出器撬开,但我们惊讶于它是混合设置——要么放入两张 nano‑SIM,要么放入 SIM‑microSD 组合卡。顶部是 micro USB 接口和音频插孔,底部是唯一的扬声器格栅,格栅中有一个小孔用于麦克风。

Flip the device over, and we find the glossy back of the Flare Y7 LTE. Not much is seen here aside from the Cherry Mobile logo, and the 13-megapixel rear camera with its accompanying LED Flash.

这款设备让人想起早期的iPhone迭代,拥有平直的边缘和方形握把。尽管如此,手机握持感依然舒适,尽管前后都有玻璃部件,仍然轻巧。得益于Android Go,手机的操作也非常流畅。

Oh dear, 8gb internal in 2019? The system OS alone with probably commune almost 2GB. Not unless you strictly install all Go Apps, then you’re fine.
